## [The 209th Objective]
[A monk who, after food or water has come up to his mouth during the night or the twilight, swallows it again or approves of the one who swallows it. (He incurs the Guruchaumasi Pratikraman.)]
**Discussion:** One may experience Udgal (regurgitation) during the day, night, or twilight due to overeating. If the Udgal comes up to the throat and returns, there is no Pratikraman. However, if it comes to the mouth and is swallowed, the monk incurs Pratikraman, but not if it is swallowed during the day.
The commentator (Bhashya, Churnikar) has explained this with the example of a drop of water on a hot 'tava' (griddle), that the monk should eat such a limited amount of food that it is completely digested by the digestive fire, and no digestive disorder occurs.
This sutra encourages the observance of subtle rules related to nighttime meals.
The Agamkaras have considered swallowing Udgal as nighttime food. Therefore, it is called Guruchaumasi Pratikraman.
**Pratikraman for negligence in the service of the sick**
30. A monk who, having heard or known about a sick monk, does not find out his whereabouts or approves of the one who does not find out.
31. A monk who, having heard or known about a sick monk, leaves the path leading to the sick monk and goes by another path or by the same path (the one he came from) or approves of the one who does so.
32. A monk who, being present in the service of the sick, does not express regret to the sick monk when his own benefit does not allow him to serve the sick, or approves of the one who does not do so.
33. A monk who, being present in the service of the sick, does not tell the sick monk when he does not get the appropriate medicine, diet, etc., or approves of the one who does not do so. (He incurs the Guruchaumasi Pratikraman.)
**Discussion:** 1. If one receives information about a sick person who needs service, one should obtain complete information and go to serve him.
