**Discussion:**
The Praachana Shruta 2, Pra. 6, U. 1 and the Thaananga Sutra Pra. 3 prescribe three types of vessels for acceptance and use by monks and nuns:
1. Copper vessels,
2. Wooden vessels,
3. Clay vessels.
Many other Agamas also describe these three types of vessels. The Praachana A. 2, A. 6, U. 1 mentions the acceptance of vessels made of iron and other materials, as well as vessels with bands made of iron and other materials.| SR No. | 003462 |
