謂每半月末日及六齋日可受持八戒齋之日也。雜阿含經四十一曰:「於法齋日及神足月受持齋戒。」
The day of abstinence observed at the end of each half month, also the six abstinence days, in all making the eight days for keeping the eight commandments.
另作「月十五日」,南傳作「在布薩日」(tadahuposathe),菩提比丘長老英譯為「布薩日」(the Uposatha day),並解說這是佛教徒的「儀式日」(observance day),在陰曆15日或14日晚上舉行,參看「布薩」。
