2.111 duhao chetta niyai.
Desisting from both lust and hatred, the monk rightly leads a self-disciplined life.
Bhāṣyam Sutra 111
The ascetic controls both attachment and aversion and lives a disciplined life. The love and hate for the agreeable and the disagreeable is the cause of accepting the unacceptable. Therefore, abstinence from both attachment and aversion is prescribed here.

strawmats.

paveiyam.
He should know the proper quantity of food obtained, as prescribed by the Lord.
Bhasyam Sutra 113
The monk should know the quantity of food needed by him. As regards the quantity, the monk should obey the prescription of the Lord, says the Sutra. The following quantity is prescribed in the Bhagavati (7.24):
'The consumer of eight morsels of food each morsel no bigger than a henegg, is the eater of the least. The consumer of twelve morsels is the eater of less than what fills his half stomach; The consumer of sixteen morsels is the eater of what fills half stomach. The consumer of twenty-four morsels eats what fills less than the full stomach; The consumer of thirty two morsels eats what fills his full stomach. The monk consuming even one morsel less than thirty-two is not considered greedy of palate'.11
2.114 labho tti na majjejjā.
He should not be infatuated with the gain of food.
2.115 alabho tti na soyae
Nor should he feel depressed for lack of gain.
