SOITTITUI WALUTIN
Of these acts of indiscipline, some are absolutely prohibited. These include the ones that are directly related to ahimsa, viz. eating uncooked food, eating after sunset, etc: Some others have been formulated with a view to enhancing discipline and protecting celibacy. These acts may become acceptable in special conditions and circumstances. Some examples are-purgation is not proscribed for an ailing ascetic; putting collyrium in eyes to enhance beauty is prohibited but is allowed as a treatment for eye ailments; and the use of umbrella and sandals is allowed in old age.
According to Acharya Bhadrabahu this chapter has been taken from the third chapter of the ninth Purva.
