The 'Pajjosavaṇakappa' section of the Nishīthasūtra Kālika Daśāśruta Skandha Sūtra is forbidden to be recited to householders. Yet, it has been combined with the Uttkālika (Chulla) Kalpasūtra, etc., and a new Kalpasūtra compilation has been made and recited in the afternoon (Uttkāla) in front of householders.
This study is currently in a distorted state. Its originality, as well as the pure tradition associated with it, has been severed. As a result, the meaning and penance tradition of this Prāyaścitta Sūtra 40 has also been almost severed.
Penance for accepting clothes during the rainy season
41. If a monk accepts clothes after the beginning of the Chaturmas period, or approves of someone who does so, he incurs the Guru Chaturmas penance.
The use of these 41 Sūtra-stated places incurs the Guru Chaturmas penance.
Discussion - The terms 'Prathama Samavasarana' and 'Dvitiya Samavasarana' are used in the Āgama for the Chaturmas period and the seasonal period, respectively. The arrival of a monk in a village, etc., is called Samavasarita. That arrival is of two types - arrival for the seasonal period and arrival for the Chaturmas period. This period of arrival is called 'Samavasarana'. It has two divisions, hence the terms Prathama and Dvitiya Samavasarana are etymologically correct.
In the Brihatkalpasutra Uddesaka 3, Sūtra 16, there is a prohibition against accepting clothes during Chaturmas, and this Sūtra states the penance for it.
The word 'Pattai' is in the Sūtra. Both commentators have interpreted it as 'Prāptāni' and created 'Patt' 'Apatt' areas and time violations.
The word 'Pattai' also has the meaning of 'vessel', but according to the structure of the Sūtra, the meaning 'Prāptāni' is appropriate. Because if there are two things to be stated, the Āgamakar uses the word 'vā', for example - 'Vatttham vā Padiggham vā'.
Therefore, this Sūtra only mentions clothes, yet the commentators have prohibited the acceptance of all equipment during Chaturmas, and have also clarified which and how many additional and necessary items should be accepted before Chaturmas.
Summary Sūtra 1-4 of the Uddesaka - Speak harsh, rough, or both words to the Acharya or Ratnaadhika Shraman, and make any kind of request.
