**[215 4. Anjali-pragraha-samyama-paryaya]**
1. Standing with folded hands in front of senior monks or bowing with folded hands when meeting them.
2. Giving and receiving gifts as a disciple.
3. Inviting for a bed, robe, food, discipleship, and study.
4. **[Abhyutthana-deeksha-paryaya]** Standing up when a senior monk arrives.
5. **[Kritika-karma]** Offering respects with folded hands, circumambulation, bowing with folded hands, and chanting mantras.
6. **[Vaiyaavrutya]** Providing physical service like massage, bringing food, sewing or washing clothes, cleaning excreta, and delegating these services to other monks.
7. **[Samavasarana]** Sitting, sleeping, and engaging in activities in the same shelter.
8. **[Sannishedya]** Sitting on the same seat or offering a seat.
9. **[Katha-prabandha]** Delivering discourses together in an assembly, either sitting or standing.
These twelve types of interactions are prescribed among monks of the same gana (group). They are called "**Sam Bhogic**" monks.
Monks who engage in eleven of these interactions, excluding "**Bhakta-paan**", are called "**Any-Sam Bhogic**" monks.
They are also called "**Samanojnya**" monks because their conduct and views are similar.
These eleven or twelve types of interactions are practiced with "**Samanojnya**" monks. However, these twelve types of interactions are not practiced with "**Asamanojnya**" monks, such as those who are "**Parshvastha**" (those who have deviated from the path) or "**Svachchandaachari**" (those who act independently).
Some interactions may be practiced with them in exceptional cases, based on the judgment of the "**Geetarth**" (scriptural interpretation). There is no penance for such interactions. However, if these interactions are practiced without reason or without the guidance of "**Geetarth**", then penance is incurred.
These interactions are not practiced with householders.
With nuns, only six interactions are practiced through the "**Utsarga**" ritual, and six interactions can be practiced in exceptional circumstances.
**Utsarga Interactions** | **Exceptional Interactions**
------- | --------
Shruta (Second) | Upadhi (First)
Anjali-pragraha (Fourth) | Bhakta-paan (Third)
Shiksha-daan (Fifth) | Nimantra (Sixth)
Abhyutthana (Seventh) | Vaiyaavrutya (Ninth)
Kritika-karma (Eighth) | Samavasarana (Tenth)
Katha-prabandha (Twelfth) | Sannishedya (Eleventh)
If these twelve interactions are practiced with a householder, then the penance of "**Guru Chaumaasi**" is incurred.
