## 206] [Brihatkalpa Sutra] It is not proper for a Nirgrantha or Nirgranthi to keep food beyond the limit of half a yojana, even if it is tasty. / 17. If, by chance, that food remains, then they should not eat it themselves nor give it to others, but should write and clean a secluded and completely unmindful place and dispose of that food properly. If they eat that food themselves or give it to other Nirgranthas or Nirgranthis, then they incur the Udghatik Chaturmasik Pratikramana. Discussion - A Bhikshu can bring food from a place two kos away from their shelter and can travel and take food, water, etc. in any direction up to two kos. If they mistakenly take it beyond that, then it is not proper to eat or drink it after knowing, but it is proper to dispose of it. / Food, etc. do not become mindful or contaminated by being taken further, but it is necessary to follow this area limit as stated in the Agamas. Two kos is four thousand dhanus, which is approximately four miles or seven kilometers. / No food, water, medicine, or any other edible material should be taken beyond this area. The method of disposing of inedible food taken unintentionally is as follows: 15. If a Niggantha, while collecting alms, receives inedible food from a householder due to lack of knowledge, then it is proper to give it to a disciple who is present. If there is no disciple present, then they should not eat it themselves nor give it to others, but should write and clean a secluded and unmindful place and dispose of it properly. 18. If a Nirgrantha, while entering a householder's house for food, receives contaminated, unmindful food or water, then _ if there is a disciple present there, then it is proper to give it to them or to give it to them after giving them edible food. If there is no disciple present, then they should not eat that inedible food themselves nor give it to others, but should write and clean a secluded and unmindful place and dispose of it properly. Discussion - After giving quick initiation, until the initiation for the whole life is given, that newly initiated Sadhu is called 'Anupasthapit Shaikshtar'.
