[416] [Vyavahar Sutra Sutra 6.9] If a householder needs to take a bed, bedding, or other shelter (house) from another householder, then they should ask for their permission again. If they have left a mat or other shelter for a short time, then they should ask for permission again to take it, but they should not take it without permission. Because it has been left for a short time under their protection. 10-12 _ It is necessary to ask for permission for a house, mat, etc. before taking it. _ In the case of a rare bed, it can be taken first with discretion and then permission can be sought. _ 13-15 If a monk's equipment falls on the road while traveling and another monk finds it, they should inquire and give it to the owner. _ If no one claims it, they should leave it. If it is a large piece of equipment like a dustpan, etc., then they should take it further and inquire. If additional utensils have been taken under the instructions of the Acharya, etc., then they should be given to them or entrusted to them. _ They should not give it to anyone they wish to give it to. _ If the name of the person to whom it is to be given has been instructed, then they should give it to them first after taking permission from the Acharya. They should always practice some form of Unodari tapas. One who practices Unodari is not called a Prakamabhoji. Conclusion: In this Uddeshak, Sutras 1-4, 6-12 discuss the taking of a bed, seat, mat, etc., the solitary elder, 13-15 the lost equipment, 16 the bringing and giving of additional utensils, the Unodari of food, etc. // Eighth Uddeshak ends //
