## Ratnakaranḍaka Śrāvakācāra

A man, while going to Hastināpura, accidentally crushed a rat with his foot and died. Due to the merit he had accumulated through his devotion to worship, he was born as Mahārdikadeva in the Saudharma heaven. He remembered his past life through his knowledge of the past and, marking his crown with the sign of a frog, came to pay homage to Vardhamāna Svāmi. He was seen by Śroṇika. Then, Gautama Svāmi asked him about the reason for the frog mark on his crown. He then narrated his past life story. Hearing this, all the people were inspired to perform acts of worship with even greater devotion. || 30 ||

Now, the five transgressions of the Vaiyāvṛtya, which is the act of offering food to a monk, are: disrespect, forgetfulness, and envy. || 31 ||

These five transgressions of the Vaiyāvṛtya are mentioned in the first half of the Ārya. They are as follows:

* **Haritapidhananidhāna:** Offering food covered with a green lotus leaf or similar.
* **Anādarah:** Lack of respect for the one who offers the food.
* **Asmaran:** Forgetting to offer food to the monk at the appropriate time, or forgetting whether one has offered food or not.
* **Matsaratvam:** Envy towards the giver and their generosity. || 31 ||

This is the fourth chapter of the Upāsakādhyayanaṭīkā, composed by Prabhācandra, a commentary on the work of Samantabhadra Svāmi.
