(b) śodheḥ pāram paryantamañcati yat tat pārāñcikam, apaścimam
prāyaścittam: The highest prāyaścitta; (c) yena tapasā pāram prāpitena añcyate: śrīśramanasanghena
pujyate tat pārāñcikam pārāñcitam vā abhidhiyate: the carrying
out of which evokes respect from the monks.
This prāyaścitta was divided into 'āśātanā' and 'pratisevanā', the latter being further sub-divided into 'duşta', 'pramatta' and 'anyonyakāraka.66
The 'āśātanā pārāñcika' was involved when a monk condemned the Tirthařkaras, or the Sangha or the Canon, or the ācārya, or the gañadhara or the 'mahardhika'.
The 'pratisevanā pārāñciya' had three subdivisions: 67 (a) Duşta: It was either 'kaşāyaduşta' or 'vişayaduşta'.
In the former case, the monk committed a deadly injury to his superior.
In the latter, he raped the nuns of his own or other sects, or the lady who had given him a lodging (sejjāyarī).
The 'pārāñcika' was also prescribed if the monk was involved in killing the king (rāyavahago), or enjoyed the queen (rāyaggamahisipadisevaö). (b) Pramattapārāñcika:
(1) Carelessness regarding passions, (2) Carelessness regarding improper talk (vikahā), (3) Carelessness pertaining to the sense-organs, (4) Carelessness in sleep.
(c) Anyonyapārāñcika: For homo-sexuality.
Other Division:
That by which the monk was expelled out of the kula was 'kulapārāñcika', that which called for his driving out of the gaña was 'ganapārāñcika', while that in which he was asked to go out of the Sangha was 'Sanghapārāñcika'.68
