中天竺舍衛國祇洹寺圖經 2.53

2.53

中院東坊有倉碾碓磑，南西北方各開門。日有米穀食調營理頻煩，人物榱丙此院尤甚。其北大堂名造食厨。橫置一舍，廣極眺矚，有三十六竈，東西而列，銀同所成。中諸食器，為是天有，人非所議。厨東一院，門向南開，是米麵庫。眾具藏此院。東北角有一小院，中有房宇，典座所居。凡日造食，維那厨舍之前，典座居厨之後院，更有職司，不相攝屬。

The east quarters of the middle courtyard contain granaries, pestles, and millstones, with gates opening in the south, west, and north directions. Daily, the management and preparation of rice, grain, and provisions are bustling; the traffic of people and supplies is especially heavy in this courtyard. Its great hall to the north is called the Food Preparation Kitchen. An expansive hall is set horizontally, wide to the limits of one's gaze, containing thirty-six stoves arranged from east to west, made of silver and copper. The various dining utensils within belong to the heavens and are beyond human conception. East of the kitchen is a courtyard whose gate opens to the south; it is the storehouse for rice and flour. Utensils of all kinds are stored in this courtyard. In the northeast corner is a small courtyard containing chambers and buildings where the tenzo (cook-director) resides. Whenever food is prepared daily, the karmadāna stays before the kitchen hall, while the tenzo resides in the courtyard behind the kitchen; each has his own duties and they do not oversee one another.
