## Ratnakarandaka Shravaka Achar
**66**
The ancient teachers like Ganadhardeva, who are well-versed in penance, remember the boundaries and explain them. In the word "boundaries", the sixth case ending (षष्ठी) is used, meaning "of whom". Whose boundaries are these? The boundaries are of houses, villages, and fields. The boundary of a village is a fort (कटक). Similarly, the boundary of a field, river, and a distance of seven yojanas is a forest (वन). These boundaries are for the **Deshavakashika** who has taken the vow of **Deshanivritti**.

Explaining the limits of time and wealth, it is said:
> "Year, season, solstice, month, four months, fortnight, and constellation - these are the limits of time for the **Deshavakashika**, as said by the wise." (4)
The wise, like Ganadhardeva, explain the time limit, the time boundary, for the **Deshavakashika**. What is it? It is said: "Year, etc." - meaning, "I should stay in this place for a year, or for a season, or for a month, or for four months, or for a fortnight, or until this constellation (as determined by the moon or the sun)." After fulfilling these conditions, what happens? It is said:
> "By abandoning the five great sins, other than the gross ones, beyond the boundaries, the **Deshavakashika** establishes the great vows." (5)
The great vows are established, meaning they are implemented. By whom? By the **Deshavakashika**, not only by the **Digviraati**, but also by the **Deshavakashika**. Why? Because of the abandonment of the five great sins, other than the gross ones. The five great sins are those that are characterized by violence, etc. The **Deshavakashika** abandons these sins completely. Who? The **Deshavakashika** who is beyond the boundaries. The boundaries are the "end-dharmas" (अन्ताधर्मा) like houses, etc., and the specific periods like a year, etc. Beyond these boundaries, in that part, the **Deshavakashika** now shows the transgressions. It is said:
> "Sending a message, bringing something, showing money, revealing a person, and throwing something - these are the five transgressions of the **Deshavakashika**." (6)
