## The Second Fault
This section discusses the second fault, "Pramityakam," which refers to accepting offerings from a householder who has borrowed the item from another householder. This is considered inappropriate for a muni (Jain monk) as it can lead to various negative consequences.
There are two aspects to this fault: worldly and transcendental. The worldly aspect relates to transactions between householders, while the transcendental aspect concerns interactions between monks.
For example, if a monk accepts an item from another monk with the promise of returning it later or providing a similar item in the future, it can lead to several problems. Firstly, the borrowed item might get damaged, torn, or stolen, causing conflict between the monks. Secondly, the monk who received the item might not be satisfied with the replacement, leading to discord. Therefore, monks should avoid such actions.
## The Third Fault
The third fault is "Acchhinnam," which means accepting an item that has been taken from someone else. This is also considered inappropriate for a muni as it can lead to various negative consequences.
There are three categories of this fault: related to the owner, related to the master, and related to the thief.
The difference between an owner and a master is that the owner refers to the leader of a village, while the master refers to the owner of a house. Accepting items taken from these individuals or from a thief can lead to various negative consequences like dislike, conflict, and obstacles. Therefore, monks should avoid accepting such items.
## General Items
It is also inappropriate for a muni to accept general items without the consent of everyone involved. This applies to both individual requests and requests from multiple individuals. Accepting such items without universal consent can lead to conflict and harm the monk's self-control and discipline.
For example, if someone sells items belonging to a group of individuals and offers some of them to a monk out of devotion, accepting these items can lead to problems if the group finds out. This could even have serious consequences for the monk or the seller. Therefore, monks should avoid accepting such items.
