## Trivarnika Achar. 185 What is stated in the false scriptures by the greedy and lustful Brahmins, that should not be given, such as goats, women, and other things that are violent, like footwear. || 143 || Very greedy Brahmins have written in false scriptures that one should give goats, women, etc. as donations. This should not be done. Also, do not give violent things like footwear. || 143 || ## Recipients of Donations. One should spend their wealth in these seven places: building a Chaitya, building a Chaityaalaya, writing scriptures, renovating scriptures, and the four Sanghas. Otherwise, their wealth will be useless. || 144 || One should spend their wealth on building a Chaitya, building a Chaityaalaya, writing scriptures, renovating scriptures, and the four Sanghas. These are the seven places where a Shravak should spend their wealth. Otherwise, their wealth will be useless. || 144 || ## Praise for the Generous. Sripena Maharaja, by giving food to the Charan Munis, Aditya Gati and Arinjaya, was born in the first excellent Bhogabhoomi. After enjoying heavenly pleasures many times, he finally attained the position of Shantinath Tirthankara and attained liberation. Here, only the cause is shown, meaning he did not become a Tirthankara just by giving food, but he attained such merit and position through the power of food donation, which enabled him to bind the nature of a Tirthankara. If he had not given food, he would not have received that merit and position, which would have enabled him to bind the nature of a Tirthankara. Therefore, even in his position as a Tirthankara, food donation is the cause. A daughter-in-law of the Devakul king used to give medicine donations. She cured a Muni by giving him medicine. As a result, she was reborn as the daughter of a wealthy merchant named Vrishabhasena and received the Siddhi called Sarvoshadhi, which cured all diseases like fever, diarrhea, etc. A pig, in his previous birth, had the intention of building a residence for the Munis and protected a Muni in his pig form. Due to the good results of these two actions, he was reborn as a Siddhi-bearing Deva in the Saudharma heaven. Govinda, a cowherd, worshipped the scriptures and gave them to the Munis. Due to the influence of this donation, he became a Muni named Kaundesh and crossed the ocean of knowledge of the twelve Angas. These are four examples of the four types of donations. There are many others, but only four are mentioned here. || 145 || 24

________________ त्रैवर्णिकाचार।' १८५ मिथ्याशास्त्रेषु यत्प्रोक्तं ब्राह्मणैर्लोभलम्पटैः। तन्न देयमजास्यादि पादत्राणादि हिंसकम् ॥ १४३ ॥ अत्यन्त लोभी ब्राह्मणोंने खोटे खोटे शास्त्रोंमें जो बकरी स्त्री आदिका दान देना लिखा है वह भी न दे तथा पैरके जूते आदि हिंसक चीजें भी न दे ॥ १४३ ॥ दानके पात्र । चैत्ये चैत्यालये शास्त्रे चतुःसंघेषु सप्तसु । सुक्षेत्रेषु व्ययः कार्यों नो चेल्लक्ष्मीनिरर्थका ॥ १४४ ॥ जिन प्रतिमाके बनवानेमें, जिनमंदिरके बंधवानेमें, शास्त्रोंके लिखवाने तथा जीर्णोद्धार करानेमें और चारों संघोंमें-इस तरह इन सात स्थानोंमें श्रावकगण अपनी लक्ष्मीका व्यय करे; वरना उनकी लक्ष्मी व्यर्थ है-निष्फल है ॥ १४४ ॥ ___ दानी प्रशंसा। भोगित्वाऽयन्तशान्तिप्रभुपदमुदयं संयतेऽनप्रदानाच्छीपेणो रुनिषेधाद्धनपतितनया प्राप सवौषद्धिम् । प्राक्तजन्मार्पवासावनशुभकरणाच्छूकरः स्वर्गमत्र्यं कौण्डेशः पुस्तका वितरणविधिनाऽप्यागमाम्भोधिपारम् ॥ १४५ ॥ श्रीपेण महाराजने आदित्यगति और अरिंजय नामके चारणमुनियोंको आहारदान दिया था, जिसके प्रभावसे वे प्रथम उत्तम भोगभूमिमें उत्पन्न हुए । फिर कई बार स्वर्गीय सुखौंको भोग कर अन्तमें शान्तिनाथ तीर्थकरका पद पाकर मुक्तिको गये। यहांपर केवल कारणमात्र दिखाया है अर्थात् वे आहार देनेसे ही तीर्थकर नहीं हो गये थे, किंतु उनने आहार-दानके बलसे ऐसे पुण्य और पदकी प्राप्ति की थी, जिसकी वजहसे उनने तीर्थंकर प्रकृतिका बन्ध किया था। यदि वे आहार-दान न देते तो उन्हें वह पुण्य और पद नहीं मिलता कि, जिस पदमें जिस पुण्योदयसे वे तीर्थकर प्रकृतिका बन्धकर सके थे। इसलिए उनके तीर्थकर पदमें भी परपरासे आहारदानही कारण है । देवकुल राजाके यहां एक कन्या बुहारी दिया करती थी। उसने औषध-दान देकर एक मुनिको नीरोग किया था। उसके प्रभावसे वह मरकर शेठ धनपतिकी वृषभसेना नामकी पुत्री हुई और उसे वहां ज्वर, अतिसार आदि रोगोंको दूर करनेवाली सर्वोषधि नामकी ऋद्धि प्राप्त हुई । एक. शूकरने अपने पहिले भवमें मुनियोंके लिए वसतिका बनवानेका आभप्राय किया था और उसने अपने उसी शूकर भवमें एक मुनिकी रक्षा की थी। इन दोनों कार्योंमें जो उसके शुभ परिणाम हुए थे उन परिणामोंसे वह मरकर सौधर्म-स्वर्गमें एक ऋद्धिधारी देव हुआ था । तथा गोविंदनामका एक ग्वालिया था । उसने शास्त्रकी पूजाकर वह शास्त्र मुनियोंको मेंट किया था। इसलिए उस दानके प्रभावसे वह कौंडेश नामका मुनि होकर द्वादशांग श्रुतज्ञान-महासागरका पारगामी हो गया था। इस तरह चार प्रकारके दानोंमें ये चार प्रसिद्ध हुए हैं। इनके अलावा और भी बहुतसे हुए हैं । उनमेंसे केवल चारके नाम दिखाये हैं ॥ १४५॥ । २४
