**[Nishiya Sutra]**
**"Paheṇam"** - 1. Food, etc., sent as a gift to another's house. 2. Food, etc., sent as a gift from the groom's house to the bride's house. 3. Food, etc., sent as a gift by someone other than the groom and bride.
**"Hingolan"** - Funeral feast, Shraddha bhojan, etc.
**"Sammelan"** - 1. Food related to a wedding. 2. Goṣṭhībhojan - Food of a group. 3. Food offered at the beginning of any work.
If a monk sees food being carried around during these occasions and knows that a particular householder is hosting a special meal, and due to the desire to partake in that food, leaves the householder's house and goes to stay at someone else's house for the night (on the day before the meal), with the thought that he cannot partake in the householder's food while staying in that house, then he incurs the atonement mentioned in the sutra.
The householder may also insist on the monk staying due to devotion, or the monk may decide to do so on his own. In both situations, if he leaves with the intention of partaking in that food, the atonement mentioned in the sutra applies.
Such actions may lead to attachment to food, public criticism, or other faults related to the body.
The commentator has explained that even if the food is at the house of someone other than the householder, the atonement for changing houses applies according to this sutra. For example, if a devout person is hosting a meal and the location is far away, one can stay overnight closer to that location. In this way, the atonement for changing location should be understood as a Guruchaumasi, in comparison to the householder's food or other food.
**Atonement for partaking in Naivedya food**
**80-J** A monk who partakes in Naivedya pinda, or approves of someone who partakes in it, incurs the atonement of Guruchaumasi.
**Discussion:**
The pinda offered to the Arihantpakshika Devatas like Purnabhadra Mani Bhadra, etc., is called "Naivedya pinda". There are two types of Naivedya pinda:
1. **Nishrakrit:** 1. Offered with the intention of giving it to the monk. This means the Naivedya pinda is made without any mixed-caste impurities. 2. Offered before or after the designated day with the intention of giving it to the monk. 3. The Naivedya pinda is prepared and kept aside for the monk. All these are Nishrakrit Naivedya pinda.
2. **Anishrakrit:** This is not offered with the intention of giving it to the monk.
