## 105. Pindaniyukti: An Observation 2. AChitta Prakshit.
There are three types of Sachitta Prakshit: 1. PrithviKay Prakshit, 2. ApKay Prakshit, 3. VanaspatiKay Prakshit.
**Sachitta PrithviKay Prakshit:** Accepting alms with a hand or vessel that is touched by dry or moist Sachitta PrithviKay.
**ApKay Prakshit:** Accepting alms with a hand or vessel that is touched by dry or moist Sachitta Rasa (juices). There are four types of Sachitta ApKay Prakshit: 1. Purahkarma - Washing hands with Sachitta water before giving alms to a Sadhu. 2. Paschatkarma - Washing hands with Sachitta water after giving alms. 3. Sasnigdha - Accepting alms with hands slightly wet with Sachitta water. 4. Udaka - Accepting alms with a hand that is touched by Sachitta water that is dripping.
**VanaspatiKay Prakshit:** Accepting alms with a hand that is touched by the juices of a VanaspatiKay or any other ordinary plant's smooth parts.
The remaining three Kayas - Tejas, Vayu, and Tras - do not have Sachitta-AChitta forms of Prakshit, therefore they are not considered here.
There are eight Bhangs formed by the combination of Sansrusht hand, Sansrusht vessel, Savasesha dravya (substance with residue) and their opposites - Asansrusht hand, Asansrusht vessel, and Niravasesha dravya (substance without residue).
* Sansrusht hand, Sansrusht vessel, and Savasesha dravya.
* Sansrusht hand, Sansrusht vessel, and Niravasesha dravya.
* Sansrusht hand, Asansrusht vessel, and Savasesha dravya.
* Sansrusht hand, Asansrusht vessel, and Niravasesha dravya.
* Asansrusht hand, Sansrusht vessel, and Savasesha dravya.
* Asansrusht hand, Sansrusht vessel, and Niravasesha dravya.
* Asansrusht hand, Asansrusht vessel, and Savasesha dravya.
* Asansrusht hand, Asansrusht vessel, and Niravasesha dravya.
In the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth options, there is a possibility of Paschatkarma, therefore accepting alms in those Bhangs is prohibited. In the odd-numbered Bhangs, accepting alms is permissible because due to the presence of Savasesha, even if the hand and vessel are Sansrusht, there is no possibility of Paschatkarma.
