Bhāsyam Sūtra 105 For the sake of relatives and for entertaining other people, stocking and hoarding of goods are made." The instinct to accumulate is a basic instinct. The family is the field of application of such instinct. Human beings amass huge possessions for the prosperity of the family. 2.106 samutthie anagăre ārie āriyapanne āriyadamsi ayam samdhitti
adakkhu. The self-disciplined ascetic who is noble, endowed with noble wisdom and noble vision discovered and identified the pitfall
(samdhi). Bhāsyam Sūtra 106 For the practice of non-violence and conquering taste, the self-disciplined monk who is noble endowed with noble wisdom and noble vision found out that stocking and hoarding were pitfalls. Here samdhi means aperture or hole. The accumulation of a huge quantity of food by a monk from a particular house, though he ought to get alms from different houses is a dangerous pit that augments the lust for food. In those days some monks were used to collect food from a particular house. In order to counter the addiction to food, Lord Mahāvīra prescribed getting alms from different houses. 2.107 seņāie, nājāvae, ņa samanujāņai.
A monk should not accept, nor make others accept, nor approve
of others accepting the food that stimulates attachment. Bhāsyam Sutra 107 One should not accept himself or make others accept or approve of such acceptance in respect of stocked or hoarded food. 2.108 savvāmagamdham parinnāya, ņirāmagamdho parivvae.
One should comprehend and give up addiction to all kinds of
food, and live an unaddicted life of an Ascetic. Bhāsyam Sūtra 108 The acceptance of special food prepared and stocked for close relatives, such as sons and daughters is despicable. Therefore, the monk should discern and avoid the despicable food, * comprehend it as addiction to food, and source of possession. Thus being unaddicted to food, he should live a life of non-possession." 68 cm
