## First Objective] [In the 135th commentary, the method of covering the door is described as follows: The door should be closed from the outside with a mat made of bamboo or date palm, or a curtain of sun-tat, etc., and also from the inside. At night, both curtains should be tied with a peg, etc., at the top, middle, and bottom in such a way that no man can enter from outside. For further security, it is stated that a strong Sadhvi should guard the door throughout the night in turns, and the Ganini or Pravartini should arrange for the sleeping arrangement of the beautiful young Sadhvis, placing them in a circular pattern, with the melodious Sadhvis in the middle and the elderly Sadhvis in between. The Ganini should sleep in the middle and keep an eye on everyone. The reason for the provision of accommodation for the Sadhus in a place with an open door is clear, as there is no possibility of such fear for them. If there is any fear of dogs, thieves, etc., the Sadhu should also take appropriate precautions. The prohibition and permission for the Sadhu-Sadhvi to possess a Ghatimaatraka is described in 16. Kappi Nigganthinam Antolittam Ghadimmattayam Dharittae Va Pariharittae Va / 17. No Kappi Nigganthanam Antolittam Ghadimmattayam Dharittae Va Pariharittae Va. 16. It is permissible for the Nirgranthis to keep and use a Ghatimaatraka with a coating on the inside. 17. It is not permissible for the Nirgranthis to keep and use a Ghatimaatraka with a coating on the inside. Discussion - The Agam permits the keeping of three types of Maatraka, namely 1. Uccaramaatraka, 2. Prasravanamaatraka, 3. Khelmaatraka. Here also, one type of Maatraka is described. In many previous sutras, prohibitions have been made for the protection of the Sadhvi's chastity, and here there is a prohibition for the protection of the Bhikshu's Brahmacharya. The Ghatimaatraka is a type of Prasravanamaatraka. Although it is permissible for both Sadhu and Sadhvi to keep the Prasravanamaatraka, this Maatraka has a specific shape, and the word "Ghati" describes that shape, which the commentator has interpreted as follows: "Ghatimaatra" - Ghatisansthanam Mrnmaybhajan Vishesh, Ghatika (Ghadiga) ke Prakar wala ek prakar ka Mitti ka Patra, Ghatimaatraka ka arth hai. Just as the long pieces of Talapralamb were prohibited for the Sadhvi because they resembled the male symbol, similarly, the Ghatimaatraka, due to its shape, resembles the female symbol.
