Those who do not follow the *antarayas* (inner restraints), the foolish and wicked,
Where is their Dharma? Where is their compassion? Where is their inner purity and outer cleanliness?
**Meaning:** Those who do not follow the *antarayas* have no Dharma, no compassion, and no inner or outer purity. **65**
**66**
*Saucha* (cleanliness) is the root of Dharma, which leads to compassion for all beings.
Through purity and compassion, the path to liberation is attained. **66**
**Food suitable for a Muni**
**67**
Just as at midday, one should eat food that is pure and wholesome,
For the sustenance of the body, not for the sake of enjoyment. **67**
**68**
Food contaminated with nine types of faults, arising from the mind, speech, and body,
Through actions, words, and approvals, is not fit for a Muni to consume. **68**
**69-71**
**1.** After performing the *Samayika* (meditation) at midday with joy,
Having bowed to the Jina in the east, one should proceed slowly for food.
**70.** Holding the *picchi* (feather duster) and *kamandalu* (water pot) in the left hand,
And placing the right hand on the shoulder, one should walk with a pure gait to the *Shravaka's* (lay follower's) house.
**71.** Arriving at the *Shravaka's* courtyard, the noble Muni should stand there,
And with purity, recite the five prostrations nine times. **69-71**
**Method of offering alms**
**72.** Seeing him, the devotee should quickly and with devotion accept him,
And wash his *ankshi* (bowl) with pure water and offer him food. **72**
