(1) LAUKIK DRAVYA AVASHYAK
20. (Question) What is Laukik dravya avashyak (mundane physical avashyak) ?
(Answer) Laukik dravya avashyak (mundane physical avashyak) is explained thus—There are people like kings, princes, knights of honour, landlords, village-heads, senior citizens, businessmen, merchants, commanders, caravan chiefs etc. These people commence their daily chores when night ends, light of the dawn spreads, black of the night scatters, lotus blossoms, and when at the time of the crimson hued pale dawn the sun, the lord of the day, rises with its thousands of rays and grows in brilliance stirring the bunch of lotus flowers to blossom in a pond as red as red Ashoka flower, Palash leaves, beak of a parrot and the red half of the Chirmi seed (Abru precatorious). These chores include ablution, brushing teeth, oil massage, bathing and combing hair. They also throw around mustard seeds, flowers and grass as an auspicious act, look into the mirror, burn incense, wear garlands and flowers, chew beetle-leaves and wear clean dress. After concluding these essential duties they proceed to royal assemblies, temples, gardens, parks, congregations or water huts. All these activities are called Laukik dravya avashyak (mundane physical avashyak). (२) कुप्रावचनिक द्रव्य आवश्यक
