___ (4) Fourth Pratima-If a bed is already made, for example that of rock wooden plank (etc.), in the upashraya an ascetic wants to stay, he may use it after seeking permission from the owner. If there is no bed available there, he should spend the night sitting in utkatuk, lotus or any other yogic posture. This is the fourth code. ___121. An ascetic observing any one of these codes should not criticize or belittle other ascetics who follow other codes. Instead he should think that the ascetics who observe any one of these four codes and he, himself who also observes one of these codes are all followers of the order of the Jina. This way all ascetics should lead their life with mutual respect.
विवेचन-वृत्तिकार ने संस्तारक सम्बन्धी इन चार प्रतिज्ञाओं के अलग-अलग नाम व अर्थ किये हैं-(१) उद्दिष्टा-तृण फलक आदि में से जिस किसी एक संस्तारक का नामोल्लेख किया है, वही मिलने पर ग्रहण करूँगा, दूसरी नहीं। (२) प्रेक्ष्या-जिसका पहले नामोल्लेख किया था, वही यदि उपाश्रय में देलूँगा, तब ग्रहण करूँगा, दूसरा नहीं। (३) विद्यमाना-यदि उद्दिष्ट और दृष्ट संस्तारक शय्यातर के घर या उपाश्रय में मिलेगा तो ग्रहण करूँगा, अन्य स्थान से लाकर उस पर शयन नहीं करूँगा। (४) यथासंस्तृतरूपा-यदि उपाश्रय में सहज रूप से रखा या बिछा हुआ पाट
पत्थर की शिला आदि संस्तारक मिलेगा तो ग्रहण करूँगा, अन्यथा नहीं। (वृत्ति पत्रांक ३७२) 29 Elaboration—The commentator (Vritti) has given different names
and meanings to these four resolutions—(1) Uddishta (desired)--I will accept a bed only if I get a predetermined type of bed out of the types mentioned here and no other. (2) Prekshya (seen)—I will accept the bed only if I see the said predetermined type of bed in the upashraya and no other. (3) Vidyamana (existing)—I will accept the bed only if I find the predetermined and available bed lying in the upashraya or residence of the householder who offered stay and not bring one from outside for use. (4) Yathasanstritarupa (generally available)—If I find an ordinarily lying plank, rock or other type of bed then only I will accept it otherwise not. (Vritti leaf 372)
