(see pattapisoika dhutayga).

The noble practitioner of the pattapisoika dhutayga doesn utilise any extra recipient, not even for dropping his own food wastes (bones, seeds, peel, etc.) In this case, the bhikkhu evacuates the wastes by spitting them out (into nature). The noble practitioner of this dhutayga can utilise another recipient only for spitting (mucus, saliva).

When the noble practitioner of this dhutayga finds some wastes in his mouth (bone(s), fish bone(s), pips, etc.), he should try to chew and swallow them. If this is not possible, he must not remove them by means of the hand; he must directly spit them out from the mouth, into nature.
