Thirteenth Uddeshak]
The four-month penance has arrived. No penance has been mentioned for the disciple's transactions, nor for the Vaanchni transactions.
The first category is impure in its very form. Therefore, being of a form contrary to the Agamas, it is a highly guilty one.
The second category - they commit faults in the observance of Mahavrat, Samiti, and Guptis, and they engage in many subtle and gross corrupt tendencies related to conduct, therefore they are moderately guilty.
The third category - they are those who commit faults in a limited and general conduct and thoughts, therefore they are the least guilty. That is, someone only tells the auspicious time, someone only has attachment, someone only spends time in idle talk, someone keeps looking at scenic places. These four are not major faults, but general faults.

The head and eyes are the highest limbs. Feet, fingers, nails, are the lowest limbs. Just as the body's peace or samadhi is disturbed when the lowest limbs are injured, or even when a nail gets stuck in the foot, similarly, even general faults corrupt the restraint and samadhi.
Thus, those of all three categories are called शीतलविहारी (Shithilachari) due to their corrupt conduct, but those who stay away from these states and observe the pure restraint are called उद्यतविहारी (Udyatvihari) विहारी (Shuddhachari).
Shuddhachari - one who fully observes all the conduct mentioned in the Agamas. If, for some reason, they consume a fault as an exception, they accept its penance. When the reason is over, they abandon that tendency and adopt the pure form of the conduct mentioned in the Agamas, they are called 'Shuddhachari'.
Shithilachari - one who always conducts themselves contrary to the conduct mentioned in the Agamas, does not have the discernment of the state of Utsarga and exception, does not take penance for the contrary conduct, or adopts a form contrary to the conduct mentioned in the Agamas, they are called 'Shithilachari'.
Apart from the rules and prohibitions mentioned in the Agamas, it is not appropriate to consider someone as Shuddhachari or Shithilachari based on the observance or non-observance of any community's Samachari, which is formed from the perspective of area, time, etc. But those who live in a community must follow those rules according to the orders of that Sangha. If they do not follow them, they are eligible for penance.
Some rules of the prevalent Samachari, in addition to the Agamic rules:
Food.
1. Do not take processed roots and tubers, butter, food made the previous day, and biscuits, etc.
2. Do not combine raw yogurt and legumes, and do not eat such food
