This Sutra mentions 12 out of the 16 places like villages, etc. The place "Pragar" is mentioned in the next Sutra. Thus, a total of 13 places are mentioned here. The remaining 13th, 14th, and 15th places are mentioned in the Brihatkalpa Sutra Uddeshak? Sutra 6.
The Nishith Bhashya does not explicitly mention or explain these words. The Churnikar has explained them. The verses of the Brihatkalpa Bhashya explain these words. There are 16 words explained there, and the original text also has 16 words. The explanation (in the Bhashya) mentions one name more than the other. The name "Sankaro" is a little bit of a village, a hunting ground, and an ashram.
The original texts of different Sutras have different orders of these words. There are 16 names in many places and 12 names in many places. Of these, the numbers 13-14-15 are definitely less, and one of the three, Agar, Nigam, and Ashram, is less. The reason for this is unknown.
In the Bhashya and commentary of Brihatkalpa Uddeshak? Sutra 6, the order of "Rajdhani" is tenth, and the total number of names is 16. In the subsequent Sutras 7-8-9, the text "Gamansin va jav Rayhanisin va" is found to be the same in all copies.
If we want to have the same text everywhere, then considering the antiquity of the Brihatkalpa Bhashya and according to its text, and keeping the word "Rajdhani" at the end, if we accept 16 words, then there is no possibility of any contradiction. The order of these 16 should be as follows:
1. Gram 2. Nagar 3. Khed 4. Karbat 5. Madamb 6. Pattana 7. Agar 8. Dronamukha 9. Nigam 10. Ashram 11. Sannivesh 12. Sambadh 13. Ghosh 14. Anshika 15. Putbhadan 16. Rajdhani.
In the present Sutra, only 15 names are appropriate except "Agar", because there are many types of "Pagar" mentioned in the Sutra ahead.
There should be 16 words in the Vyavaharsutra, Brihatkalpa Sutra, Nishith Sutra, and Acharang, and the short text should have "Gamansin va jav Rayhanisin va" everywhere. In some places, the short text "Gamansin va jav Sannivesansin va" is also found. There should be uniformity in such short texts. The students of Agam should pay attention to this. This will eliminate the alternatives of different numbers.
"Navag-Nivesansin" - Sadhus and Sadhvis should not enter newly settled villages, etc., for some days. Because both auspicious and inauspicious omens are obstacles in the practice of Sadhus. In case of inauspicious omens, it can be a cause of hindrance for other Sadhus. Therefore, one should not go to stay in such places and should not even go for Gochari, etc. The atonement for entering a newly built mine
32. If a monk enters "Navag-Nivesansin", Ayagarsin va, Tambagarsin va, Tauyagarsin va, Sisagarsin va, Hirannagarsin va, Suvannagarsin va, Vairagarsin va, and eats food, drink, or takes something, he is guilty.
