I, bhikṣu so-and-so, now on account of an illness of thirst—this ginger decoction, in order to drink it during the night, I now receive before the Venerable One." (Recited three times. If one receives it directly to drink without leftovers, the verbal procedure is not needed.) If it is grape, pear, fruit, honey syrup, or the like, one designates the syrup according to the illness, merely changing the name of the medicine.
