Atithi-Sanvibhag - respectfully giving a part of one's authorized material to uninvited restrained sadhaks or sadharmic bandhus, whose arrival date is not known, keeping such a feeling in mind always that such an opportunity should be obtained.
Titikshapurvak - the final death, Sanlekhana-tapascharya, the worship of Amaran Anashan, the renunciation of the body, is the culmination of the sadhana of this life of a Shravak, who keeps the feeling of a Grihi Sadhak.
The Bhagwan said, "Ayushman! This is the conduct-based Dharma of Grihi Sadhaks. While striving to follow this Dharma, Shramanopasak Shravak or Shramanopasika Shravika become followers of the commandments."
Then that vast assembly of humans, having heard the Dharma from Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira, holding it in their hearts, became very happy, experienced joy and delight in their minds, were filled with very gentle mental feelings, and with overflowing joy, rose up, rose up and circumambulated Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira three times, bowed and prostrated, and bowed and prostrated, and many of them renounced their household life, got their heads shaved, and became ordained as Anagar or Shraman. Many accepted the five Anuvratas and the seven Shikshavrata, a total of twelve types of Gahi-Dharma, Shravak-Dharma. The rest of the assembly bowed to Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira, prostrated, bowed and prostrated, and said, "Bhagavan! What you have said in a beautiful and well-spoken manner, explained in a well-understood and excellent way, presented in a well-spoken and heart-touching language, well-invested in well-behaved disciples, easily accepted by the residents, well-natured, filled with noble feelings, un-bound, sermon, Dharma-upadesh, is the best of the best. While explaining the Dharma, you have analyzed the suppression of anger, etc. While explaining suppression, you have explained the nature of renunciation of external impurities. While explaining renunciation, you have explained the nature of renunciation or cessation. While explaining cessation, you have discussed the non-performance of sinful actions. There is no other Shraman or Brahmin who can preach such Dharma. Where is the talk of a Dharma-upadesh better than this? Saying this, that assembly returned to the direction from which it had come. The king also returned.
