If the monk feels: due to illness I am too weak and unable to beg from house to house and on his thus complaining, anybody brings food, drink etc. and gives them, he should after deliberation, say. "O long-lived householder, it does not behoove me to eat or drink those food etc. or accept anything else of the same kind."
Bhāṣyaṃ Sūtra 75
Here the word 'anybody' means devoted householder and the like, as has been explained in the Cūrṇi—'anybody else' means a devout householder or person endowed with right faith, or a man of upright attitude, or a person of wrong faith moved by compassion.[1]
