## Pindaniyukti: A Consideration
A monk may accept food under the following circumstances: if, after thieves have left, the monk returns the food to the owner, saying, "We accepted this food out of fear of the thieves. Now, please accept this back." If the owner happily agrees, the monk may then accept the food.
This is an example of **Anisrusht Dosha** (a transgression).
**Anisrusht Dosha** is when something is given by a master (owner) and is considered **Nisrushta** (released). If there are multiple owners, or if food is accepted without the permission of the owner, it is considered **Anisrusht Dosha**. Food obtained through **Anisrusht Dosha** is prohibited by the Tirthankaras.
The **Dashavaikalik Sutra** clearly states that if two owners are entitled to enjoy a particular food, and one of them invites the monk, the monk should not accept the offered food.
The **Churnikar** explains this by saying that even if one owner gives permission, the monk should try to understand the intentions of the other owner through their expressions, gestures, and facial expressions. If the other owner seems agreeable, the monk may accept the food even without their explicit permission.
Generally, there are two types of **Anisrusht Dosha**:
1. **Sadharan Anisrusht** (General Anisrusht)
2. **Cholluk Anisrusht** (Food-related Anisrusht)
The **Jitkalpabhashya** and **Pindavishuddhiprakaran** further divide **Anisrusht Dosha** into three types:
1. **Sadharan Anisrusht** (General Anisrusht)
2. **Cholluk Anisrusht** (Food-related Anisrusht)
3. **Jadd-Hasti Anisrusht** (Jadd-Hasti Anisrusht)
**Pindaniyukti** includes **Jadd-Hasti Anisrusht** under **Cholluk Anisrusht**.
**Sadharan Anisrusht**
**Sadharan Anisrusht** includes things like sweets, milk, oil presses, weddings, shops, and houses. There may be multiple owners of the items found in these places, so a monk should not accept them without the permission of the owner. The author explains **Sadharan Anisrusht** related to sweets through the story of Mani Bhadra and 32 other young men.
If a householder monk accepts **Sadharan Anisrusht**, the householder may punish him by making him a householder again and expelling him from the country.
