Prescription for the Parjuşaņā
161 वासावासं पज्जोसवियाणं णो कप्पइ णिग्गंठाण वा णिग्गंठीण वा हट्ठाणं आरोग्गाणं वलीय-सरीराणं इमानो णव-रस-विगईओ अभिक्खणं आहारित्तए। तं जहाः खीरं दहिं णवणीय सप्पिं तेल्लं गुडं मच्छं मज्जं मंसं। १७ In the course of the parjuşaņā during their monsoon sojourn, monks and nuns, who are healthy, who are without physical ailments, and are strong, are not permitted to take frequently these nine items that may cause disorder. They are :
milk, curd, fresh butter, clarified butter, oil, jaggery, honey, wine and meat. वासावासं पज्जोसवियाणं अथ्थेगइयाणं एवं वुत्त-पुव्वं भवइ : अट्ठो भंते ! गिलाणस्स ? से य वएज्जा : अट्ठो: से य पुच्छेयव्वे-केवइएणं अट्ठो? से य वएज्जा : एवइएणं अट्ठो गिलाणस्स । जं से पमाणं वयइ से पमाणे अोघेत्तव्वे । से य विण्णवेज्जा से य विण्णवेमाणे लभेज्जा से य पमाणपत्ते: होउ ! अलाहि ! इ इ वत्तव्वं सिया । से किमाहु भंते ? एवइएणं अट्ठो गिलाणस्स । सिया णं एणं वयंत परो वएज्जाः पडिगाहेहि अज्जो! तुमं पच्छा भोक्खसि वा पाहिसि वा। एवं से कप्पइ पडिगाहित्तए णो से कप्पइ गिलाणस्स णीसाए पडिगाहित्तए ।
The following submission is first made to the acārya supervising the performance of the parjuşaņā during the monsoon sojourn :
—'Bhante ! Are the aforesaid items necessary for the sick people ?' He (the ācārya says)— Yes, they are. Then (he) is to be asked-'How much is necessary' ? He will say-So much is necessary for the sick people'. The quantity mentioned by him has to be accepted. He will communicate it to the householder, and having communicated, he will obtain the same. Having obtained the requisite quantity he will say, -'Thank you. No more.' (If the householder says)—Bhante! Why do ye say so ?' ----'Because this much is necessary for the sick people.' If on this the fellow says— Arya ! It behoves thee to accept, which ye may afterwards eat and drink,' then acceptance is permitted, but not on the pretension that the thing is needed for the sick.
