________________ RESTRAINTS THE ESSENCE OF JAIN PRACTICE 127 Digvirati, which stipulates limiting the areas of operation in different directions, ii) Deshvirati, which stipulates further restricting the areas of operation for a certain period, iii) Anarthadandvirati, which stipulates averting the purposeless violence, iv) Samayik, which stipulates exercising of equanimity, v) Paushadhopavas, which stipulates practicing of the monastic code, vi) Bhogopabhogpariman, which stipulates laying restrictions on the use and consumption of different articles and vii) Atithisamvibhag, which stipulates serving the monks, nuns and others with the articles of use. Inclusive of the five minor restraints, there are thus twelve restraints for the laymen. The order in which the subsidiary restraints are mentioned here is as per Digambar tradition. In Shwetambar tradition Bhogopabhogpariman is mentioned as second, in place of Deshvirati, while Deshvirati is put in the fifth place after Samayik. There is significance behind that order. The seven subsidiary restraints can be divided into two categories. The first three are termed as auxiliary, while the remaining four are called disciplinary. The auxiliary restraints need to be observed for the entire life, while the disciplinary ones are to be practiced from time to time to a certain extent. Bhogopabhog-pariman falls in the former category, while Deshvirati belongs to the disciplinary category. मारणान्तिकी संलेखनां जोषिता // 7-17 // 7.17: Maranantikim Sanlekhana Joshita (The laymen may also observe the fast unto death.)
