## Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
One should know the rules of food intake. The meaning is that one can only consume pure food that is free from 42 defects.
## Sixth Dasha
In this Sutra, the word "Puvvagamaneṇam" uses the third case in the sense of the seventh case, which means "before arrival". In the Ardha-Magadhi-Kosh, it is translated as "Purvagaman" in Sanskrit. The word "Puvvauutte (Purvayuktaḥ)" means "cooked before being known". "Bhilingsuv" refers to mung beans and other lentils. This word here generally refers to all kinds of lentils. Similarly, one should know about rice. They also refer to all kinds of food, drink, edibles, and tasty items here. The essence of the whole statement is that the Shramanopasak who has attained the Pratimā should consume food that is free from defects, like the Sadhus. These tenth and eleventh Pratimās are the Jain Vanaprastha forms. In fact, these are called Jain Vanaprastha.
Now the Sutrakar describes how the Shramanopasak should beg for alms when going for alms:
"Tass ṇam Gāhāvai - Kulāṁ Piṇḍavāy-Paḍiyāe Aṇuppaviṭṭhass Kappati Evam Vadditte "Samaṇovāsagass Paḍimā Paḍivannass Bhikkhaṁ Dalayha". Taṁ Ceva Eyārūveṇa Vihāreṇa Viharāmaṇe ṇam Kei Pāsittā Vadjjā "Kei Āuso Tumāṁ Vattavvaṁ Siyā", "Samaṇovāsae Paḍimā Paḍivaṇṇae Ahamaṁsīti" Vattavvaṁ Siyā. Se ṇam Eyārūveṇa Vihāreṇa Viharāmaṇe Jahantreṇa Egāhaṁ vā Duyāhaṁ vā Tiyāhaṁ vā Ukkō Seṇa Ekkāras Māse Viharejjā. Ekādasamā Uvā - Sag-Paḍimā ||11||
Eyāo Khalu Tāo Therehiṁ Bhagavantehiṁ Ekkāras Uvāsag-Paḍimāo Paṇṇattāo Tti Bemi.
