Sixth Khandhaka: Chapter 10

10. 1. Now at that time the Bhikkhus who were sick had need of sifted 4 chunam as medicine. They told this thing to the Blessed One. 'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a chunam sieve.' They had need of the chunam very fine. 'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a cloth sieve.' 2. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu had a disease not human. Though his teacher and his superior nursed him, they were not able to make him well. He went to a place where swine were slaughtered, and ate the raw flesh, and drank the blood. Thereby his sickness abated. They told this thing to the Blessed One. 'I allow, O Bhikkhus, in the case of a disease not human, the use of raw flesh and of blood.' 49:4 Kâleti has often a more definite meaning than 'shake.' Compare Gâtaka I, 71.
