a [Upasakadasangasutra] When the merchant went to the city, when he was at home, he returned. Upon returning, he told his wife Sivananada, "Devanupriya! I have heard the Dharma from the Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira. That Dharma is dear to me, very dear to me, and pleasing to me. Devanupriya! You go to Bhagavan Mahavira, pay your respects to him, (offer salutations, honor him, respect him, he is auspicious, he is prosperous, he is a Deva, he is the embodiment of knowledge), perform Paryupasana, and accept the twelve types of householder Dharma, which are the five Anuvratas and the seven Shikshavrata."
Then Anand, the head of the family, accepted the twelve types of Shravaka-Dharma, which are the five Anuvratas and the seven Shikshavrata, from Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira. After accepting, he bowed to Bhagavan Mahavira and said to him, "Bhagavan! From today onwards, I will not pay respects to, offer salutations to, or engage in conversation with men associated with other Sanghas, other than the Anyayuthika-Nirgrantha Dharma-Sangha, their Devas, or the Chaityas they have adopted and accepted. I will not offer them food, drink, or other edible items, such as rice, bread, milk, fruits, nuts, or sweets. I will not offer them anything that is meant for the mouth, such as betel nut or mouthwash. This is not permissible for me, according to Dharma. This is not something I will do. However, I will make exceptions for the orders or requests of kings, communities, or specific democratic governments, for the sake of my livelihood, or in the face of danger.
It is permissible for me to offer Shramans and Nirgranthas food, drink, edible items, clothing, bowls, blankets, foot-cloths, mats, beds, lodging, grass for bedding, herbs, and medicines. This is something I will do.
Anand accepted this vow of non-attachment. He then asked Bhagavan questions. After asking his questions, he received their meaning and explanation. After receiving the explanation, he bowed to Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira three times. After bowing, he left from there, from the Chaitya called Duutipalasha. He went to the city of Vanijyagram, where his home was. Upon arriving, he told his wife Sivananada, "Devanupriya! I have heard the Dharma from Shraman Bhagavan. That Dharma is dear to me, very dear to me, and pleasing to me. Devanupriya! You go to Bhagavan Mahavira, pay your respects to him, (offer salutations, honor him, respect him, he is auspicious, he is prosperous, he is a Deva, he is the embodiment of knowledge), perform Paryupasana, and accept the twelve types of householder Dharma, which are the five Anuvratas and the seven Shikshavrata."
