Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Vomitting’ and ‘purging’ are well known. The man who throws out the food that he has eaten is said to have ‘vomitted’. The man the number of whose motions has gone beyond the number eight,— either through disease, or through his having taken Harītakī or some such purgative—is said to have ‘purged.’

These two persons should first of all bathe.

Then, they should eat clarified butter and then any other kind of food; and the injunction of eating clarified batter is meant to be a prohibition of other kinds of food. Just as in the case of expiatory rites, ashes and water are regarded as means of purification, so in the case in question, is the eating of clarified butter.

‘After having taken food he should only sip water’— After he has taken his food, if he happen to vomit or purge on the same day, then he should do the sipping of water only, and not. bathing and eating of clarified butter.

Others have taken this independently by itself, to mean that ‘after having taken his food he should sip water this being a reiteration of the water-sipping that has already been prescribed as to be done after meals.

‘One who has copulated,’—i.e., one who has had sexual intercourse with a woman,—becomes pure by bathing. (142).
