## [First Objective]
**[147 "Your clothes, utensils, etc. will be returned to you," by saying this, accepting something with the intention of returning it is called "Saakaraakrut" acceptance.** If the monk accepts it without saying "Saakaraakrut" and uses it, even if given by the householder, he is a participant in theft and is liable for atonement. The reason for this is that when going for Gochari, permission is only given for taking food, therefore, it is necessary to take separate permission explicitly for clothes, etc. The monk can only accept the items for which he has taken permission. He can take other items only with the prior permission of the Acharya, etc., if the householder asks him to take them or if the need is known. If he has taken permission for clothes, etc., then it is not necessary to take them "Saakaraakrut".
**The Sutra-pathit "Uvanimantejja" word is interpreted as "Up-samepe maagaty nimantrayet"** - meaning, the giver should say to the monk who has come for alms, "Please accept this cloth or utensil." Then the monk should ask him (especially the mistress of the house) - "Whose is this cloth, etc., and what is it like, i.e., where and why was it brought?" After getting a satisfactory answer to these two questions, he should ask a third question - "Why is it being given to me?" If the answer is, "You have very old clothes on your body, or your utensils look broken, therefore, it is being given to you out of a sense of duty or religious feeling," then he should take it "Saakaraakrut" (with the intention of returning it). If a satisfactory answer is not received, then he should not take it.
**The appointed person has explained the intention of asking these three things:** the first two questions reveal the nature of the object, and the third question reveals the giver's intentions. If the monk accepts the given cloth, etc., without asking, and the head of the household, brother-in-law, or other maidservant, etc., silently watches the giving and taking, then he may have many suspicions about the giver and the receiver, such as - "There seems to be some mutual attraction between this woman of our house and the monk, or she has no children, therefore, she wants some mantra, tantra, or medicine from the monk for the purpose of procreation." Overwhelmed by such various suspicions, he may slander, beat, etc., the woman, the monk, or both. If no one in the house has seen or heard anything like this, and the woman who gave the item wants some knowledge, mantra, etc., from the monk because she is childless, etc., then after taking the given item, she may go to the Upashraya and ask - "Tell me the remedy for the success of such and such work." Or, if the woman is a "proshita-bhartrika" (a woman whose husband is away) or lustful, or wants to fulfill her impure desires by going to the Upashraya, she may also say so. If she says so, the monk should answer regarding the mantra, etc., - "It is not our practice to use "nimitta" (mantra, etc.) for householders."
