Ārya Ayampula! The saying of our religious preceptor with regard to the use of drinks by the mendicants is that drinks of four kinds are drinkable and drinks of four kinds are undrinkable.
Drinkablel waters are 1. Co-pristaja 2. Hastammarita. 3. Ātapa-tapta and 4. Silāprabhraşța.
1. Go-pristaja jala is water that has dropped after touching the hind part of a cow.
2. Hasta-mardita jala is water prepared by hands besmeared with clay.
3. Ātapa-tapta jala is water heated by fire or by the rays of the Sun.
4. Śilā prabhasta jala is water that has fallen forcibly from a slab of stone.
Water which cannot be drunk but which cannot be used by mendicants are. 1. Sthala Jala. 2. Tvacà Jala 3. Phali Jala and 4. Suddha Jala
1. Sthāla Jala is water in articles such as Khasa-ki-Tatti (a curtain, made of fine scented reeds, to be hung on doors or windows and to be kept wet with drippling water for keeping the temperature of rooms cool and fragrant in summer months) or pots, as well as, pieces of cloth kept wet with cold water, whose cooling pleasant touch pacifies the heat of bilious and other types of fevers.
2. Tovacājala-The juice of unripe mango fruit or of berries which is repeatedly sucked at short intervals for reducing heat is called Tvacă Jala.
