**Discussion:** - These nine sutras mention 46 places. Some of these places are individual and some are public. These places also have owners or protectors. It is completely forbidden to abandon excrement in such places. Therefore, abandoning excrement in such places causes a fault in the third mahavrata of the monk, and if the monk is aware of it, it also leads to the condemnation of all monks and the sangha. There can also be many types of rude behavior.
**Civility and foolishness are revealed when someone is angered, along with the behavior of the monk.**
Therefore, a monk should not abandon excrement in the places mentioned in the sutras.
If any of these public places have become places for people to abandon excrement, then there is no pratyachitta for a monk to abandon excrement in that place in a proper manner.
If the owner of any individual place has given permission to the monks to abandon excrement in it, then the monk can abandon excrement in a suitable place devoid of living beings, with discretion. There is no pratyachitta mentioned in the sutras for abandoning excrement in that place, which has been granted permission.
In the third uddeshak, there is also mention of pratyachitta related to abandoning excrement in many places. The pratyachitta mentioned there is also in the same spirit.
In such places, although the words "uccar" and "prasravan" are used to indicate excrement,
