**Neww9.**
If a dispute arises with someone in the practical matters written by Somasen Bhattaraka, one should not harbor any ill will in their heart, not laugh without purpose, not repeatedly touch their face with their hands, and not repeatedly put their finger in their nose. || 161 ||
One should speak firmly after considering the matter carefully, and speak words that do not cause anger in the hearts of others. One should not pluck grass or anything else without purpose, and should not click their fingers or play any instrument on their body without purpose. || 162 ||
One should not speak privately with their mother, daughter, or sister. One should be careful while sitting, sleeping, standing, and riding. || 163 ||
One should personally look after their livestock, such as cows, buffaloes, bulls, and horses. They should have their farming done near their own home. They should keep the elderly, children, the weak, and the disabled happy. || 164 ||
One should not cross the shadow of a statue of a Jina or any other revered object, nor should they allow their body to be touched by the shadow of a low person. || 165 ||
One should not refuse to give, reject, or send away those who seek help. Even towards those who harm them, one should be benevolent. || 166 ||
One should avoid sleep, sexual pleasure, and eating during the twilight hours. One should not argue with good people, nor should they be friendly with fools. || 167 ||
One should not eat in the house of a student, a king, an enemy, or a prostitute. One should also not eat in a restaurant, a hotel, or the house of a low person or a priest. || 168 ||
