## Chapter 16
**Antakrid Dasha:** A monk who stays in an unfamiliar place for one or two nights, speaks four languages: (1) **Yachani** - begging for food, (2) **Pricchni** - asking for directions, (3) **Anugyanapni** - seeking permission for places, etc., (4) answering questions. He can stay in these places with the permission of the owner: (1) **Adha Aaramgriha** - a place surrounded by a garden, (2) **Adho Vikatgriha** - open on all sides, covered from above, (3) **Adho Vriksh ka Mool ya Vahaan par bana Sthan** - the root of a tree or a place built there. If someone sets fire to these places, the monk does not leave the place himself for the safety of his life. If a thorn gets stuck in his foot during Vihar, he does not remove it. If dust falls into his eyes, he does not remove it either. He stays where the sun sets. He does not use water except for bodily purification. If a violent creature comes in front of him during Vihar, he does not retreat in fear. If a creature is afraid of him, he moves aside. He does not use warm places, clothes, or similar things to avoid cold. He does not go to a cold place to avoid heat. By this method, the **Maasiki Pratima** is observed. Its duration is one month. This is how the special **Abhigha** of a Sadhu is called **Bhikshu Pratima**. The first is called **Maasiki**, the second **Dwaimasiki**, the third **Traimasiki**, the fourth **Chaturmasiki**, the fifth **Panchamasiki**, the sixth **Shanmasiki**, and the seventh **Saptamasiki**. In the first Pratima, one **Datti** of food and water is taken, in the second two, in the third three, in the fourth four, in the fifth five, in the sixth six, and in the seventh seven Dattis are taken. The eighth Pratima lasts for seven days and nights. The ninth also lasts for seven days and nights. In the eighth, **Chauihar** fasting is done. In the ninth, **Chauihar Bele-Bele Parana** is done. The duration is seven days. The tenth also lasts for seven days and nights. In this, **Chauihar Tele-Tele Parana** is done. The eleventh Pratima lasts for one day and night. The twelfth Pratima is only for one night. Its worship is done with **Chauihar Tele**. All these Pratiamas were worshipped by **Shri Gautam Muni Ji**.
**'Gunrayanan Pitavokamman'** means - **Gunratna Tapa Karma**. **Gunratna** is one type of **Tapa** among the various types of **Tapa**. It is also called **"Gun-Ratna-Samvatsar Tapa"**. This **Tapa** is completed in sixteen months. The **Tapa** in which the whole year is spent with **Gun** like **Ratnas** is called **"Gun-Ratna Samvatsar" Tapa**. This **Tapa** takes sixteen months. Out of which 407 days are for **Tapasya** and 73 days for **Parana**. As follows:
