Vacchachippak, 5. Mujchippak / Discussion: That by which dust etc. material-dust and karma-malरूप भाव-रज are removed is called 'Rajoharan'. Dravyarajoharan-While walking, the dust that sticks to the feet or the dust that comes into the house is removed by sweeping, hence it is 'Dravyarajoharan'. Bhavarajoharan-Insects etc. that have climbed on the ground, body or clothes-bed etc. can be removed from Rajoharan without causing them any harm, hence it is 'Bhavarajoharan' as it is a means of protecting life. This Rajoharan is of five types: 1. Aunik-That which is made from the wool of sheep etc. is 'Paunik' / 2. Paustrik -That which is made from the hair of a camel is 'Paustrik'. 3. Shanak- That which is made from the bark of flax is 'Shanak'. 4. Vacchachippak Vaccha means grass or straw, the Rajoharan made by pounding it and removing the rough parts is called 'Vacchachippak' / / 5. Mujchippak-The Rajoharan made by pounding Munja and removing its hard parts is called 'Mujchippak'. In Sthananga A. 5, U. 3, these five types of Rajoharan are also mentioned. Of these five, the earlier ones are softer and the later ones are rougher / Therefore, being the softest, Aunik Rajoharan is considered the most suitable or best. In its absence, the commentator has clearly instructed the use of Austrik and in its absence, Shanak Rajoharan. If all three types of Rajoharans are not available in a particular country, then in such a situation, it is the rule to accept Vacchachippak and in its absence, Mujchippak Rajoharan.
