Seventh: whether it may be added repeatedly or not. Regarding physical receipt, if contact causes the loss of the original receipt, one must receive it again; repeating it carries no fault. Regarding verbal procedure, the *Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā* states: If it is touched within five days, one adds the seven-day procedure again, not a two-day procedure; this does not follow the medicinal efficacy, but is judged strictly according to the legal procedure. From the sixth day onward, it cannot be added again, because the medicine is about to enter purification. The *Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya* merely says: Because the medicinal potencies connect, the seven days can be known. As above, if a kappiyakāraka mistakenly touches seven-day oil, receipt is lost. The *Satyasiddhi-śāstra* states: As in the method of consuming butter, reaching a maximum of seven days, stubborn illness can be dispelled.
