## The Scattering of Eager Refusal

The mind of the disciple was calmed. Then the householder thought, "There are four breaks for the monks, as follows: 1. Food taken at night should be eaten at night. 2. Food taken at night should be eaten during the day. 3. Food taken during the day should be eaten at night. 4. Food taken during the day should be eaten during the day. Of these breaks, the last one is permissible, the other three are not. Sometimes, due to greed, one might eat, and then there will be a loss of merit. Gradually, there will be a destruction of the root merit as well. Thus, there will be great loss. Nighttime food is contaminated with endless faults. Even though this is the meaning of the scripture, it does not occur to his mind now. Now, I will do such a thing that will bring great merit by determining the time."

Thinking thus, and with proper humility, he said, "Master! Today, I am very fortunate that you, the moving Kalpa tree, the teacher, have come to my house after receiving the two-fold teachings. Before, all the humans, like the lotus, etc., have seen your virtuous form. You are blessed, content, and your conduct is like nectar. Your feet are worthy of worship. I am deluded, attached to the pleasures of the senses, and attached to my son and wife. I am unable to describe your good qualities in a single breath. Even though I am like this, you have shown great kindness by staying here. Now, please answer one question. Every morning, when I see two or three stars in the sky, I refuse to do the salutations, etc. Today, I refused before the sunrise. Is it complete or not?"

Then the monk, using the knowledge of Shrutadatta, observed the constellation. He saw that two yamas had passed, and it was midnight. He said, "In the twenty-sixth chapter of the Uttaraadhyayana, it is said:

* **"First, one should be attentive, then one should meditate. Then, one should be free from sleep. In the fourth part, one should be attentive again."**

* **"One should not go to sleep at night, when the constellation is in the fourth part. One should stop and be attentive during the evening time."**

* **"When the night ends, when the constellation sets in the day, in the field, in the constellation, it becomes night. That constellation is usually the fourteenth from the sun's constellation, say the elders. When the constellation reaches the fourth part of the sky, one should stop and return from one's studies, at the time of the evening, at the beginning of the night."**

Knowing this, I am deluded. I have acted improperly. Alas, the life of one who is overcome by greed! Oh, disciple! You are knowledgeable in the Jain teachings! You are blessed, you have done good deeds. You have saved me from drowning in the world by asking me about the refusal before the sunrise. Your advice is true. You are my spiritual guide, because you have shown me the right path. Your intelligence and patience are beyond words."

Thus, he criticized himself and praised the monk. Knowing that it was night, he would be committing a sin if he left. Then, he asked for the way to his house, and he stayed there in solitude, meditating. In the morning, to fulfill his vow of not eating before sunrise, he went to a clean, flat ground, and he began to crush the sweetmeats according to the rules. He thought, "Just as the fire of the parrot's meditation burns the fuel of karma, so too, I will burn all the karmas in a moment and become a knower
