Prescription for the Parjuṣaṇā
If, in the course of the parjuşaṇā during the monsoon sojourn, a bhiksu takes his meal after a gap of a day, then, for him, there is a special prescription to the effect that he should go out in the morning, and at first take his meal, and thereafter clean his begging bowl. If that meal be enough for the day, then with that much intake, he should participate in the performance of the parjuşanā rites; but if the meal be not sufficient, then, for begging food and drink for a second time, he is permitted to enter into the residence of the householder and emerge out therefrom.
