Now at that time the Bhikkhus who were sick had need of sifted 4 chunam as medicine.\nThey told this thing to the Blessed One.\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a chunam sieve.'\nThey had need of the chunam very fine.\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a cloth sieve.'\n2.

Thereby his sickness abated.\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, in the case of a disease not human, the use of raw flesh and of blood.'\n49:4 K\u00e2leti has often a more definite meaning than 'shake.'
