**Samaacharaadhikaara 4.** The Vidhaanakaar should purify his conduct from the Aachaaryas and learn the Sutraartha diligently from them. || 169 ||
Further, it is said how to diligently practice:
**Padilēhiūṇ sammṁ davvṁ khettṁ ca kaalabhāvē ya. Viṇavovayārajuttēṇajjhēdāvvṁ payattēṇ. || 170 ||**
**Pratyaalekhhya samyak dravya kshetram cha kaalabhaavau cha. Vinayopachaar yuktena adhyetavya prayatnena. || 170 ||**
**Meaning:** Purification of dravya (substance) is to cleanse the body from impurities like boils, wounds, and underground skin, bones, urine, feces, etc. Purification of kshetra (field) is to cleanse the ground for a distance of one hundred cubits. Purification of kaal (time) is to avoid times like dusk, thunder, lightning, and other calamities. Purification of bhaav (emotion) is to abandon anger, etc. Thus, the muni should diligently study (read) with proper vinaya (discipline) and upachaar (conduct) after carefully observing the purity of these four: dravya, kshetra, kaal, and bhaav. || 170 ||
It is said what happens if one does not purify dravya, etc.:
**Davvādīvadīkkamṇṁ karedi suttatthasikkhālohēṇ. Asamahimasajjhāyṁ kalahaṁ vāhiṁ viyogṁ ca. || 171 ||**
**Dravyaadi vyatikramanam karoti sutraarth shikshaalobhena. Asamaadhir asvadhyaayaha kalaho vyaadhih viyogaha cha. || 171 ||**
**Meaning:** If the visiting muni, due to his greed for learning the Sutraartha, violates the purity of dravya, etc., i.e., disobeys the Shastra, then he will face the following faults: asamaadhi (lack of concentration), asvadhyaaya (lack of self-study), kalaha (quarrel), vyaadhi (disease), and viyoga (separation). || 171 ||
