**It should be known that the conduct of strength (Veeryachar) is the way in which the soul is united with the three types of permissible conduct, namely, *pratiseva*, *pratisunana*, and *sanvasa*, which are free from the seventeen types of non-permissible conduct, arising from food and other sources, and which are the strength and power of the virtuous.** || 413 ||
**Pratiseva, pratisunana, and sanvasa are the three types of permissible conduct. If a worthy person is given food and other things, or if they are offered to them, it is called *pratiseva*.** || 414 ||
**If a worthy person is told beforehand or afterwards that food and other things are prepared for them, and they accept it after hearing this and remain content, it is called *pratisunana*. If they develop a sense of possessiveness towards food and other things, thinking that this household is ours, it is called *sanvasa*, the third type of permissible conduct. Therefore, those who follow the conduct of strength should abandon these three faults.** || 415 ||
