___Acarya:-We fully agree with you, in believing that a person who overcomes the distress arising from naked condition, should be known as a true ascetio. But in connection with the same, I ask you this question : Are you in favour of completely renouncing the garment, because according to you, one cannot be said to have overoome acelaka parişaha if he puts on a gar. ment? Or, do you hold the above-mentioned view in order to prevent the wearing of undesirable garments by the ascètics ?
Taking the first alternative, if you are of the opinion of abandoning the garments on the ground that'"acelaka parişaha" could be said to bave been overcome only if the clothes are completely renounced, you are mistaken. According to this standard, even Tirthankaras will be said to have failed in overcoming the parişaha of hunger etc. in spite of their having the best qualities of courage and strength.
Sivabhati :-An ascetic who takes the pure prescribed food and drink, etc., without any desire or aversion on his part, would be said to have subdued the pangs of hunger etc.
Acārya :—The same standard should be applied to those who accept the presoribed garments without desire breversion
