[32] Now at that time sick bhikkhus had need of resins (jatu) as medicines. They informed the Blessed One of this matter. "Bhikkhus, I allow resin medicines: hiṅgu (asafoetida), hiṅgu-resin (hiṅgujatu), hiṅgu-gum (hiṅgusipāṭikā), taka, taka-patti, taka-paṇṇi, sajjulasa (resin), or whatever other resin medicines there are that neither serve the purpose of chewable food among chewable foods nor serve the purpose of eatable food among eatable foods — having accepted them, one may keep them for as long as life lasts and consume them when there is a reason; for one who consumes them when there is no reason, there is an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa)."
