## Translation:
**232] [Brihatkalpa Sutra 7.** A monk who has vowed to beg for alms between sunrise and sunset, but is uncertain about the time of sunrise or sunset, and is eating while still able to taste, if he learns that sunrise has not occurred or sunset has already occurred, then he should spit out the food that is in his mouth, hand, or bowl, and cleanse his mouth and other parts. He will not have transgressed the Jina's command. If he eats that food himself or gives it to another non-Jain, then he will be guilty of eating at night, and therefore he will be liable for the Anudghatik Chaturmasik Pratikraman.
**8.** A monk who has vowed to beg for alms between sunrise and sunset, and is certain about the time of sunrise or sunset, and is eating while still able to taste, if he learns that sunrise has not occurred or sunset has already occurred, then he should spit out the food that is in his mouth, hand, or bowl, and cleanse his mouth and other parts. He will not have transgressed the Jina's command. If he eats that food himself or gives it to another non-Jain, then he will be guilty of eating at night, and therefore he will be liable for the Anudghatik Chaturmasik Pratikraman.

* The third sutra is for an **Asamstṛta** and **Nivicikitsa** monk.
