156/1. If a female lay devotee brings food from her home to the monk's residence, revealing the following reasons, it is called Nonishithswagrāma Abhyāhr̥ta:
* When the monk went for alms, no one was at home.
* Or, it was not the time for alms.
* Or, food was prepared for specific individuals, so alms were not given before their arrival.
* Or, after the monk who came for alms left, sweets for a festival arrived.
* Or, when the monk came for alms, the householder was asleep.
157. The same order that was stated for Nonishith Abhyāhr̥ta related to Swagrāma-Paragrāma should be known for Nishītha Abhyāhr̥ta. Where the giver's intention is unknown, it should be known as Nishītha Abhyāhr̥ta.
157/1-4. Some monks were far away, and some were across the river. (The lay devotee had a lot of sweets left over from a wedding.) The lay devotee thought that the monks would not accept the sweets due to the possibility of Ādhākarma, so some lay devotees secretly took the sweets (to the village across the river). There, they stayed in a temple and started giving small amounts to the twice-born (Dwij) and others. They gave to the monks who had gone out for Ucchāra and other activities. At the request of those monks, the remaining monks also went there for alms. (So that the monks would not be suspicious, a lay devotee said deceitfully)- 'Do not give them everything, give them only what is necessary.' Another said- 'Give everything to the monks, we only need a little bit left.' The monks who had taken the Navakārsi with Namaskāra had already eaten. Those who had taken Purimārddha (two Paurashis) due to indigestion, etc., did not eat. After giving the alms, the lay devotees came there to pay their respects. They performed all the rituals, including Naishēdhīkī. (The monks realized that this food was brought for us.) At that time, the monks who had taken Purimārddha and had not eaten, did not eat that food. Those who had picked up the Kaval, put it back in the bowl. Those who had put the Kaval in their mouths, spat it out into the nearby Mallak-Pātra as soon as they realized. All the food in the vessels was purified. All the lay devotees apologized to the monks and returned. Those who had eaten earlier or had eaten half, are pure due to their deceitful nature.
157/5. (A householder goes to another householder's house with a Prāheṇaka to avoid the possibility of Abhyāhr̥ta. While returning, she goes to the monk's residence with the intention of giving alms to the monks and says)- 'Bhagavan! I received this Prāheṇaka while going to such and such house, or I received it on such and such day of the week.'
