[Nishīthasūtra
A minor monthly atonement arises from accepting prasnadi (questions) brought from a place more than three houses (rooms) away.
The word "three" is used in many places in common parlance and in the Agamas. It is used to define the limit of a subject or to determine it. Here, the limit has been defined by the word "three". There is a possibility of fault in bringing an object from a distance beyond this limit.
