८०
अनागमणे काले ण अत्थिदव्वं तहेव एक्केण । ताहिं पुण सल्लावो ण य कायव्वो अकज्जेण ॥ १७७ ॥ आर्यागमने काले न स्थातव्यं तथैवैकेन ।
ताभिः पुनः संलापो न च कर्तव्यो कार्येण ।। १७७ ॥
अर्थ - आर्या आदि स्त्रियोंके आनेके समय मुनिको बनमें अकेला नहीं रहना चाहिये और उनके साथ धर्मकार्यादि प्रयोजनके विना बोले नहीं । धर्मके निमित्त यदि कोई समय • बोलना हो तो संक्षेपवचन कहे ॥ १७७ ॥
तासिं पुण पुच्छाओ एक्कस्से णय कहेज एक्को दु । गणिणीं पुरओ किच्चा जदि पुच्छइ तो कहेदव्वं १७८ तासां पुनः पृच्छा एकस्या नैव कथयेत् एकस्तु | गणिनीं पुरतः कृत्वा यदि पृच्छति ततः कथयितव्यं १७८

तरुणः तरुण्या सह कथा वा संलापं च यदि कुर्यात् । आज्ञाकोपादयः पंचापि दोषाः कृताः तेन ।। १७९ ।।

## Mulachar

This section discusses how monks should conduct themselves with visiting nuns in their order.

**80**

* **Verse 177:** "When the Aryas arrive, one should not remain alone. Nor should one engage in conversation with them without a purpose. If there is a need to speak for the sake of Dharma, one should speak briefly."

**Meaning:** When Aryas (nuns) arrive, monks should not be alone in the forest. They should not engage in idle conversation with them. If there is a need to speak for the sake of Dharma, they should do so briefly.

* **Verse 178:** "One should not answer a question from one of the Aryas alone. If a question is asked in the presence of the Ganini (head nun), then one should answer."

**Meaning:** If a nun asks a question, a monk should not answer alone, fearing slander. If the question is asked in the presence of the head nun, then the monk should answer.

* **Verse 179:** "If a young monk engages in conversation or discussion with a young woman, he commits five faults: disobedience, transgression, etc."

**Meaning:** A young monk should not engage in conversation or discussion with a young woman. Doing so would be considered disobedience, transgression, and other faults.
