## Pindanuyukti: An Observation
**139. "There is nothing."** The Sadhus said, "Shayyatar Bhiksha is not permissible for us." The householder said, "It would be inauspicious for the Sadhus to leave our house with empty bowls, therefore I will not provide lodging." The Sadhus explained and obtained lodging. Thus, obtaining lodging by accepting Shayyatar Pind can be rare.
The Panchashak Prakaran also presents the opinions of other Acharyas regarding the "faults of Shayyatar Pind" and the benefits of not accepting Shayyatar Pind.
**Exceptions:** Shayyatar Pind is permitted for eight reasons: 1. Anagadh or Agadh Glanktav 2. Invitation from Shayyatar 3. Insistence from Shayyatar 4. Rare substance 5. Ashiv 6. Unodari 7. Predvesh 8. Rajdviष्ट.
**Rajpind:** The ninth Uddeshak of Nishita is connected to many prohibitions related to Rajpind. The 22 Tirthankaras in between and the Tirthankaras of Mahavideha also prohibited Sadhus from accepting Rajpind food. Ashan, Pan, Khadim, Swadim, Vastra, Patra, Kambal, and Padapronchan - these eight types of items are called Rajpind if taken from the King's place. Acharya Haribhadra has described the faults of accepting Rajpind food. Detailed discussion on this topic is found in Brihatkalp Bhashya.
The Nishita Sutra mentions Chaturmasik Prayashchitta for the Muni who accepts and consumes Rajpind food. Accepting the delicious and heavy food prepared for the King can increase the desire for taste, therefore Rajpind is prohibited. Like Shayyatar Pind, Rajpind can also be accepted in special exceptions.
**Nityaagrapind:** Nityaagrapind means accepting invited Bhiksha daily from one house. The Dashavaikalik Sutra considers it a fault of Anachar and the Nishita Sutra considers the one who consumes Nityaagrapind as a participant in Prayashchitta. In Nishita, "Nitiy Aggapind" and "Nitiy Pind" words are used instead of Niyag.
