[59 57. The monk who does not perform the *pratilekhana* of even a small *upadhi*, or approves of one who does not, receives the *laghu-masik* penance.
57. The monk who does not perform the *pratilekhana* of even a small *upadhi*, or approves of one who does not, receives the *laghu-masik* penance. (He receives the *laghu-masik* penance.)
Discussion- It is necessary for the *sadhu* to perform the *pratilekhana* of all his instruments at both times. If he neglects the *pratilekhana* of even a small instrument, he receives the *laghu-masik* penance.
The *chunikar* has said that there are many faults in not performing the *pratilekhana*, such as harming living beings and self-harm from scorpions, etc.
From these faults, one should avoid all of them.
According to the *bhashya* (verse 1436), the monk should perform the *pratilekhana* of all instruments at both times.
The *bhashyakar* has said that the time for *pratilekhana* for the *jinkalpi* is after sunrise, but the *sthavirakalpi* can perform the *pratilekhana* some time before sunrise.
In *gatha* 1425, it is said that the following ten types of *upadhis* can be performed before sunrise:
*Muhpotti*, *rajoharana*, three *chaddar*, two *nisadya*, *cholpatta*, *santhara*, and *uttarpatta*. When the *pratilekhana* of these ten is done, the sun rises.
In the *chuni*, it is said, "Others say" that the eleventh is 'danda'.
It is possible that this *gatha* was taken from a text like the *Dharmaprajnapti*, which was composed after the thirteenth century.
Because in the *Uttaradhyayanasutra* (study 26, verses 8 and 21), there is a clear provision for performing the *pratilekhana* at sunrise, and before the above *gatha* 1425, the *bhashyakar* himself has said in two *gatha*s that the *pratilekhana* cannot be done at night. Those *gatha*s are:
*Pratilekhana*, *papphodana*, and *pamajjan* are done during the day. *Papphodana* and *pamajjan* are done at night, but *pratilekhana* is not done. (1422)
*Pratilekhana*, *pamajjan*, and *payadiya* are done during the day.
*Pamajjan* is done at night, but *pratilekhana* is not done. (1423)
*Rao*, *papphodana*, and *pamajjan* are possible at night, but *pratilekhana* is not possible because it is not visible.
