## Eighth Objective] 415 This has been projected by someone and the commentators have tried to harmonize it by understanding it as the original text. The commentary also states that one who takes a full meal once a day is a 'Prakambhoji', one who takes a full meal for many days is a 'Nikambhoji' and one who eats more than 32 kavals is an 'Atibhoji'. Here a question arises: is the complete measure mentioned for 32 kavals of food in relation to each meal or in relation to multiple meals? And how are milk, buttermilk, and other beverages included in these 32 kavals? Solution - From the observation of the Praachara Shastras, it becomes clear that eating once a day is the pure Utsarga Praachara of a monk. The rules for eating at other times mentioned in the Agamas should be understood as exceptions. Accepting exceptional conduct as a permanent tendency is laxity in conduct. Therefore, eating multiple times due to a reason or eating in the morning and evening is an exceptional path. The Utsargamarga is to eat only once. Therefore, this rule is in relation to the Prautsargik food taken once a day as mentioned earlier. The complete quantity, which fills the stomach completely, provides full satisfaction, or which does not leave a desire to eat more or to remain hungry, should be divided into 32 kavals. Milk, bread, fruits, etc., should all be included in this. The number of kavals that can be consumed without feeling hungry should be considered as the Unodari. Generally, the monk's food on the Utsargamarga is free from impurities, therefore, it becomes easier to understand 32 kavals in relation to bread, etc. Based on this, it is concluded that the total amount of food taken multiple times due to a reason should be 32 kavals. Therefore, if one has to eat multiple times, then 32 kavals should be divided and understood accordingly. By eating a normal, impurity-free meal once a day for many days, the total amount of food can be measured in terms of the number of breads. Sutra 1 2-4 _ Summary of the Eighth Objective: To accept the Shayanasanabhoomi with the permission of the Sthavir Guru, etc. The Pat, etc., should be brought easily, such that it can be lifted with one hand.
