(Mv.VI.40.1) [92] Now at that time, the monks were becoming anxious about all sorts of possibilities, (thinking,) “What has been allowed by the Blessed One? What hasn’t been allowed?”

They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

“Monks, whatever I have not objected to, saying, ‘This is not allowable,’ if it conforms with what is not allowable, if it goes against [lit: preempts] what is allowable, that is not allowable for you.

“Whatever I have not objected to, saying, ‘This is not allowable,’ if it conforms with what is allowable, if it goes against what is not allowable, that is allowable for you.

“Whatever I have not allowed, saying, ‘This is allowable,’ if it conforms with what is not allowable, if it goes against what is allowable, that is not allowable for you.

“Whatever I have not allowed, saying, ‘This is allowable,’ if it conforms with what is allowable, if it goes against what is not allowable, that is allowable for you.”

(Mv.VI.40.2) [93] Then the thought occurred to the monks, “Is it allowable — night-watch-time[2] (juice) with right-time (food) — or is it not allowable?

“Is it allowable — a seven-day (tonic) (mixed) with right-time (food) — or is it not allowable?

“Is it allowable — lifetime (medicine) (mixed) with right-time (food) — or is it not allowable?

“Is it allowable — a seven-day (tonic) (mixed) with night-watch-time (juice) — or is it not allowable?

“Is it allowable — lifetime (medicine) (mixed) with night-watch-time (juice) — or is it not allowable?

“Is it allowable — lifetime (medicine) (mixed) with a seven-day (tonic) — or is it not allowable?”

They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

(Mv.VI.40.3) “Night-watch-time (juice) received that day (mixed) with right-time (food) is allowable during the right time and not allowable at the wrong time.

“A seven-day (tonic) received that day (mixed) with right-time (food) is allowable during the right time and not allowable at the wrong time.

“Lifetime (medicine) received that day (mixed) with right-time (food) is allowable during the right time and not allowable at the wrong time.

“A seven-day (tonics) received that day (mixed) with night-watch-time (juice) is allowable through the watches of the night and not allowable when the watches of the night have past.

“Lifetime (medicine) received that day (mixed) with night-watch-time (juice) is allowable through the watches of the night and not allowable when the watches of the night have past [3]

“Lifetime (medicine) received that day (mixed) with a seven-day (tonic) is allowable for seven days and not allowable when seven days have past.”[4]

The Medicine Khandhaka, the sixth, is finished.

In this khandhaka there are 106 cases.[6]
