## Ninth Uddeshak [429]
A 'datti' is the amount of food or water given to a sadhu in one go, without breaking the flow of the offering. It doesn't matter if the datti is given by hand, from a vessel, or from a soup bowl, etc. It doesn't matter if it is given in small amounts or in large amounts without stopping. All of this is considered a single datti. If food is kept in multiple vessels or in the hands of multiple people, and it is collected into one vessel or one hand and given to the sadhu, it is still considered a single datti. For a kar-patri bhikku (who does not carry a vessel), the amount of food given in one go, using the methods described above, is considered a datti.
