Answer
If boiled water was completed at 7:15 AM, then its kāl is generally counted for one prahar, which is about 3 hours.
So the boiled water may be used until approximately:

Explanation
In Jain practice, boiled water is used to reduce harm to subtle living beings in water. After boiling, it is considered suitable only for a limited period.
The commonly followed rule is:

- If boiled at 7:15 AM
- Then its time limit is until 10:15 AM
