73/18. In the first division, monks with similar conduct but different vows come. In the second division, monks with similar vows but different conduct come, including Nihnvas, Shravakas, and monks. (Here, the food prepared for Shravakas and Nihnvas is considered acceptable.) Similarly, one should understand the four divisions of conduct and emotions. Now I will speak of the four divisions related to vows and emotions. 73/19. In these two divisions, monks, Shravakas, and Nihnvas are included, where vows are similar but emotions are different, and emotions are similar but vows are different. Food prepared for the common knowledgeable person is not considered acceptable for other monks. Food prepared for the Tirthankara and the Pratyekabuddha is considered acceptable for other monks. 73/20. Similarly, there are four divisions of Darshan (vision) etc. with Ling (gender). In the first three divisions, it is acceptable, but the last division should be avoided. 73/21. One should plan the options (based on Darshan, Gyan, Charitra, Abhigha, and Bhavana) according to the Kshayik (temporary) emotions etc. of each Pratyekabuddha, Nihnva, Upasaka, Kevali, and other monks. 73/22. Where the third division is similar in terms of preaching and Ling, food is not considered acceptable for the monk. (In this option, all monks except the Pratyekabuddha and Tirthankaras are included.) In the remaining three divisions, it is acceptable sometimes, sometimes not. Food prepared for the Tirthankara and Kevali is considered acceptable. Food and water prepared for other monks is not considered acceptable. 74. When asked by the disciple about the nature of Adhakarma, the Acharya explains the components of Adhakarma, such as food and drink, to explain its nature. 75. Food includes rice etc., drink includes water from wells etc., Khadim includes fruits etc., and Swadim includes ginger etc. Based on the concepts of "Krit" (prepared) and "Nishthit" (established), there are four divisions: pure and impure.
The commentator has also explained the last two divisions (see Mavri p. 61). 2. Deities create Samavasaran etc. for the Tirthankara, and monks go there to listen to the Dharma-Deshana. Similarly, the food prepared for the Tirthankara is also considered acceptable for the monks. The Tirthankara and Pratyekabuddha have risen above all Kalpas (time periods), perhaps this is why this rule is established. (Mavri p. 61) According to Bribha, the Tirthankara is not similar to anyone, therefore, the food prepared for them is considered acceptable for the monks (Bribha 1782, T p. 526). 3, 4. While explaining why the words Tirthankara and Kevali are used in the verse, the commentator says that the Tirthankara's attainment of Kevalgyan becomes known to everyone, but it is not necessary for everyone to know about the Kevali's Kevalya, therefore, both Tirthankara and Kevali are considered separately. The word "Tirthankara" also includes the Pratyekabuddha by implication. (Mavri p. 62) The words Nihnva and Upasaka are used in the Jitakalp Bhashya (Jibha 1145). 5, 6.
