## Trivarna Achar (Three-fold Conduct)
**265:**
The child should leave the homashala (sacred fire place) and come out into the courtyard. There, he should perform achaman (ritual mouth rinsing) and, looking at the sun, offer an ardha (half) of water. Afterwards, he should pour a stream of water around the abhi (sacred fire) and offer three ahuti (offerings) into it, with the intention of peace, using sami (a type of wood) as the samidha (fuel), shali (rice) as the chaval (rice), laj (lai) (a type of grain), milk, ghee (clarified butter), and naivedya (offering). Then, he should wash his mouth, join his lips, and touch his mouth with his hands, warming them three times. Afterwards, he should perform the upasthapana (offering) of the agni (fire) and then immerse it. After that, it is the child's duty to beg for food until he has completed his vidya-abhyas (studies); therefore, he should leave the house with his patra (begging bowl) after taking permission from his guru (teacher). || 33-36 ||
**37:**
He should step out of the house with his right foot forward and walk slowly. He should go to the houses of the Brahmanas (priests) and beg for alms according to the teachings of his guru.
**38:**
While begging, he should speak without hesitation, saying, "Bhavati, please give alms," in such a way that the householders, who are following the conduct of the three varnas (castes), can clearly hear him.
**39:**
The Brahmanas believe that there are four branches of knowledge: Prathama-anuyoga, Karana-anuyoga, Charana-anuyoga, and Dravya-anuyoga.
**40:**
The housewife should offer a handful of rice to the child, mentioning the branch of knowledge that is practiced in her family.
**41:**
Seeing the child begging for alms, his relatives should say, "O child, you are still young, do not go to distant lands."
**42:**
"Stay here, near your guru, and always study. You will bring happiness to all members of our family."
**43:**
Accepting their words, the child should go to the jinalaya (Jain temple) and perform the rituals of worshipping the Jina (Tirthankara), starting with the homa (fire sacrifice).
**44:**
He should then feed all the Brahmanas and others according to the proper procedure, and honor the punyarya (holy ones) with clothes, ornaments, and betel leaves.
