Digambar monk

A Digambara monk can carry three things with him: A monk does not cook or prepare his food himself, nor even pluck the fruit and the like from trees and shrubs which are endowed with life. He is not in a position in the beginning to refrain from taking the food prepared by the householder, which, by the way, is prepared in full conformity with the rules of purity and dharma, but he aspires some day to escape even from this much contamination of his soul, and actually does so when omniscience is obtained. After which a monk is said to be rid of the necessity to discharge excrement, and thus no longer carries the gourd which was necessary till then. The remaining accouterments of the saintly life, namely, the feather-whisk and sacred books, are also not required by the Omniscient Being, as He does not sit or tread on the ground, and as His physical body itself become characterised by many auspicious and wonderful marks.
 * 1) A feather-whisk (picchī) – implement of compassion,
 * 2) A water-pot (kamaņdalu) – implement of purity, and
 * 3) Scriptural treatise (śāstra) – implement of knowledge.

In his book "Sannyāsa Dharma", Champat Rai Jain writes:"The saint is not allowed to bathe. For that will be fixing his attention on the body. There is no question of dirt or untidiness. He has no time to think of bathing or of cleaning his teeth. He has to prepare himself for the greatest contest in his career, namely, the struggle against Death, and cannot afford to waste his time and opportunity in attending to the beautification and embellishment of his outward person. Nay, he knows fully that death appears only in the form of the physical person which is a compound and, as such, liable by nature to dissolution and disintegration."
