In addition to this, it is essential to understand that this discretion should also be exercised in homes where there is great devotion and affection. Because there is always a possibility of such faults occurring there as well. This section of the sutra explains that after entering a family home for a gochari, one should not accept any food that has been prepared or removed from the stove, such as rice, lentils, bread, milk, etc. Whether the sadhu is the cause of the removal of that food or not, such food is unacceptable in a known family. One should only accept food that has been prepared or removed from the stove before entering the home. There is no prohibition in the sutra against accepting such food in unfamiliar or slightly familiar homes. The reason for this is that devotees, relatives, etc., may sometimes act in a way that violates the agnikaya due to their devotion to the sadhu, but this fault is not likely in slightly familiar or less devoted homes. Therefore, this rule is not applicable in those families. That is why this rule is only associated with the families of relatives in the scriptures. There are five atiśayas of the ācārya and upādhyāya in the gana, as follows: 1. The ācārya and upādhyāya, while inside the upāśraya, may wipe or clean their feet, which are covered in dust, with a cloth, without violating the maryaada (jina-ājñā).
