CREMES SCAM
OT
All the monks except Suvrat muni observed fast on that day. Muni Suvrat remembered the taste of modakas which he used to eat as a householder. He did not observe fast and, with the Acharya's permission, went on his rounds for alms.
The muni went to every house looking for modakas, but was not given any. He rambled on in search of modakas from afternoon until evening. The feeling to eat them grew so intense that he could not control his sense organs.
He continued to wander on the roads. It became dark, but all that was irrelevant to him. Like a mad man he was shouting into the night for the modakas that obscured all other thoughts.

Soinika When a lay-follower named Jinbhadra heard these words, he looked out through his window and was stunned to see a muni in such a state.
