Explanation : Gunavrata is so named because the observance of it increases the merit and the power of the five anuvratas (vows). The first gunavrata enhances the value of the first minor vow called ahimsa, in particular. The gunavratas and siksavratas together are called uttara (subsidiary) vratas, the first five being called mula (principal) vratas. The ten directions are : North, South, East, West, North-east, North-West, South-east, South-west, Zenith and Nadir. चराचराणां जीवानां विमईननिवर्तनात् । तप्तायोगोलकल्पस्य सततं गृहिणोऽप्यदः ।। २ ।। Meaning : Just as a heated ball of iron destroys living organisms, mobile or immobile, wherever it is 60 Yoga Shashtta Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
