## 100. Pindaniyukti
It is said that a muni's vow of celibacy can be broken by mental disturbance caused by a woman's behavior as a wife.
• If the woman is of good character, a loving relationship can be established between them, and she may even give her widowed daughter-in-law in charity.
## 12. Vidyapind Dosha
Vidyā is that which has a presiding deity and is perfected through chanting, homa, etc. Obtaining alms by demonstrating Vidyā is Vidyapind Dosha. According to Mulachar, it is a Vidyā Dosha to obtain food by enticing someone with the promise of Vidyā or by extolling its virtues. The author of the Niyukti has alluded to the story of a mendicant and a devotee in relation to Vidyā. The use of Vidyā can lead to a person being affected by it or someone else associated with them using counter-Vidyā to harm the muni. The use of Vidyā can also lead to people accusing the muni of being a sinner, a magician, and a manipulator. Complaints to the king can lead to persecution and punishment by the king's men.
## 13. Mantra Pind Dosha
Mantra is that which has a presiding deity and is perfected simply by chanting without the need for homa, etc. Obtaining alms by performing miracles through the use of Mantra is Mantra Pind Dosha. The author of the Niyukti has referred to the story of King Murunda and Acharya Padalipta in relation to Mantra. The use of Mantra Pind carries the same faults as those mentioned for Vidyapind. According to the author, Mantra can be used correctly in exceptional circumstances for the benefit of the community.
Mulachar also explains this in a different way by considering Vidyā and Mantra together. According to it, calling upon the external deities who give food and perfecting them with Vidyā and Mantra is Vidyā Mantra Dosha.
