lures of the tongue, and compromise their vows in favour of the worldly pleasures like gastronomic delights are like Bhogavati. They, too, earn bad names for themselves in this world and transmigrate endlessly. Monks, nuns and lay follower also make fun of them.
The monks and nuns who take the monastic vows and protect and preserve them carefully are like Rakṣikā. They are praised, honoured and worshipped by many a monk, nun and lay follower and they practice flawless monasticism in their lives.
The monks and nuns that not only protect and preserve their monastic vows but also enhance them by steadfast and creative imagination are like Rohiņi. They earn everyone's praise and are worshiped by all the monks, nuns and the lay followers in this world; in the world hereafter, too, they gain divine rebirth or altogether liberate from the mundane existence.
