## Twentieth Uddeshak
[449] If an Anugara, while undergoing a two-month penance, commits a two-month penance-worthy offense due to purpose, motive, or cause, at the beginning, middle, or end of the penance period, then he incurs a penance of twenty nights of Aropaṇa, neither less nor more. Combining this with the previous penance, it becomes a penance of five months and ten nights of Prasthāpanā.
[29] If an Anugara, while undergoing a penance of five months and ten nights, commits a two-month penance-worthy offense due to purpose, motive, or cause, at the beginning, middle, or end of the penance period, then he incurs a penance of twenty nights of Aropaṇa, neither less nor more. Combining this with the previous penance, it becomes a penance of six months.
**Discussion:**
In the previous sutras, the establishment of a two-month penance place within the penance period was called Aropaṇa. The same is mentioned in these sutras as a separate method of carrying out the penance after it has been completed. The method of increasing Prasthāpanā-Aropaṇa is explained in a sequential manner.
This describes the consumption of a two-month penance place again while carrying out the previously obtained two-month penance, and its Anugraha Aropaṇa.
These sutras state that Anugraha Aropaṇa can occur repeatedly in the penance given sequentially through Prasthāpanā. However, it was stated in the previous six sutras that Anugraha Aropaṇa occurs only once in the established Aropaṇa penance.
The word "Teṇa Param" in the fifth, tenth, nineteenth, etc. sutras of this Uddeshak naturally has a contextually relevant meaning. However, it is not contextually relevant to interpret the word "Teṇa Param" directly in these sutras because this is Prasthāpitā Aropaṇa, and the penance days are added sequentially, totaling six months.
The Churnikara also explained the same, stating that the penance before and after is added sequentially here. Therefore, it is necessary to interpret the word "Teṇa Param" in these sutras as "combining which".
Perhaps, due to a scribal error, the text in these sutras became similar to the previous sutras, while its original form may have indicated the meaning mentioned above. Because the Churnikara has also interpreted this section in the same way.
**One-month penance and established Aropaṇa**
[30] If an Anugara, while undergoing a six-month penance, consumes a one-month penance place due to purpose, motive, or cause, at the beginning, middle, or end of the penance period, then he incurs a penance of one month of Aropaṇa, neither less nor more. Combining this with the previous penance, it becomes a penance of seven months.
[31] If an Anugara, while undergoing a five-month penance, consumes a one-month penance place due to purpose, motive, or cause, at the beginning, middle, or end of the penance period, then he incurs a penance of one month of Aropaṇa, neither less nor more. Combining this with the previous penance, it becomes a penance of six months.
