[385 It is possible to take water from a vessel, but there is no such provision in the Pragama for taking water for drinking. Nor is there a tradition of taking food in this way.
Once water becomes a-chit, it can become chit again over time. Because beings from the one-sense to the non-conscious five-sense can be reborn in the same body of the same form. - Suy 0 Shru 2, A 3
In the fifth study of the Dasha Vaikalika Churni, it is said that in summer, water heated for a day and night becomes chit in the afternoon, and in winter and rainy season, water heated in the morning becomes chit in the evening.
As - Gimhe Aho Rattenam Sachitti Bhavathi, Hemant Vasasu Puvanhe Katam Avaranhe Sachitti Bhavathi. - Dasha. Churni Page 61, 114
There has been a misconception for some time about washing water, that its time of being a-chit is not mentioned, or that life arises in it quickly, therefore it is inconceivable for a Sadhu.
Such a statement is not appropriate according to the Agamas. Because the Agamas have provisions for taking many types of washing water, as well as a prohibition against taking freshly prepared washing water and a penance for taking it. Taking the same washing water after some time is considered conceivable. Therefore, the acceptability of washing water is clear.
In the Kalpantar Vachya Tika of the Kalpasutra, many types of washing water are discussed and it is considered conceivable for a Sadhu to take them even in the penance of Teli. And those who prohibit it are called Dharma and Agama-independent and not afraid of hell. As

It is noteworthy here that the author of this explanation is a Tapgachch Acharya, who has said a lot targeting the Kharataragachch and Anchalagachch who prohibit Avasravan etc. - Kalpa. Samarthana Preface.
_ In response to this, Kharataragachch Acharya Jinaprabhasuri wrote a verse-based chapter called 'Tapotamtakuṭṭan', refuting the taking of warm water by the Pradhakarmi and defending the taking of cold water that is a-chit, and wrote a lot in a language of anger to the Tapgachch Acharyas. See - Prabhandha Parijat Page 145-146
In the commentary of Acharang Shru 1, A 1, U 3, there is a description of washing water being a-chit and being conceivable for a Sadhu. There is also a description of many types of substances that make water a-chit.
In Pravachnasaroḍdhara Dvara 136, Gatha 881, it is stated that a-chit cold water that is Prasauk is acceptable, and in Gatha 882, the time for both hot water and Prasauk cold water to remain a-chit is also
