## Pindaniyukti
If food is brought once and kept for the evening, it can also be a reason for reluctance to eat cold food, therefore, it is permissible for a Bele tapasvi to go for alms twice.
If the fasting person goes for alms for the third time, he gets Laghumas (Purimardh), for the fourth time, Guru-mas (Ekasana), for the fifth time, Charlagghu (Ayambil), for the sixth time, Charguru (Upvas), for the seventh time, Chalagghu, for the eighth time, Chhaguru, for the ninth time, Chhed, for the tenth time, Mul, for the eleventh time, Anvasthapy, and for the twelfth time, Paranchik Prayashchitta. Similarly, for a Bele, going for alms for the twelfth time is a provision for Paranchik Prayashchitta. For an Ashtamabhaktik-Tele, going for alms from the fourth time to the thirteenth time results in Paranchik Prayashchitta.

According to the Digambar tradition, the middle time between three ghadi after sunrise and three ghadi before sunset is the time for food for a Muni. Eating in three Muhurtas during the middle time is excellent, two Muhurtas is moderate, and one Muhurta is inferior. Eating in one Muhurta is excellent conduct, two Muhurtas is moderate conduct, and eating in three Muhurtas is inferior conduct.

Among the five Samitis, the Samiti related to Bhikchacharya is called Eshana. Jain Acharyas have given great importance to pure Bhikcha Vritti. Vrat, Sheel, etc. qualities are based on the purity of Bhikchacharya or Eshana. In the Bhashya literature, it is mentioned that where there are faults of Eshana like Karma, etc., the Sadhu should not go for alms. Unawareness in Eshana is the twentieth Asamadhi Sthan. Explaining this, the commentator Abhaydevsuri says that one who is not suitable in Eshana is inclined towards violence. When other Munis warn him, he becomes involved in conflict, remaining in Asamadhi himself and becoming the cause of Asamadhi for others. According to Acharya Battke, those who wander after purifying their Bhikcha, Vachan, and Hriday, are called well-established Sadhus in the Jinashasana. Acharya Kundkund has even said that a Muni who practices pure Bhikcha Eshana is an Anahari even while eating. The Uttaradhyayanasutra clearly states that one who is Auddeshik, Krit
