## First Objective
**27.** A monk who asks for a needle suitable for returning, saying "I will sew clothes," and then sews a robe with it or approves of someone else sewing a robe with it.
**28.** A monk who asks for a cutter suitable for returning, saying "I will cut clothes," and then cuts a robe with it or approves of someone else cutting a robe with it.
**29.** A monk who asks for a nail cutter suitable for returning, saying "I will cut nails," and then uses it to cut nails or approves of someone else using it to cut nails.
**30.** A monk who asks for an ear cleaner suitable for returning, saying "I will clean my ears," and then uses it to clean teeth or nails or approves of someone else using it to clean teeth or nails. (He incurs the monthly penance for a guru.)
**Discussion:** The term "Padihariya" is used in the scriptures for an object suitable for returning. When receiving a needle, etc., suitable for returning, one should not specify a particular task.
If a needle, etc., is received with a specific task in mind, it should not be used for any other purpose.
Using it for another purpose would violate the second and third great vows. If this is known, the householder will lose faith in the monk or the monastic community, will criticize them, and there is a possibility of not receiving necessary tools in the future.
**Mutual Giving Penance**
**31.** A monk who asks for a needle for his own use and then gives it to another monk or approves of someone else giving it to another monk.
**32.** A monk who asks for a toothpick for his own use and then gives it to another monk or approves of someone else giving it to another monk.
**33.** A monk who asks for a nail cutter for his own use and then gives it to another monk or approves of someone else giving it to another monk.
**34.** A monk who asks for an ear cleaner for his own use and then gives it to another monk or approves of someone else giving it to another monk.| SR No. | 003462 |
