## Pinḍaniryukti: An Observation
**55**
A muni who is free from negligence in thought, speech, and action does not acquire bondage, even though he may be creating it. This is explained in the Mulacara through the example of fish: just as fish become intoxicated when a narcotic substance is put into a lake, but frogs do not, similarly, a muni who takes food prepared by a householder with pure intention does not become entangled in demerit.
How can parakṛta karma be the cause of bondage? This is explained in the Jītakalpabhāṣya through an example: just as poison used by another is deadly for another, similarly, parakṛta action also becomes the cause of bondage for a jīva due to a particular intention.
**What is the ādhākarma for whom the food is prepared?**
The third gate related to ādhākarma is "kass" - that is, for whom the food is prepared is called ādhākarma. Explaining this, the Niyuktikāra says that, as a rule, food prepared for a sādharmika is called ādhākarma.

If his resolution is that he will feed all sādhūs named Devadatta, then in this mixed resolution, that food is not appropriate for a sādhū named Devadatta, but it is appropriate for all sādhūs with different names, such as Chaitra, etc. If the householder's resolution is that he will feed all sādhūs named Devadatta who are of other darshanas, then in this resolution, it is appropriate for the sādhū to take that food. If the householder has resolved for all śramaṇas, then this resolution is mixed, and even a nirgrantha sādhū is included in it, so that food is not appropriate for the sādhū. If the resolution is that he will feed all śramaṇas except nirgrantha sādhūs, then that food is appropriate for the sādhū. According to the tīkākara, if the tīrthankara and...
