The Pali term "yathasantatika" means the one who has the habit of only dwelling at a spot attributed to him .
"yathasanta" = "spot attributed for dwelling"
When this practice is conveniently done, with constancy and diligence, with the determination of not breaking it, we say that there is yathasantikayga (state of mind arising out of dwelling on a spot that is attributed to oneself).
When a bhikkhu (responsible or having more seniority) tells another bhikkhu, who practises the yathasantatika dhutayga: "This spot is yours, please do settle down here!", the bhikkhu is well contented with that spot, without searching for another.
According to restrictions, there do exist three kinds of practitioners of the yathasantatika dhutayga:
- ukkattha yathasantatika, the noble practitioner of the yathasantatika dhutayga
- majjhima yathasantatika, the intermediate practitioner of the yathasantatika dhutayga
- mudu yathasantatika, the ordinary practitioner of the yathasantatika dhutayga
