If the Benediction after a Meal has been forgotten.

M.VIII. 8 (7). In the case of him who has eaten, and has forgotten, and not said the Benediction—the School of Shammai say: Let him return to his place ¹ and say it. The School of Hillel say: Let him say it in the place where he remembers it. ² How long after may he say the Benediction? Until the food in his bowels is consumed. ³
