## Chapter Nine
[343]
There is no contradiction in saying that ignorance-based restraint is in relation to the absence of knowledge, while knowledge-based restraint is in relation to knowledge.
8853. It is said that the five causes of *sanvara* are: secrecy, council, dharma, non-expectation, and victory over restraint. Now, the cause of *sanvara* called *charitra* should be stated. Therefore, to show its different aspects, the following sutra is stated:
Samayika, Chhedopasthapana, Pariharavishuddhi, Sukshmasampray, and Yayakhyata are the five types of *charitra*. ||18||
8854. Doubt: It has been stated that *sanyama* is included in the ten types of *dharma*, and that is *charitra*. Therefore, mentioning it again is pointless?
Resolution: It is not pointless, because even though *charitra* is included in *dharma*, it is mentioned again at the end to show that it is the direct cause of liberation.
Samayika has been mentioned before.
Doubt: Where?
Resolution: While explaining the sutra "Digdeshanarthadandaviratisamayika".
It is of two types: fixed-time and unfixed-time. *Swadhyaya* etc. are fixed-time *samayika*, and *iryapatha* etc. are unfixed-time *samayika*.
The proper reaction, i.e., the acceptance of vows again, after the abandonment of the practice of *anarthaprabandha* caused by negligence, i.e., the abandonment of the non-vows like violence etc., is called *Chhedopasthapana charitra*. Or, the cessation of alternatives is called *Chhedopasthapana charitra*.
Cessation from killing living beings is called *parihar*. The *charitra* that has purity associated with it is called *Pariharavishuddhi charitra*.
The *charitra* in which *kṣaya* becomes extremely subtle is called *Sukshmasampray charitra*.
The *charitra* that is characterized by the expectation of the state of the self, as it is due to the complete pacification or destruction of all *mohaniya* karmas, is called *Athyakhyata charitra*.
It is called *Athyakhyata* because it is not attained before the pacification or destruction of *mohaniya* karmas, even though it has been stated by those who practice the previous *charitra*.
The word "atha" means "afterwards", so it means that it appears after the complete pacification or destruction of *mohaniya* karmas.
