Discussion: The previous sutras have laid down the rules for accepting and not accepting from the houses of Shayatarapindas. These sutras lay down the rules for accepting and not accepting food or other articles from shops. The meaning of these sutras is that if a Shayatar's ownership is not involved in any divided goods in a collective shop of Shayatar and Ashayatar (other householders), or if any article is independently owned by another householder, then there is no fault of Shayatarapinda in accepting it. Therefore, such articles from the shops mentioned in the sutras can be accepted with discretion when invited by a householder or when necessary. The articles from the shops mentioned in the sutras are as follows: (1) oil etc., (2) jaggery etc., (3) any un-chitt articles of grains and groceries, (4) clothes, (5) thread, (6) cotton, (7) fragrant oils and perfumes (as medicine for illness), (8) sweets, (9) food items, (10) mangoes and other un-chitt fruits (boiled or without kernels).
These sutras make it clear that Sadhus and Sadhvis can accept Kalpyavastu from shops besides houses. In Dashav. A. 5 U. 1 Ga. 72, it is also forbidden to accept food items containing Raj from shops, i.e., they can be accepted if they are Raj-free. Here, the commentator has clarified that one must definitely be mindful of the environment, time, person, and general public. Otherwise, accepting articles from shops can harm the Sadhu or even the Jain religion. "Sodiyasala -"Sukhado" Tiprsidhmisthannavicrayasala Kandavikapan Ityarthah" - A shop of Kandoi. - Ni.
