## Chapter 426
**Verse 18:** The **Dvikavali** method, where there are forty-eight **upvasas** (fasts) and forty-eight **paranas** (breaking of fasts), is said to be **Dvikavali**. It brings happiness to both worlds.
**Verse 69:** The **Muktavali** method, where there are one to five and four to one **bindus** (dots), is known as **Muktavali**. It is known as **Muktavali** like a string of pearls.
**Verse 70:** The immediate result of this is that it adorns the person with the qualities of all beings, and in the end, it leads to the attainment of the **Siddhalaaya** (the abode of the liberated souls).
**Verse 71:** The **Ratnavali** method, where there are one to five and five to one **bindus**, is known as **Ratnavali**. Its result is the attainment of many qualities like a string of jewels.
**Explanation:**
**Dvikavali:** This method involves a pattern of two **bindus** (dots) representing one **upvasa** (fast) and one **parana** (breaking of fast). The total number of **bindus** is 98, which means 98 **upvasas** and 98 **paranas**. This method is said to bring happiness to both the physical and spiritual worlds.
**Muktavali:** This method involves a pattern of **bindus** that starts with one and increases to five, then decreases back to one. The total number of **bindus** is 25, which means 25 **upvasas** and 9 **paranas**. This method is said to be like a string of pearls, and it leads to the attainment of the **Siddhalaaya**.
**Ratnavali:** This method involves a pattern of **bindus** that starts with one and increases to five, then decreases back to one. The total number of **bindus** is 25, which means 25 **upvasas** and 10 **paranas**. This method is said to be like a string of jewels, and it leads to the attainment of many qualities.
**Note:** The terms **upvasa**, **parana**, **bindus**, **Dvikavali**, **Muktavali**, and **Ratnavali** are all Jain terms.
