22. If food brought from another house to the house of a *sagarika* is accepted by the householder, it is permissible for the *sadhu* to accept it. The food brought to the *sagarika's* house from another house is called *prahutika*, and the food brought from the *sagarika's* house to another house is called *nihratika*. These four sutras explain the circumstances under which a *sadhu* can accept *prahutika* and *nihratika* food related to a *sagarika*. This *prahutika* and *nihratika* can be for a festival or celebration. If someone asks the *sadhu* to accept *prahutika* or *nihratika* food, the *sadhu* can accept the *prahutika* of the *sagarika* as long as it is not in the possession of the *sagarika*. The *sadhu* can accept the *nihratika* of the *sagarika* after it has been accepted by someone else. The *sadhu* cannot accept food from the person distributing the *nihratika* of the *sagarika*, but can accept food from the person distributing the *prahutika* of the *sagarika*. The previous sutra states that the *sagarika's* food can be accepted, whether it is separate or mixed with the food of many others, within the boundaries of the *sagarika's* house or elsewhere. These sutras state that the food can be accepted, whether it is in the *sagarika's* house or elsewhere, whether it is the *sagarika's* or someone else's, whether it is given or taken, as long as it is not in the possession of the *sagarika* or has not been accepted by someone else. The *sadhu* cannot accept the food as long as it is in the possession of the *sagarika* or if the *sagarika* has accepted food brought from someone else. It is important to understand the difference between these two scenarios. These sutras are meant to be understood in the context of a *bhiksu* arriving at the place where the *prahutika* and *nihratika* are being distributed, while on a *gochari* journey, and being invited by the distributor or receiver.
