Water boiled three times, one after the other at a time, remains a-cita or free from these minute two-sensed living beings for 5 (five) prahars (fifteen (15) hours) in Summer; for four prahars 12 hours.) in Winter and for three (3) prahars (nine (9) hours) in the Rainy Season. Water thus boiled can be used for drinking purposes by Jain Sadhus for the periods mentioned above for each season without transgressing the-limit of any period of time.
