## 412 // [Vyavahar Sutra 16. It is not proper to take the extra Patra meant for Nirgranth-Nirgranthis for oneself or to give it to someone else. / 'He will take it, I will keep it, or if someone else needs it, I will give it to them.' Thus, it is not proper to give or invite someone else to take the Patra meant for someone else without asking them or inviting them. / It is proper to give or invite someone else after asking or inviting them. / The quantity and measure of each Upadhi of a Vivechan-Bhikshu is fixed. If the quantity of any Upadhi is not available in the Agam, then its quantity is determined according to the Gan-Samachari. The number of Patra is not clearly stated in the Agam. In the Niyukti Bhashya etc., one Patra or two Patra including a unit is determined, but since keeping many Patra is proven by the Agam, according to the current Gan-Samachari, there are different traditions of keeping 4-6 or more. The rule here is to take Patra in excess of the limit of the Gan, or to order extra Patra from where it is available. When taking such Patra, the Acharya-Upadhyaya or the particular person whose instruction is given to the householder should be given first and invited. Later, it can be given to someone else. / In Nishita U. 14 Sutra 5, there is a description of taking Patra for the purpose and purpose of the Gani, and there, in Sutra 6-7, there is a provision for giving extra Patra only to the incapable. Therefore, allowing to take extra Patra is the subject of the authority of the Acharya etc. Gitas. For a special description, see the discussion of Nishita U. 14. The quantity of Unodari of food is 17. 1. Eating food with one Kavala equal to the size of one's mouth is called Alpahar. 2. Eating food with twelve Kavala equal to the size of one's mouth is called Ardho-Unodarika.
