## Ninth Uddeshak [427]
After holding these images, all four types of food are abandoned, only drinking one's own urine remains open, meaning that on those days, whenever and however much urine comes, it is drunk following the prescribed rules. / The rules are as follows: (1) Drink during the day, not at night. (2) If it is mixed with worms, semen, menstrual fluid, or oil, it should not be drunk. / If it is pure, it should be drunk. / The commentator has stated that the aforementioned blood, oiliness, etc., of the image-holding monk may be due to some disease or due to austerity and the heat of the sun. / Sometimes this happens for the purification of the body's disorders by drinking urine alone. / Although this image-holder practices austerity and remains in Vyutsargatap throughout the day and night, yet when there is an obstruction of urine, he abandons Kayotsarg, abandons the flow in Matrak, transcribes it and drinks it. / Then he becomes stable again in Kayotsarg. / This is the method of this image. / The one who follows this image worships the path of liberation. / Along with that, his physical diseases are removed and he gets a strong body with the color of gold. After the image-paradhan, he returns to the Upashraya. / The commentary describes the gradual method of taking food and water for 49 days during his parana. In common practice, urine is considered secluded, impure, and unclean, but in medical texts it is called Sarvoshadhi, Shivaambu, etc., and in Jain Agamas, the monk is called "Moyasmayare" and the householder is called "Shuchisamachari". In the Abhidhana Ratnakosha, the word "Nishakalpa" is described as being useful for the sadhu to use it for Achaman in place of water at night. / Drinking one's own urine according to the prescribed method and applying it to the skin of the body removes many incurable diseases. It is a successful medicine for skin diseases or any kind of injury, wound, etc. / Therefore, in the Agamas, urine is not considered secluded, impure, or unclean, but is considered drinkable and impure according to the situation. The commentator has also stated that the general public is cleanliness-oriented and considers urine to be secluded and impure, therefore the image-holding monk should drink urine with such discretion that no one sees him transcribing it around. / Accordingly, other monks should also have the discretion to do any activity related to excretion in a way that is unseen and unknown to the general public. / In the present time, the importance of urine therapy has increased a lot, independent books on this subject have also been published, which also mention the relief of incurable diseases like cancer, TB, etc. Datti-Pramannirupan 43. Sankhadatt's monk, who holds the image (Gahavaakulan Pindavai-Padiae, Anupavitu) goes on and on, whatever images he has taken, he should give them to Datti, that is the truth.
