Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
The food that has been described above, he should obtain day after day, just enough to serve for the day.
The man who has a collection that lasts for one month. The form is obtained by the adding of the affix ‘ṭhan’. Or the reading may be ‘māsasañcayakaḥ’ and the word explained as a Bahuvrīhi compound: ‘he whose collection is sufficient for a month’.
Similarly with the last two expressions.—(18).
