Sandhi-Proper time for seeking food. He should ascertain the time for seeking alms. He should find out about the right time when he can get alms from a household. It is essential for an ascetic to know about the time of alms-seeking. In the Agam-period the almsseeking time was believed to be the third quarter of the day. In the later period this gradually shifted to the second quarter of the day. Besides this, the proper alms-seeking time varies according to place and time and is decided accordingly. Detailed description of almsseeking time has been discussed in the 5th chapter of Dashavaikalik Sutra.
Some commentators have interpreted sandhi as breachaccumulation being a breach in discipline-and related this sentence with the preceding chapter which deals with collection and accumulation.
Arya, arya-prajna and arya-darshi are adjectives for Shraman. 'Arya' means one who is virtuous or has noble conduct. According to Acharya Sheelank he who is pure of heart and is virtuous is called arya. One who is altruistic is called arya-prajna. One who always strives for virtues or the right path is called arya-drishta.
Savvaamagandham-Faulty or unacceptable food. 'Aam' means unripe. In books on ayurveda raw or unripe fruit or grain is called 'aam'. In Pali texts 'aam' has been used for sin. In Jain canons and their commentaries 'aam' and 'aamagandha' words have been used at many places for food that is faulty, unprocessed, impure and not acceptable for an ascetic. At some places attachment or yearning has also been called aamagandh.
