If a Nigrantha wishes to be ordained in another gana due to knowledge or other reasons, the permission of the Acharya is required. Similarly, if a Pracharaya, Upadhyaya, Ganavachchedak, etc., wishes to be ordained in another gana, they should join the other gana only after making suitable arrangements in their own community. If a Shraman or Shramani attains Kaladharma during the evening or night, other Shraman-Shramanis should keep the dead body carefully throughout the night. In the morning, they should bring bamboo, etc., from a householder's house, tie the deceased with it, and place it on a harmless land in the forest. They should then return the bamboo, etc., to the householder. If a Shraman has quarreled with a householder, he should not engage in begging until the householder is pacified. To explain the method of accepting Pariharavishuddhacharitra, on the day of Parana, the Acharya and Upadhyaya themselves go to the Shraman, provide him with food, and after returning to their own place, explain the method of observing Pariharavishuddhacharitra. Shraman-Shramanis should not cross more than one of the five great rivers, Ganga, Yamuna, Sarayu, Koshika, and Mahi, in a month. Shallow rivers like Airavati, etc., can be crossed two or three times a month. Shraman-Shramanis should stay in harmless huts made of grass, where they cannot stand properly, during the Hemant and Grishma seasons. If the hut is made of harmless grass, etc., and is less than two hands high, they cannot stay there during the rainy season. If it is more than two hands high, they can stay there during the rainy season. The Pancham Uddeshak states that if a deva takes the form of a woman and holds the hand of a Sadhu, and the Sadhu considers her soft touch pleasurable, he incurs the sin of Mithuna Pratisevan and has to perform Chaturmasik Guru-Prayaschitta. Similarly, if a Sadhvi experiences the touch of a man and considers it pleasurable, she also incurs Chaturmasik Guru-Prayaschitta. If a Shraman joins another gana without resolving a conflict and the Acharya of that gana learns that he has come there after quarreling, he should be given a five-night punishment and then pacified and sent back to his own gana. If a strong or weak Shraman takes food, etc., thinking that the sun has risen or has not yet set, and then learns that the sun has not yet risen or has already set, he should immediately abandon the food, etc. He does not incur the sin of night food. One who takes food, etc., with doubt about sunrise and sunset incurs the sin of night food. Shraman-Shramanis should spit out any food, etc., that comes into their mouth through belching, etc., at night. If a Dwindriya, etc., creature falls into food, etc., it should be carefully removed and the food, etc., should be consumed. If it cannot be removed, it should be placed in a secluded, harmless place. If drops of water fall into food, etc., while eating, and the food is hot, there is no fault in eating it. [53]
