Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
That time at which people have already eaten. Similarly with the other epithets, ‘Vidhūme’ and the rest.
‘Removal of the dishes,’—the throwing away of the dishes in which people have taken their food; when this has been finished.
From all this what follows is that he shall beg for food after the first occasion for the giving of alms, during the first instalment of the cooking, has passed away.
‘When there ie no smoke’ etc., indicate the impossibility of the cooking being done again.
When the pestles have ‘ceased to ply’—i.e., kept aside.—(56)
