## Fourteenth Uddesaka
**[321 27. A monk who dries his bowl on wood containing termites and other living beings, or on a place containing eggs, or on a place containing a spider web, or who approves of someone doing so.**
**28. A monk who dries his bowl on a pillar, a threshold, a mortar, or a bathing platform, or on any other such aerial place that is not properly secured or is movable, or who approves of someone doing so.**
**29. A monk who dries his bowl on a mud wall, a brick wall, a stone, or a stone slab, or on any other such aerial place that is not properly secured or is movable, or who approves of someone doing so.**
**30. A monk who dries his bowl on a shoulder, or on the roof of a palace, or on any other such aerial place that is not properly secured or is movable, or who approves of someone doing so. [He incurs the minor Chaturmasika Pratikramana].**
**Discussion:** In the Pancha. Shru. 2, A. 6, U. 1, it is stated that drying the bowl in eleven places is prohibited. Of these, eight places are prohibited only due to the killing of living beings, and the remaining three places, in addition to the killing of living beings, also have the possibility of the bowl breaking if it falls, and the monk falling. Therefore, the bowl can be dried in a safe place where it will not fall from above.
In the previous Sutra, the Pratikramana for washing the bowl is mentioned. If there is a need to dry it in the sun after washing due to some special reason, then the Pratikramana for drying it in unsuitable places is mentioned here.
The special meanings and discussions of the words used in these eleven Sutras have been given in the eleven Sutras at the beginning of the thirteenth Uddesaka. There, the Pratikramana for standing or staying in those places is mentioned. Here, the Pratikramana for drying the bowl in those same places is mentioned. Similarly, the Pratikramana for excreting and drying clothes in these eleven places is mentioned in the sixteenth and eighteenth Uddesakas. The eleven Sutras are the same everywhere.
**Pratikramana for taking the bowl after removing the living beings, etc.**
**31. A monk who takes the bowl after removing the living beings, or who causes them to be removed, or who takes the bowl while they are being removed, or who approves of someone doing so.**
**32. A monk who takes the bowl after removing the seeds, or who causes them to be removed, or who takes the bowl while they are being removed, or who approves of someone doing so.**
**33. A monk who takes the bowl after removing the roots, leaves, flowers, or fruits, or who causes them to be removed, or who takes the bowl while they are being removed, or who approves of someone doing so.**
