Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

5: The Book of the Fives

207. Rice Porridge

1"Bhikkhus, there are these five benefits in rice porridge. What five? It stills hunger, dispels thirst, settles wind, cleans out the bladder, and promotes the digestion of the remnants of undigested food. These are the five benefits in rice porridge."

1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā yāguyā. Katame pañca? Khuddaṁ paṭihanati, pipāsaṁ paṭivineti, vātaṁ anulometi, vatthiṁ sodheti, āmāvasesaṁ pāceti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā yāguyā"ti.


Sattamaṁ.
