## Pinḍaniryukti: An Observation
**2. Murmur:** The half-cooked fire particles of āpingala color are called murmur.
**3. Angāra:** Fire without flames is called angāra.
**4. Aprāpta-jvalā:** A vessel placed on the stove, which does not touch the fire, is called aprāpta-jvalā.
**5. Prāpta-jvalā:** Fire that touches the pitharak is called prāpta-jvalā.
**6. Sama-jvalā:** Fire that touches the upper part of the vessel is called sama-jvalā.
**7. Vyutkrānta-jvalā:** Fire that rises above the vessel placed on the stove is called vyutkrānta-jvalā.
Just as a sa-citta deposit is made on a sa-citta, similarly, on mixed earth, there is a deposit of sa-citta earth, on sa-citta earth, there is a deposit of mixed earth, and on mixed earth, there is a deposit of mixed earth. Similarly, there are four divisions of deposit on a-citta with sa-citta and mixed. In these three four-fold divisions, the fourth division of the four-fold division related to a-citta is the object of bhakta-pāna.
Where there is a deposit on sa-citta, a-citta, or mixed substance, there are two types of mārgṇā: anantara and parampara. The anantara and parampara deposit of the ṣaḍ-jīvanikāya is as follows: where a thing is placed directly on sa-citta earth without any interval, it is the anantara deposit of the sa-citta-pṛthvīkāya. Similarly, the deposit on the pitharak etc. placed on the earth is parampara-nikshipta. Butter etc. placed in sa-citta water is anantara-nikshipta, and the butter placed in a boat in river water is parampara-nikshipta. *Grain husk blown by the wind is anantara-nikshipta, and the thing deposited on a vessel filled with air is parampara-nikshipta. From the perspective of the vanaspathikāya, the thing deposited on greenery is anantara-nikshipta, and the malpūā etc. deposited in the pitharak etc. placed on greenery is parampara-nikshipta. From the perspective of the trasakāya, the malpūā etc. placed on the back of a bull etc. is anantara-nikshipta, and the malpūā placed on the back of a bull in vessels like kutupa etc. is parampara-nikshipta. According to the commentator, the total number of divisions of nikshipta is 432.
By reading the entire context of nikshipta, it can be understood how meticulously the Jain ācāryas have thought about the bhikṣācāryā of a sadhu. There is no mention of such a subtle ahiṃsā-based bhikṣācāryā for the monastic class of any other religion.
