It was further laid down that a Bhikkhu who has finished his meals must not accept a second course on invitation lest it should "stir up longing" [*Pāt.*, op. cit.]. This is the rule of *Khalupaśchādbhattika*. There is also another rule of "eating at one sitting", *Aikāsanika* [*Majjhi. N.*, i, 437]. The rule of eating out of prescribed times has been already referred to. The wrong time of eating was after sun-turn [*Pāt.*, op. cit.]. There was again another rule of "eating from one vessel only" (*pattapiṇḍika*).
