c10.43

A *mattaga* different from the one mentioned and existing in three types serves both monks and nuns for their excrements and as a spittoon during the rainy season preventing them from going out (K. 1, 16f.) It probably equals the *kamaḍhaga* attributed to them by Ohaṇijj. 675. Finally Ohaṇijj. 713 f. refers to a *mattaya* as a means of fetching and carrying away things of sorts, though a *jiṇa-kappiya* will not use it.
