210/2. This world is worshiped and worshiper. A person who gives charity without any desire to a miser, sorrowful, friendless, diseased, and lame person, takes away the flag of charity, that is, takes the flag of charity in his hand. (It is a fault to say this in front of miserly devotees, etc.) 210/3. Generally, people give charity to their benefactors, acquaintances, and dependents, but the person who gives charity to a weary traveler on the road, that is true charity. (It is a fault to say this in front of guest devotees, etc.) 210/4. Cows, bulls, etc., easily get food like grass, etc., but dogs, who are despised with disgust, do not easily get food. 210/5. These dogs are special deities of Mount Kailash. On earth, they roam in the form of Yakshas. Their worship is beneficial and non-worship is harmful. (It is a fault to say this in front of dog devotees, etc.) 211. This Muni has understood my feeling that Brahmins, etc., are worthy of salutation in the world. There are two faults in the fault of each of the above subjects, namely, Bhadraka and Prant, etc. (If a person is Bhadraka, then he rewards the Muni with half-karma by listening to words of praise, and if he is Prant, then he throws the Muni out of the house.) 212. Similarly, 'Kak', etc., are also accepted by the acceptance of the dog. Whoever is attached to (the worship of Kak, etc.), he presents himself as his devotee by praising him when asked or without being asked. 213. It is also a fault to say, "Charity given to a worthy or unworthy person is not in vain," so it is a great fault to praise unworthy charity. 214. There are three types of treatment by a Sadhu when asked by a householder:
* I am not a physician. (From this sentence, he understands that he should go to a physician.)
* He speaks of the action of pacifying his own disease.
* Or he treats himself as a physician. 214/1. When going for alms, a sick Muni asks a sick person for relief from his illness. The Muni says, "Am I a physician?" Knowing this objection, the patient understands that he should go to a physician. This is the first type of treatment. 214/2. When asked by the patient, the Muni says, "I was also suffering from this pain or disease. I was cured of the disease by such and such medicine. We Munis cure spontaneously arising diseases by the penance of oil, etc." This is the second type of treatment.
