## Eighteenth Uddeshak]
[399
In crossing a water-way by boat, the **apkayik** beings have more **viraadhana** (violation) when there is a special reason, and the **kayik** beings have less **viraadhana**.
For other means of transport, the **vayukayik** beings have more **viraadhana**, the **tejaskaayik** beings have less **viraadhana**, and the remaining **kayik** beings have even less **viraadhana**. According to Uddeshak 12, Sutra 8, one obtains **prāyaścitta** (atonement) for these **jiva-viraadhana** (violations of living beings).
The **geetarth** (scriptural interpretation) determines the consumption of exceptions, their limits, and the **prāyaścitta**.
Using vehicles other than those mentioned in the **āgama** (scripture) and **vyākhyā** (commentary) is considered **akāraṇa** (without reason), therefore, the **prāyaścitta** for their **akāraṇa** use should be understood according to the first Sutra, and **prāyaścitta** is not obtained for **sākāraṇa** (with reason) vehicle use. This is also clear from the first Sutra.
However, the **prāyaścitta** for **gaveṣaṇā** (investigation) etc. faults and **viraadhana** related faults applies to both **sākāraṇa** and **akāraṇa** vehicle use. This is the meaning of these Sutras.
The detailed description of the rules and prohibitions related to boat travel and the **upsargajanaya** (adverse) situation has been given by the Sutrakar himself in **Prācā** (ancient) **śruti** (scripture) 2, **a** (chapter) 3, **u** (uddeshak) 1-2. Therefore, the meaning and word meanings should be known from there.
**Prāyaścitta** for faults related to clothing
33-73. If a **bhikkhu** buys clothes, has them bought, accepts clothes brought for a **sadhu**, or approves of the one who accepts them, etc., all the Sutras should be said according to the fourteenth **uddeshak** with the **vatthābhilāva** (desire for clothes), until the **bhikkhu** stays in **cāturmāsya** (four-month retreat) for clothes or approves of the one who stays.
The consumption of the fault-places mentioned in these Sutras results in **laghu-cāturmāsya** (short four-month retreat) **prāyaścitta**.
**Vivecana** (explanation) - These 41 Sutras related to clothing should be understood with wisdom in the same way as the 41 Sutras related to **pātra** (utensils) in the fourteenth **uddeshak**.
