He wanders barefoot from place to place except for the four months of the rainy season. A Jain monk is not a priest; rather he is himself a worshipped one.

These three are mentioned is the three lines of the Namokar Mantra. In the Digambar tradition, a junior monk can be a: Ailak: they use one piece of cloth, Kshullak: they may use two pieces of cloth.
