[ Sarvasampatkari Bhikṣāṣtakam ]
akrto’kāritaścānyairasankalpita eva ca. yateh pindah samakhyato viouddhah suddhikārakah.
That lump of food of monks, which is neither prepared by monk himself, nor got prepared by others for himself and also not intentionally prepared by the householder to give it to monk is described as pure food and which is purifier of his monkhood.
yo na sankalpitah pūrvam deyabuddhyā kathaṁ nu tam. dadāti kaścidevaṁ ca sa visuddho vặthoditam.
One may say how one may give that food not intended earlier to give it to monk, hence that purity of lump of food is meaningless.
na caivaṁ sadgrhasthānam bhikṣā grāhyā grhesu yat. svaparārtham tu te yatnam kurvate nānyathā kvacit.
If the monks are prohibited to take the food which is intentionally prepared for them, they ought not to go for begging to the houses of virtuous house-holders, because they do cooking etc. not only for themselves but for monks
