The commentary further explains the method of collecting and returning materials for purposes like lying down, etc. It sheds light on the limitations of diet, stating that a monk who eats eight morsels is called an *alpahāri*, one who eats twelve, sixteen, twenty-four, thirty-one, and thirty-two morsels is called an *apārḍhāri*, *arḍhāri*, *prāptāvamoudarya*, and *pramaṇāhāri* respectively. The ninth *uddesaka* discusses the food intake of monks in relation to their relatives, friends, and other visitors, highlighting various paradigms. The tenth *uddesaka* focuses specifically on *yavamādhyapratimā* and *vanamādhyapratimā*. It also explains five types of conduct, the method of *bāladikshā*, ten types of *vaiyāvṛtti*, etc. Stories of *Prāyaṁ rakshit*, *Ārya kālak*, King *Sātavāhana*, *Pradyot*, *Murunda*, *Cāṇakya*, *Cilātaputra*, *Avanti*, *Sukumāla*, *Rohiney*, *Prārya samudra*, *Ārya mangu*, etc. are included. This commentary is significant in many ways. A *cūṇī* was also written on conduct. After the *cūṇī*, *Ācārya Malayagiri* wrote a *vṛtti* on conduct. The *vṛtti* clearly reflects the profound scholarship of *Ācārya Malayagiri*. The depth of the subject, the simplicity of the language, the elegance of the style, and the clarity of the analysis are noteworthy. The beginning of the text has a preface in the form of a *pīṭhikā*, which discusses topics like *kalpa*, conduct, faults, atonement, etc. The commentator, with devotion, has paid homage to *Arhat Ariṣṭanemi*, his revered guru, and the commentator of the *vyavahārasūtra*, etc. The commentator, while clarifying the difference between the *Bṛhatkalpa* and *vyavahāra*, writes that the study of *kalpa* deals with atonement, but it does not include the method of giving atonement, whereas *vyavahāra* includes both the method of giving atonement and the method of criticism. This is the special feature of *vyavahāra* compared to *Bṛhatkalpa*. Analyzing *vyavahāra*, *vyavahāri*, and *vyavahartavya*, he writes that *vyavahāri* is the doer, *vyavahāra* is the cause, and *vyavahartavya* is the action. The cause-like *vyavahāra* is of five types: *prāgama*, *śruta*, *ājñā*, *dhāraṇā*, and *jīta*. The *cūṛṇikāra* calls all five types of conduct *karaṇa*. The commentator considers *sūtra*, *artha*, *jītakalpa*, *mārga*, *nyāya*, *apsytavya*, *prācarita*, and *vyavahāra* to be synonymous. One who knows the essence of conduct and has the ability to explain the nature of conduct to others is called a *gītartha*. For a *gītartha*, the use of conduct is essential. Both the giver of atonement and the receiver of atonement should be *gītartha*. There are four meanings of atonement: *pratisevā*, *manyajanā*, *grāropaṇā*, and *parikūcanā*. There are ten types of atonement in the form of *pratisevā*. (1) *Ālocana*, (2) *pratikramāṇā*, (3) *tadu-bhaya*, (4) *viveka*, (5) *utsarga*, (6) *tapa*, (7) *chedha*, (8) *mūla*, (9) *anavasthāpya*, and (10) *pārāñcīka*. These ten types of atonement have been discussed in detail. If we compare these types of atonement with the atonement method found in the *Vinayapitaka*, we will find a surprising similarity. It is essential that the officer or *ācārya* who gives atonement be a *bahuśruta* and serious. In front of everyone, 1. *Vinayapitaka* diagnosis [70]
