## Nishītha Sutra
[52] If someone gives a gift without showing the remaining offering to the monks present in the nearby monastery and without telling them about its use, then they incur a minor monthly atonement.
The Sutra uses three adjectives: sāmbhogika, etc., but sāmbhogika is the most prominent. Therefore, if there is a prasāmbhogika monk nearby, then giving food, etc., as a gift without inviting them does not incur the atonement mentioned in the Sutra.
## Shayyaatar Pind Atonement
[46-47] A monk who accepts a Shayyaatar Pind or approves of someone who accepts it, or a monk who consumes a Shayyaatar Pind or approves of someone who consumes it, incurs a minor monthly atonement.
**Discussion:** The Āgamas and the commentary texts emphasize the prohibition of Shayyaatar Pind due to the possibility of many faults. Here, to highlight this, atonement is prescribed in these two Sutras, and its form is described in a total of four Sutras (46-49). It is also mentioned in the fifth section of the Thānāṅgasūtra, in the collected sayings of the Guru Atonement section.
There are five synonyms for Shayyaadāta, due to differences in meaning or usage: 1. Sāgārik, 2. Shayyaakar, 3. Shayyaadāta, 4. Shayyaadhar, 5. Shayyaatar.
The word "Sāgārik" is used in the present Sutra. Other Āgamas also use the words Shayyaatar and Sāgārik.
The commentary elaborates on this topic by dividing it into nine doors, a brief introduction of which is as follows:
1. **Who is a Shayyaatar?**
"The Lord and those associated with the Lord are Shayyaatar." This is also stated in the Ācārāṅgasūtra: "Je tattha īsare je tattha samahiṭṭhāe" - one should stay with the permission of the owner of the house or the one who has authority over the house, i.e., the administrator.
The Bṛhatkalpasūtra, verse 2, states that there can be many owners and many administrators. One should consider the one who gives permission as Shayyaatar and not accept their belongings as Shayyaatar Pind. Offerings, etc., can be taken from other administrators or owners.
2. **Shayyaatar Pind is of 12 types:**
1. Asan (food), 2. Pān (betel leaf), 3. Khādy (edible), 4. Svādy (tasty), 5. Vastr (clothes), 6. Pātr (vessel), 7. Kamba (blanket), 8. Rajoharan (dustpan), 9. Sūī (needle), 10. Kataraṇī (scissors), 11. Nakhaccheda (nail cutter), 12. Karṇaśodhan (ear cleaner). Here, medicine and remedies are not considered separately.
