Twelfth vow describes the virtue of sharing the food and provision with Atithi, meaning Jain saint who may come on any uncertain date to fetch food and water. To share with religious saints, who have renounced everything; who partake innocent inanimate food, water, sweets, other eatables; who wear simple white clothes, use wooden pots and utensils, use woolen shawl, woolen brush, wooden bench, wooden plank or cot to spread the mattress; medicine etc. I cherish desire of giving devotedly such things to the Jain saints. With my such faith, when the opportunity arises of giving such innocent food, water and provisions to the saints, may my feelings of sharing be pure. Of such twelfth vow of sharing with Atithi, there are five blemishes which are worth knowing but not worth doing, I say them the way they are : Mixing animate – inanimate things while giving Covering inanimate with animate things while giving Giving something, which is spoilt, fermented or stale To ask others to give, inspite of being personally able to give Have been unduly proud, after donating. May my such sins be dissolved.
