**Or** - For one day, two days, or three days, he wanders with increasing intensity, and for ten months, he wanders with increasing intensity. This is the tenth image of the devotee.
**Original Meaning** - After this, the tenth image of the devotee is explained. The one who adopts this image has an interest in all matters of religion. He is endowed with all the aforementioned qualities. He also abandons the designated devotee. He shaves his head with a razor but definitely wears a tuft of hair. When someone calls him once or many times, he can only give two answers - if he knows, he says, "I know this," and if he doesn't know, he says, "I don't know this." Wandering with this kind of behavior, he wanders from the lowest point for one day, two days, or three days, and up to ten months with increasing intensity. This is the tenth image of the devotee.
**Commentary** - This sutra describes the subject of the tenth image. The person who adopts this image follows all the rules of the previous nine images without deviation. He also abandons the designated devotee, meaning he does not even accept food prepared for him. This means he completely rejects the practice of Savadya Yoga. He shaves his head with a razor but definitely wears a tuft of hair, which is a symbol of a householder. This statement proves that while it is necessary for a householder to keep a tuft of hair, it is not necessary to wear a sacred thread (Yajnopaveet or Jinopaveet). Because if it were necessary, the Sthavira would have definitely mentioned it. The rule for the holder of the tenth image is that when asked about something once or many times, he can only give two types of answers. If he knows the subject, he can say, "I know this," and if he doesn't know, he can say, "I don't know." This means that if a relative comes to him and asks, "Are there any valuables like money deposited in such and such a place? Do you know anything about them?" If he knows, he should say, "I know," and if he doesn't know, he should say, "I don't know." He should answer only with yes or no. He is not allowed to say anything more. The commentator also says the same thing in this regard...
