## Praayashchitt for guiding the path
28. Je bhikkhu annautthiyaan wa garatthiyaan wa natthaan, moodhaan, vippariyasiyaan maggam wa paveei, sandhi wa paveei, maggaao wa sandhi paveei, sandhiyo wa maggam paveei, paveent wa saijjai.
28. A bhikkhu who guides the path of other-worldly beings or householders who are lost, confused or have gone in the wrong direction, or who guides the junction of the path, or who guides the junction from the path, or who guides the path from the junction, or who approves of the one who guides, (incurs a laghu-chaturmasik praayashchitt).
## Vivechan
Shandhi - The place where multiple paths meet or the origin of multiple paths. Maggaao wa sandhi - To tell how far the junction is from the path and where it is. Sandhiyo wa magg - To tell the path to be taken from the junction, to tell its direction.
After guiding the path, the person may go elsewhere due to their own mistake, may be confused in understanding, or the path may seem long, difficult, robbers may come, lions may come, etc. Due to such reasons, various kinds of impure thoughts or wrong perceptions may arise towards the bhikkhu. If there is water, vegetation, or harmful creatures on the path, there may also be opposition to them.
## Praacha. Shru. 2, A. 3, U. 3
It is stated that if a householder asks a bhikkhu walking in the vihar, "How far is such and such village from here, or how far is the path to such and such village?", then the bhikkhu should not answer, but remain silent or ignore it and move on. Even if he knows, he should not say "I don't know" or "I know but I won't tell", he should simply remain silent with indifference.
The meaning of this rule in the Acharang Sutra is that if the bhikkhu makes a mistake in telling, or if the listener does not understand properly and gets confused, or if the householder gets lost on the path or takes longer on the path, or if it becomes midday or night, or if he becomes distressed due to hunger or thirst, etc., there is a possibility of many faults. Therefore, the bhikkhu should walk with discretion and indifference in such situations. If, due to circumstances or any other reason, he has to guide the path out of concern for the welfare of others, he should guide the path in a discreet language and accept the praayashchitt as prescribed in the sutras.
## Praayashchitt for telling about dhatu and nidhi
29. Je bhikkhu annautthiyaan wa garatthiyaan wa dhaun pavedei, pavetam wa saijjai. 30. Je bhikkhu annautthiyaan wa garatthiyaan wa nihim pavedei, pavedem wa saijjai.
