१२१. इन चारों प्रतिमाओं में से किसी एक प्रतिमा को धारण करने वाला साधु अन्य प्रतिमाधारी साधुओं की निन्दा या अवहेलना न करे । किन्तु ऐसा विचार करे कि ये जो साधु इन चार प्रतिमाओं में से किसी एक को स्वीकार करके विचरण करते हैं, और मैं जिस (एक) प्रतिमा को स्वीकार करके विचरण करता हूँ; ये सब जिनाज्ञा के आराधक हैं। इस प्रकार पारस्परिक समाधिपूर्वक विचरण करे ।
FOUR CODES OF EXPLORING FOR BED
120. Avoiding these faults (regarding bed) an ascetic should seek bed according to the following four pratimas or codes
(1) First Pratima-A bhikshu or bhikshuni should beg for a bed specifying the name of the desired type; for example-a bed made of ikkad, kadhinak, jantuk, parak or mundak, morang, kurchak, varvak or any other type of grass, reed, straw, fibre or feathers. Seeing any type of straw or a bed made of straw an ascetic should tell the householder specifying its name-" "Long lived noble householder! Out of these beds would you please give me that particular bed ?" In this manner he should beg for a faultless and acceptable bed or accept it even if it is offered without begging. This is the first code.
(2) Second Pratima-Seeing a bed lying in the house, a bhikshu or bhikshuni should beg thus-"O long lived householder! Would you please give me any one of these beds ?" In this manner he should beg for a faultless and acceptable bed or accept it even when it is given without begging. This is the second code.
(3) Third Pratima-If beds of dry grass and other said types of material are available in the upashraya an ascetic wants to stay, he should take a bed after seeking permission from the owner. If beds are not available in the upashraya he should spend the night sitting in utkatuk, lotus or any other yogic posture (refraining from bringing straw for outside and making bed). This is the third code.
