________________ Ratnakarandaka-śrāvakācāra कृतमात्मार्थं मुनये ददाति भक्तमिति भावितस्त्यागः । अरतिविषादविमुक्तः शिथिलितलोभो भवत्यहिंसैव ॥ ९७४ ॥ The ascetic should be offered food out of that prepared for family, with pure thoughts, without any indifference or regret. Such an act of giving gift (food) slackens greed, and is a form of ahimsā. 178 Jain, Vijay K. (2012), "Shri Amritachandra Suri's Puruṣārthasiddhyupaya", p. 111-112. Left: This typical posture - the thumb and fingers of right hand joined together and touching the shoulder - of a Jaina muni indicates that he is now ready for partake of food. Right: As the householder sees him, he welcomes him with utmost joy, chanting, "O Lord! I bow to you, I bow to you, I bow to you; here, here, here; stop, stop, stop." As the muni stops, he is welcomed by the gesture of circumambulating him thrice.
