## The Four Varnas and Their Conduct:
51. We have seen that the gods eat meat and drink cow urine. We have already said that they do not eat or drink themselves. But their nature is such that they enter the bodies of humans and make them perform all kinds of actions, engaging in various kinds of play. If anyone doubts this, they should refer to the Rajavartika text written by Swami Akalankdev. It states that their tendency is primarily for play. Therefore, it is proven that they engage in such play. This is not only known through inference and scriptures, but also through direct observation, as many Vyantaras are seen engaging in such play even today. The countless goats and other animals that are sacrificed to the gods and goddesses are also the result of their past disturbances. And the scriptures also state that those beings who die and become Vyantaras are the ones who often cause disturbances, and they are pacified by making them perform certain actions. All this is described in the Mahapurana and other scriptures as disturbances caused by Vyantara gods. It is also mentioned that such actions pacify the disturbance. For example, the story of Holika is well-known. In short, Vyantaras have various natures. Some have the nature of consuming water, while others have the nature of taking water squeezed from clothes. These are all their natural actions. Even today, these gods are seen doing this. This clearly shows that Vyantaras reside everywhere and engage in various kinds of play. Therefore, it is completely inappropriate to write that according to Jain principles, neither the gods nor the Pitrigans wander in search of water or suffer, nor do they desire the water of Tarpan or feel satisfied and content upon receiving it. Jain scriptures clearly state that Vyantaras have such a nature and they do this for play - they are pacified by making them perform such actions. Even those things that are clearly found in Jain scriptures are poured with water. Although they do not drink water squeezed from clothes, their nature is such that they make others do it and are pleased by it. Therefore, anything else written on this subject is also nonsensical. When the author is convinced, let them come to the authors and show them their duty. The author has been forced to write this due to lack of faith in Jain scriptures or lack of complete knowledge of them, or due to a desire for reputation by misleading innocent people. Such writing only reveals that what is not before the author's eyes does not exist and such actions never took place. Now the question is, should the Shravakas do this? The answer is that Shravakas have many levels, although they are counted numerically, there are still many subtle nuances within them, just as there are many nuances of Mithyatva karma. Some have one kind of Mithyatva, while others have another - they are not all the same, but it is still Mithyatva. Similarly, there are some aspects of Shravakas who do this at their level, and they can do it at that level. Doing so does not destroy their Samyaktva. Water is not given to Vyantaras for any purpose. Because the verse itself clearly states that those who have died without any rituals, who have become Vyantaras after death, and who want to take water from my hand...
