c10.90

As follows from Sūy. I 2, 2, 18-20; 3, 3, 12; 3, 4, 1-4; 7, 12; Āyār. I 3, 20-23, etc. the monk may neither drink nor use cold water, i.e. water in its natural state. It must be boiled and is then called *udaga-viyaḍa* (K., Nis., Āyār. II, etc.). Even externally no live matter may adhere to the food, comp. Āyār. II 49, 1, and it must not stand on natural ground (Āyār. II 61, 10, 28; 60, 5; Nis. 17, 126-129). Another important question is whether the vessel or the hands of either the giver or the receiver of the food or the beverage are moist (*saṃsaṭṭha*, Āyār. II 59, 5; Dasav. 5, 1, 31-36) or not. This leads to establish 7 different ways of how the monk must have alms being given to him (*piṇḍ’esaṇā, pāṇ’es*. Āyār. II 69, 7; Thāṇ. 385 b).
