又五辛報應經云。七眾等不得食肉熏辛。讀誦經論得罪。有病開在伽藍外白衣家。服已滿四十九日。香湯澡浴竟。然後許讀誦經論不犯。

Also, the Sūtra on the Karmic Retribution for the Five Pungent Roots states: “The seven assemblies and others must not eat meat or pungent roots. Reading and reciting sūtras and treatises [after having done so] constitutes an offense. In case of illness, an exception allows one to stay outside the saṅghārāma at the house of a white-robed layperson. After having taken it, when forty-nine days have been completed and one has bathed with fragrant water, only then is it permitted to read and recite sūtras and treatises without offense.”
