BANDITS AND OTHER PROBLEMS
134. An itinerant bhikshu or bhikshuni should find if on his way there are domains of bandits, rustics or uncivilized people who are averse to learning, difficult to persuade to abandon uncivilized ways by preaching religion; who remain awake during odd hours and eat at odd hours. If it is so he should not even think of taking that path if another is available or there are areas where civilized people live. The omniscient has said that going there is the cause of bondage of karmas.
(This is because) When those ignorant uncivilized people see ascetics they will utter harsh words-"He is a thief, he is a spy, he comes from a hostile village”, they will also tie him with ropes and torture him. It is also possible that they will tear, break, destroy, snatch or throw away his belongings including dress, pots, blanket and ascetic-broom. Therefore, for ascetics Tirthankars and other sages have said that the ascetics should not think of moving around in areas where bandits and uncivilized people live. In other words they should avoid such areas during there wanderings.
