## Second Uddeshak (Objective)
**Summary:** The carrying of Pariharatapas (penance) by two or more wandering monks can be done. Sick monks should not be neglected or expelled from the Gachchha (community), but should be properly served. A monk who has received the ninth or tenth Prayaschitta (atonement) should be given Upasthapana (ordination) only after wearing the Grihastha-linga (householder's mark). However, it may be possible to give Diksha (initiation) without the Grihastha-linga, depending on the decision of the Gachchha-pramukh (head of the community). In cases of accusation and dispute, Prayaschitta should be given only after clear proof. If there is no proof, Prayaschitta should be given only after accepting one's own fault. A monk whose Shruta (scriptural knowledge) and Diksha (initiation) are one-sided should be given the position of Acharya (teacher). Even after the completion of Pariharatapas, the food should be taken separately for some days. For a period of up to one month, the food should be taken separately so that he can consume food without Samvibhaga (equal distribution). Pariharatapas can be given only with the knowledge of the Sthavir (elder monk), and he can consume Vigaya (special food) only after obtaining special permission. A Pariharic (penitent) monk who is serving the Sthavir can bring both their Gochari (food) together, but should not eat together. He should eat separately, using his own hand or bowl.
**Conclusion:** This Uddeshak discusses the rules regarding the carrying of Pariharatapas, serving sick monks without neglecting them, the Upasthapana of those who have received the ninth or tenth Prayaschitta, the decision-making process in case of disputes, the appointment of a one-sided Acharya, and other related topics.
