“Now, Venerable Sir, what is the meaning declared of drink and food that has gone beyond the weapon, has been altered by a weapon, is properly sought, collected, and obtained from diverse households?”
“Gautama! When a male monk or a female monk, having laid aside weapon and pestle, free from garlands, pigments, and unguents, consumes food that has departed, fallen, abandoned, and left behind its [living] body, is deserted by life, is not made [for them], not caused to be made, not premeditated, uninvited, not bought for them, not specifically prepared, pure in nine categories, free from the ten faults, thoroughly pure regarding origin, production, and seeking, devoid of burning embers, devoid of smoke, freed from the fault of combination, without slurping noises, without smacking noises, neither quickly nor slowly, without scattering crumbs, regarding it as axletree-grease or application to a wound, merely for the purpose of sustaining the journey of self-restraint, for the sake of bearing the burden of self-restraint, with oneself acting like a snake [entering] a hole—that, Gautama, is declared to be the meaning of drink and food that has gone beyond the weapon, has been altered by a weapon, is properly sought, collected, and obtained from diverse households.”
“So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!”
