"Taking food from the second or third floor of a house by climbing up a ladder, a staircase, or a ramp is a *Malarohaṇa* fault. Meaning: Taking food from a place higher than the food-giving place by climbing up a ladder, staircase, or ramp is a *Malarohaṇa* fault. In this, the food giver's falling down, etc., is seen as a danger; therefore, it is a fault. In this way, sixteen *Udgaman* faults are said. Next, sixteen *Utpādan* faults are said." || 96 || *Dhāni* Fault |

*Bhṛtya* Fault | Taking food after conveying news from one's own village and country to another village and another country is a fault called *Bhṛtya* or messenger. Meaning: If a monk is going to another village or another country by water, land, or air, and a householder sees him going and says, "O Bhattaraka! Please take this message for me," and the monk takes that message and delivers it to the person to whom it was sent, and the person in that other village or country is very pleased and gives the monk food, and the monk takes that food, then that food is considered to be tainted with the *Dūta* fault. Therefore, monks should not take food produced by messenger work. Because taking food through messenger work brings impurity to the Jain religion. || 99 ||
