**Kalaatikrant** is a fault committed when the time for consuming the food offered (**pindaniyukti**) has passed. A sadhu can consume the food until the third prahar (time period). After that, the food becomes unfit for consumption due to **kalaatikrant** and needs to be **parishthapit** (disposed of).
**Margatikrant** is a fault committed when the food is consumed more than half a yojana (two kos) away from the place where it was offered.
Consuming **kshetrattikrant** food results in a **chaar guru** (four guru) penance. This also leads to other faults like **aagyaabhang** (disobedience), **sanyamviraadhana** (violation of restraint), etc. The faults arising from consuming **kshetrattikrant** food are discussed in detail in the **bhaashya** literature.
**Changes in the Rules of Bhikshaacharya**
From Mahavira to the present day, it is a subject of historical research to understand the changes in the rules of **bhikshaacharya** (begging for food). How many rules have been **kritkrit** (abolished) and how many new rules have been established?
Reading about **pindaniyukti** clearly shows that the sadhu's **aachaar-sanhita** (code of conduct) has changed significantly over time, depending on **dravya** (substance), **kshetra** (place), **kaal** (time), and **bhaav** (emotion).
The seven-day **vishramana** (rest) period for a sadhu before washing clothes is unimaginable today, and such circumstances no longer exist. For example, consider the rule regarding how many times a muni should go out for **bhiksha** (begging) in a day. The tradition until **Uttaraadhyaayana** states that a muni should go out for **bhiksha** in the third prahar of the day, as the muni was only allowed to eat once a day. The **Dashavaikalik Sutra**, which is a representative text on muni conduct, does not mention this. While it mentions "**egabhattam cha bhoyanam**" (eating once a day), it is possible that Muni Manak, the son of Shayambhav, who was very young at the time, may have established a different time for **bhiksha** for educational purposes as an exception. This could also be the reason why there is no mention of this in the **Dashavaikalik Sutra**.
Generally, a sadhu cannot eat at a householder's home. However, the statement mentioned in **Dashavaikalik 5/1/82, 83** suggests that a sadhu can eat in a place that is covered from above, enclosed on all sides, and suitable for eating, if they wish to do so while begging. It is a subject of historical research to understand why Acharya Shayambhav established this rule.
According to the **vyakhya** literature, a muni should not go out for **bhiksha** alone but with two other munis. The following **upsarg** (adverse circumstances) can arise for a muni who goes out alone: **stree janit upsarg** (adverse circumstances caused by women), **pasu janit upsarg** (adverse circumstances caused by animals).
