PATIMOKKHA.
51. There is Pâkittiya in the drinking of fermented liquors, or strong drinks ?.
52. There is Pâkittiya in poking (another person) with the finger.
53. There is Pâkittiya in sporting in the water? 54. There is Pâkittiya in disrespect 3.
55. Whatsoever Bhikkhu shall frighten a Bhikkhu 4that is a Pâkittiya.
56. Whatsoever Bhikkhu, who is not sick, shall, desiring to warm himself 5, kindle a fire, or have a fire kindled, without cause sufficient thereto-that is a Pâkittiya.
57. Whatsoever Bhikkhu shall bathe at intervals of less than half a month, except on the proper occasion—that is a Pâkittiya.

1 The Old Commentary (quoted by Minayeff, p. 90) distinguishes between surâ and meraya by the former being derived from flour, water, &c., and the latter from flowers, fruits, &c.
2 Throwing water over one another, and chasing one another, were common amusements at the public and private bathing-places. Our MSS. read throughout hâsa-dhamme.
3 Anâdariye. That is, according to the Vibhanga, paying no heed, when one's attention is drawn by an upasampanna to the fact that this or that action is against the rule laid down (paññattam). But compare also Kullavagga VIII, 8, 1.
• In the text read bhimsâ peyya.
8 H.O.'s MS. reads visibbanâpekho. At Mahavagga I, 20, 15, visibbesum occurs in the sense of they warmed themselves.' Trenckner at p. 47 of the Milinda Pañha reads aggim galetva visivetvâ; and at p. 102, samsibbita visibbitattâ sâkhânam.
