(7) Kāpotikā-Same use as above, or to carry the ill monk, (8) Pippalaka-Razor; (9) Sūcī—A needle (to stitch clothes), (10) Arī—to stitch the soles of shoes, (11) Nakharadana-Nail-cutter,

(14) Rare articles which were not available in the region where the monk wanted to go,

(19) Paratīrthika upakarana--The requisites and an apparel of the heretics. Jaina monks were advised to put this on when they were in a heretical region in order to seek food and drink.
(20) Gulikā—It is explained as the 'valkala' by the Višeşacūrņi. These were to be used by the Jaina monks when they were touring in the region where the worshippers of Siva (Pandaranga) were predominant, as for instance, in the caves and mountains.
Another meaning suggested is that of a pill. In cases of shortage of water, the 'gitārtha' told the agītārtha that he had used a 'tuvaravşkşaguţikā' got from other travellers to purify water. Thus, he pretended that he used pure water so that the 'agītārtha' might not suspect the action of the 'gītārtha'.
