**Mūlāchāra**
The text outlines the types of women from whom a monk should not accept food. It specifies:
- A woman who is immature (too young), lustful due to intoxication, sick, has come from a dead body, is impotent, suffers from ailments like air disease, is not properly dressed, has urinated or passed other waste, fainted, vomited, is menstruating, is a servant, or has bodily infections like sores. Monks should not accept food from women exhibiting these characteristics. (Verse 468)
- A woman who is extremely young, elderly, pregnant, or blind. Those who are overly indulgent or of low stature (in terms of moral character) should also be avoided. (Verse 469)
- Actions like handling waste or improper disposal should be avoided, which affect a monk's purity. If any of these actions are done, it affects the food offered to monks. (Verse 470)
- Activities like applying ointments, cleaning, or consuming harmful substances should be avoided. Such actions by women result in faults in the food offered as a gift. (Verse 471)
The text provides guidelines for monks based on the characteristics and actions of women.
