**Discussion:**
The previous sūtra dealt with the rules regarding accepting food from a house with multiple owners, including the owner of the bed, and the prohibition of accepting food from the owner of the bed, while allowing acceptance of food from other owners' houses. These sūtras address the rules regarding accepting food from a place where food from multiple individuals is collected, including food from the owner of the bed. They clarify when such food is unacceptable and when it is acceptable.
The first sūtra implies that if the collective food of multiple individuals is within the boundaries of the owner of the bed's house, and the owner's food is either separate or mixed with the others, it is not permissible for a monk to accept it.
The second sūtra implies that if the collective food of multiple individuals is outside the boundaries of the owner of the bed's house, and the owner's food is kept separate, it is not permissible to accept it.
