## Seventh Uddeshak
[401] If you are staying in the same house, you can take permission from the owner. Similarly, if there is a wise and responsible servant, you can take permission from them. If you are sitting in an open space outside the house (veranda, etc.) and the owner has locked the house and gone somewhere, you can take permission from a passerby or a neighbor. According to the second Sutra, if a monk has to stay on the way or under a tree while wandering, they should also take permission for that place. A monk cannot sit there without permission. At that time, if any traveler is passing by or any person is sitting there, their permission can be taken. If there is no one to give permission, the monk can stay there by saying, "This is the permission of Shakendra." But in no way should one stay anywhere without taking permission, this is the meaning of the second Sutra. If one forgets to take permission, they should do Pratikraman for that. In the manuscripts, there are two types of words "Phae Vi" and "Pahiye Vi". But according to the Bhashya, the reading "Phae Vi" is correct here, which means that if you have to sit on the path, i.e., on the way, you should also take permission. The use of "Pahiye Vi" should be considered a scribal error.
The rule for taking permission in the case of a change of government is as follows:
25. If a new king is crowned after the death of the king, but the kingdom remains undivided and unattacked by enemies, the royal lineage remains unbroken, and the administration remains the same, then the previous permission remains valid for the monks and nuns.
26. If a new king is crowned after the death of the king, and at that time the kingdom is divided or attacked by enemies, the royal lineage is broken, or the administration changes, then the monks and nuns should take permission again for the sake of their monkhood, i.e., (the limits of restraint).
**Discussion:** The monks should take permission from the owner of the kingdom, i.e., the king, etc., where they want to wander. After taking permission, if the king changes, there are two situations:
