**9.** It is proper to use a *pratiharic* bed-spread or bed-spread of a non-Jain householder, brought from outside, after it has been completely handed over, only after seeking permission a second time.
**Discussion:** If it becomes necessary to take any *pratiharic* equipment, such as a bed-spread or other household items, from the house where it was received to another house, it is necessary to obtain permission from its owner or inform him. For more information, see the discussion of *Ni. U. 2 Su. 53*. If any equipment, such as a *paṭa* (cloth), has been brought, it can be left in the *upaśraya* (shelter) under one's own care if it is not needed for a short period of time. However, if it becomes necessary to take it back again, it is necessary to seek permission again. This is the meaning of the second *sūtra*. For more information, see the discussion of *Ni. U. 5 Su. 23*.
**Method of receiving a bed-spread:**
**10.** It is not proper to first receive the bed-spread from the *nirgrantha* or *nirgranthi* and then seek their permission.
**11.** It is proper to first seek permission from the *nirgrantha* or *nirgranthi* and then receive the bed-spread.
**12.** However, one should know this: If it is difficult to obtain a *pratiharic* bed-spread from the *nirgrantha* or *nirgranthi*, then it is proper to first receive the bed-spread and then seek their permission. "May it be well, sir! Please give it." This should be said in a respectful and polite manner.
