Opening lines

कुछ समय पूर्व दिगम्बर आम्नाय में भट्टारकों का एकछत्र राज्य था। इनमें कुछ उदासीन प्रवृत्ति के धारी थे तो कुछ ऐश्वर्य के लोभी भी रहे।

The summary

लेखक के अनुसार स्त्रियों द्वारा जिन-प्रतिमा का अभिषेक, प्रक्षाल और पंचामृत अभिषेक शुद्ध दिगम्बर आम्नाय के विरुद्ध है। ये प्रथाएँ ऐश्वर्य-लोभी भट्टारकों से चलीं और आज कुछ त्यागी इन्हें बढ़ावा देते हैं। घरों में प्रतिमाएँ रखना अविनय है। स्त्रियों को मुनि-स्पर्श निषिद्ध है, अतः प्रतिमा-स्पर्श और अभिषेक भी निषिद्ध है।
