-Suy. Shru. 1, A. 6, Ga. 25
10. Even if it is offered as a gift, such as: Odan, Kummas, Ganj, Tappan, Madhu, Bhujjiya, Palal, Soup, Sakkuli, Vedhim, Varasarakachunna, Kosag, Pind, Siharini, Vatt, Moyag, Kheer, Dahi, Sappi, Navaniy, Tell, Gul, Khand, Macchhandiy, Khajjakavanjan, Vihima, etc., it is not permissible to eat it at night, even if it is offered by a friend or a relative.
Question: Shru. 2, A. 5, Su. 4
11. Even if a monk is offered food, and he is suffering from a disease, such as: vata, pitta, etc., which affects the whole body, it is not permissible to eat it, even if it is his own medicine or the medicine of another.
Question: Shru. 2, A. 5, Su. 7
This passage clearly states that it is forbidden for a monk to keep any food or medicine overnight. The commentary explains that if a monk keeps food overnight in an exceptional situation, he incurs the prescribed atonement mentioned in the sutra.
A monk who has conquered the disease of greed and the thirst for food and drink will never take advantage of this exception, but will instead follow the path of pure restraint and the commands of the Lord. For the sake of food, he will not stay overnight elsewhere and incur the atonement for doing so.
79. If a monk sees another monk taking food from a rich man's house, a woman's house, a house where food is prepared in memory of a deceased person, a cattle shed, or any other such place, and he desires that food or is thirsty for it, and he goes to another place (another upashraya) to spend the night because of that desire, or he approves of someone else doing so, he incurs the atonement of Guruchaumasi.
Meaning: If a monk sees another monk taking food from a rich man's house, a woman's house, a house where food is prepared in memory of a deceased person, a cattle shed, or any other such place, and he desires that food or is thirsty for it, and he goes to another place (another upashraya) to spend the night because of that desire, or he approves of someone else doing so, he incurs the atonement of Guruchaumasi.
Explanation: The words "Ahenam" etc. are explained in Acharanga Sutra Shru. 2, A. 1, U. 4. According to that, the meaning is as given here. In addition, "Hingolan" there also means food taken on a journey to a Yaksha, etc., and "Sammelan" means food prepared in honor of relatives, etc.
The commentary on this sutra gives alternative explanations for these words, which are as follows:
"Ahenam" - 1. Food, etc., that comes as a gift from another's house. 2. Food, etc., that is taken from the woman's house to the man's house as a gift. 3. Food, etc., that is sent back and forth between the man's house and the woman's house.
