[Nishiy Sutra]
4. Rajasabha - The fourth category of clothes refers to those worn when going to the king's court or to the king's presence.
If a monk wishes to accept any type of garment, he should inquire about the garment and ascertain that it is free from any origin-related defects, completely pure. Only after such inquiry should he accept it. Accepting it without inquiry can lead to various defects like establishment, acceptance, purchase, non-creation, etc. It can also lead to intentional or subsequent karma defects. Therefore, this Sutra states that if these four types of garments are obtained through begging or invitation, it is a sin not to inquire and investigate them. Therefore, the monk should carefully investigate the garment. The statement about the garment should be understood to include the need for investigation and atonement regarding other utensils, etc.
**Atonement for bodily care for adornment:**
99-152. A monk who, for the sake of adornment, washes his feet once or repeatedly, or approves of someone doing so, is subject to the atonement of the third Uddesaka (knowing the entire Alapaka from Sutra 16 to 69, or a monk who, while traveling from village to village for adornment, covers his head or approves of someone doing so, is subject to the atonement of the small Chaumasika).
**Discussion:** The discussion of these 54 Sutras should be understood to be similar to the third Uddesaka. The only difference is that here, performing these actions with the intention of adornment is considered a sin of the small Chaumasika.
**Atonement for wearing and washing utensils for adornment:**
153. A monk who, with the intention of adornment, holds a garment, a bowl, a blanket, a foot-cloth, or any other utensil, or approves of someone doing so, is subject to the atonement of the small Chaumasika.
154. A monk who, with the intention of adornment, washes a garment, a bowl, a blanket, a foot-cloth, or any other utensil, or approves of someone doing so, is subject to the atonement of the small Chaumasika.
If he serves such a person, he is subject to the atonement of the small Chaumasika, which includes the abandonment of the four-month retreat.
