[398] In the *Vyavahar Sutra Brihatkalpa Uddesa 1*, it is stated that when staying in a village or any other place, they should only stay with the assurance of protection and assistance from the householder, etc. From the perspective of the *Agamas*, it is not necessary for the *Sadhvis* to have a *Pracharya* after 60 years of *diksha* or an *Upadhyaya* after 30 years of *diksha*. The detailed description of the appointment of a *Bhikshu* with three years of *diksha* to the position of *Upadhyaya* and a *Bhikshu* with five years of *diksha* to the position of *Pracharya* should be known from the third *Uddesaka*. The method of disposing of the dead body of a *Shraman* and accepting their equipment is as follows:
**20.** If a *Bhikshu* dies while traveling from village to village and another *Bhikshu* sees his body and knows that there are no householders nearby, then it is appropriate to dispose of the body of the deceased *Shraman* in a secluded, lifeless place after performing the rituals of *pratilekhan* and *pramardjan*. If any of the deceased *Shraman's* equipment is usable, then it is appropriate to accept them as *sagarkrit* and use them again after obtaining the permission of the *Acharya*, etc.
**Discussion:** In the *Brihatkalpa Uddesaka 4*, the method of disposing of a *Sadhu* who has attained *kaladharma* in an *upashraya* is mentioned. In the present *sutra*, the method of disposing of the body of a *Bhikshu* who has attained *kaladharma* while traveling is described. If a *Bhikshu* traveling alone attains *kaladharma* and one or more *Sarmic* *Sadhus* see his body, then they should take it to a secluded place and dispose of it according to the proper procedure. "**Ma Sagariy**" - The *Bhikshu* should know that there are no householders nearby who would perform the funeral rites. In this situation, the *Sadhus* should take the body to a secluded, lifeless place and dispose of it. If the deceased *Bhikshu* has any usable equipment, then they can accept it after obtaining the permission of the *Pracharya*. They can then keep and use the equipment that the *Pracharya* allows them to keep. If one or more *Bhikshus* leave the body of the deceased *Bhikshu* on the road for any reason, then they are all liable for the *Guruchaumasi* atonement.
