## Seventh Chapter
**With Hindi Commentary**
**2753**
If he walks or stands, he should not walk or stand. There, if a sound or a voice arises, he should not hear the sound or the voice. He should place the sound or the voice on the previously written ground, and he should stay in the same place. Thus, this first seven-night-day monk-image should be followed as long as the order is followed. ||8||
**Commentary:**
The first seven-night-day monk-image is for the one who has renounced the world and whose body is always free from attachment. He should follow all the rules that have been previously stated. He should endure all hardships. But he should not perform the fourth vow of non-violence by abstaining from water, and he should not stay outside the village or in the capital city, lying on his back, on his side, or sitting in a meditative posture. If there are divine beings, human beings, or animals who come to him, he should not move or fall. There, if a sound or a voice arises, he should not hear the sound or the voice. He should place the sound or the voice on the previously written ground, and he should stay in the same place. Thus, this first seven-night-day monk-image should be followed as long as the order is followed. ||8||
