## Third Objective] [183 But it is permissible for a monk to be ordained with previously accepted clothes / This sutra explains which articles a monk who accepts the Samayika-charitra and Chhedopasthapaniya-charitra should take for ordination. The one who is being ordained for the first time should take ordination with Rajoharan, Gochchak (Pramarjanika), Patra and three Kritsnavastra given by his parents or relatives. A piece of cloth one hand wide and twenty-four hands long is considered a Kritsnavastra / This means that he should be ordained with three pieces of cloth, each seventy-two hands long, along with the Rajoharan etc. equipment / After this, when he has his major ordination or when he incurs pollution in a particular vow or when he violates a Mahavrata, and he appears before the Acharya for re-ordination, he can take ordination with his previously accepted clothes and utensils, i.e. he does not need to take new clothes and utensils instead of the old ones / For detailed information regarding the articles, see Nishita U. 16, Su. 39. The description of the articles of a Sadhvi who takes ordination is also similar, but instead of three Kritsnavastra, they have four Kritsnavastra. Because their clothing equipment is slightly more. The clear meaning of three or four Akhand Vastra is not available in the commentary. Therefore, different traditions of different meanings are prevalent. The concept of 72 hand cloth measurement is also not very ancient, but it seems to be closer to the intention of the Agamas. In the first and second Samvasarana, the method of accepting clothes is prohibited 16. No Kapphah Nigganthan or Nigganthin va Padhamsamosaranuddesapattai Chelai Padighahettae / 17. Kapphai Nigganthan va Nigganthin va-Dochchasamosaranuddesapattai Chelai Padighahettae. 16. It is not permissible for Nirgranthas and Nirgranthis to accept clothes in the first Samvasarana. 17. It is permissible for Nirgranthas and Nirgranthis to accept clothes in the second Samvasarana / Discussion - The word Samvasarana means to receive from all sides. Sadhus and Sadhvis stay in one suitable place for Chaturmas, so it is called the first Samvasarana, and the time after the rainy season or Chaturmas is called the second Samvasarana. After arriving at the place where the Sadhus and Sadhvis are to perform Chaturmas, it is not permissible to take clothes from householders for the entire rainy season, i.e. from Prashtadh Shukla Purnima to Kartik Shukla Purnima. But after the rainy season, in the second Samvasarana, i.e. from Margashirsha Krishna Pratipada to Ashadh Shukla Purnima, during the Paath Maas, if they need clothes in that country and time, they can take them from householders / The Niyuktikara and the Bhashyakara have described all other known things related to Chaturmas in detail.
