“Ahakammamiti-Adhanam-Adha-Sadhunimittam Chetasah Pranidhanam-Yatha-Amuksya Sadhukrite Maya Bhojyaadi Pacaniyamiti, Adhayaah Karma-Pakaadi-Kriyaa-Adha-Karma” Ityadi.
Eating such food destroys the feelings of compassion; because there is no compassion for the living beings whose bodies are eaten.
- Eating Adha-Karma food also violates the first great vow, because eating Adha-Karma food, the three karmas and three yogas are abandoned (left behind), and the vow of non-violence cannot be followed. If a muni eats food made in this way, he will bind the natures of the seven and eight karmas and wander in the cycle of existence. Therefore, a muni should never eat Adha-Karma food.
Now the sutrakar describes the fifth shabala related to Raj-Pind:
Ray-Pindam Bhumjamane Sabale. || 5 || Raj-Pindam Bhujanah Shabala. || 5 || Padarthanvaya-Ray-Pindam-Raj-Pind Bhumjamane-Bhogate Hue Sabale-Shabala Dosha Lagta
Mularth-Eating the food of a king, the Shabala dosha arises.
Tika-This sutra states that a (Jain) sadhu should never take food from the house of a non-Jain king; especially those who have been crowned according to the proper rituals
and who are adorned with signs like a sword, umbrella, crown, and hair ornaments, because this can lead to many faults. For example: 1-Non-Jain kings do not consider what is edible and inedible in their food, 2-Strong food is arousing and therefore not suitable for sadhus, 3-Going to the royal court repeatedly creates various doubts in the minds of the people, 4-It is very likely that someone will consider the arrival of the sadhu inauspicious and cause harm to his body or break his utensils, and 5-It is also possible that someone will consider the sadhu a thief or a spy and cause him harm. All these actions mentioned above and other similar actions can lead to a decline in Jain governance, therefore Rajpind is completely to be avoided.
