[119] "**Ten days at most**" means: it may be kept for ten days at the maximum. "**An extra bowl (atirekapatta)**" means: a bowl that has not been determined (anadhiṭṭhita), not assigned (avikappita). "**Bowl (patta)**" means: there are two kinds of bowl — the iron bowl and the clay bowl. There are three grades (vaṇṇā) of bowl: the large bowl, the medium bowl, and the small bowl. The **large bowl** takes half an āḷhaka of boiled rice, a fourth part of that in solid food (khādanīya), and curry (byañjana) suitable thereto. The **medium bowl** takes a nāḷika of boiled rice, a fourth part of that in solid food, and curry suitable thereto. The **small bowl** takes a pattha of boiled rice, a fourth part of that in solid food, and curry suitable thereto. Larger than that, it is not a bowl; smaller than that, it is not a bowl. [Siam Raṭṭha edition footnotes: ¹ In the Burmese (M.) and Ceylonese (Yu.) editions the word "iti" appears here. ² M. and Yu. read "khādanaṃ"; so also below.]
