74. Receiving an invitation to request [medicines] freely for four months, down to excluding a single [invitation to] request freely. The Śākya realm invited the Buddha and the Saṃgha, offering medicine for the four months of the summer, to be taken according to need, requesting everything freely. Monks of the ṣaḍvargika group, not being ill and the time limit having expired, sought further, asking for ghee, oil, honey, and delicious, superior medicines. When the superior medicines were exhausted and could not be supplied according to what was needed and desired, they further gave rise to anger and scolding, thereby incurring outside displeasure. On this account, the precept was formulated: once the limit has passed, one must not seek further. If a donor makes a perpetual invitation, where the son succeeds the deceased father and allows the Saṃgha freely to take medicine, this is called 'perpetual invitation to request freely'. If originally medicine was offered to the Saṃgha for the four months of the summer, and during the first month one sought and obtained it, then one receives three months in the summer, and in the winter adds one month and two days to obtain it, completing three months in the winter; and if during the four months of the summer it was not obtained, in the winter one receives four months more, seeking in the summer and seizing in the winter to make up the summer, making a full four months, this is called 'repeated invitation to request freely'. The four months of winter and spring are also like this. Receiving it month by month in other cases is also a repeated invitation to request freely. When an invitation is not to the community, this is called an 'individual invitation to request freely'. Excluding these three invitations, after the four-month invitation has ended, if one who is not ill further seeks superior medicines of excessive delicacy such as the four kinds of lozenges, if obtained it is an offense of pāyattika; if not obtained, a duṣkṛta. If one seeks bitter, coarse, inferior medicines such as harītakī, whether obtained or not it is a duṣkṛta. If one seeks when ill, if one seeks from relatives, or if they give it of their own accord, in all cases there is no offense.
