According to the Vyavahar Sutra, it is considered appropriate to perform 'Abhinicharika' if a Sthavir Sadhu gives permission. If a Sthavir Sadhu does not give permission, then it is not considered appropriate to perform 'Abhinicharika'. If one performs 'Abhinicharika' without obtaining permission from the Sthavirs, they are liable for Dikshached or Parihar Prayschitta.
**Explanation:**
The term 'Abhinicharika Gaman' refers to the practice of a Sadhu, who is weak, unable to perform austerities, and has a thin body due to austerities, going to a nearby village of cowherds to consume milk and other non-vegetarian food.
If any monk or group of monks needs to go to an area where such non-vegetarian food is easily available, it is necessary to obtain permission from the Gachchha-pramukh Acharya or Sthavir. They grant permission for 'Abhinicharika' only if they deem it necessary, otherwise, they may refuse.
In Sutra 4, it is stated that performing Prayschitta is necessary for consuming non-vegetarian food without the specific permission of the Acharya-Upadhyaya. Here, it is stated that performing Prayschitta is necessary for going to 'Vajika' without permission. Therefore, one should not go without permission.
The Bhashya explains that if the Acharya-Upadhyaya has a large number of Sadhus, many Pratichchak Sadhus from other Gachchhas have come for study, there is a lot of coming and going of guest Sadhus, or there are many compassionate Sadhus like Baddha, etc., then due to any of these reasons, if the monks do not get the necessary non-vegetarian food after studying or performing austerities or after performing Prayschitta, and their bodies become thin, then they are given permission to go to 'Vajika' for a fixed number of days, such as 5 days. The entire structure of the Sutra is based on this expectation.
The statement about obtaining permission for general wandering is found in Sutra 2 of Udde. 3.
**Duties of a Charya-Pravesht and Charya-Nivritt Bhikshu:**
20. A Charya-Pravesht Bhikshu should go to the Thera for four or five days, and should be truthful in his speech, truthful in his actions, and should be respectful to his elders. He should not be arrogant or proud.
21. A Charya-Pravesht Bhikshu should go to the Thera for four or five days, and should be respectful to him, should be truthful in his actions, and should be ready to accept any punishment or reprimand. He should be humble and respectful to his elders.
If he says, "Bante! I will always be respectful and humble, and I will always follow the rules," then he should be careful about his body.
