Notes Sāmāiya, good conduct, urgètriefava H*T:(2) desăvagāsiya; (3) Posahovavāsa, observing fasts on the 8th day, 14th day of each fortnight, and 15th day, i, e., the full-moon-day (gourhrferuft) and the new-moon-day (183-BTHTATEZIT). Thus, the Jain layman is asked to observe six fasts in a month; and (4) atihisanivibhāga, offering charities to guests ( atithi ) or to pious men of Jain sect, such as monks, nuns, laymen and laywomen, अतिथिसंविभागो नाम अतिथयः साधवः साध्व्यः श्रावकाः श्राविकाच, एतेषु गृहमुपागतेषु भवरया अभ्युत्यानासनदानपादप्रमार्जननमस्कारादिभिरचयित्वा यथाविभवशक्ति अन्नपानवलौषधालयादिप्रदानेन सविभागः कार्यः To these twelve vows the texts always add as the last vow of the life a series of continuous fasts,
ARETHANORATTETTE A TITIGHT, determined self-mortification by the last mortal emaciation. Note that the monk's vows are called Agha; while those of a layman are called Baa. The monk observes these vows in an absolute, perfect manner, as for instance, abstaining from doing injury even to so-called inanimate objects like stone while the householder cannot practise them in such a manner and is therefore allowed to lessen cr limit the sphere of his obeservances." We are indebted for this explanation to Dr P. L. Vaidya.
