The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya: "To smoke it to the colour of a peacock's throat or the colour of a dove is in accordance with the Dharma." The Samantapāsādikā: "An iron bowl is smoked five times; an earthen bowl is smoked twice." In the Vinaya: "One is permitted to make a bowl-smoking furnace," and so forth. (In this region bamboo smoke is mostly used, as the colour takes easily.)
