## Pinḍaniryukti: An Observation
**129**
There is a mention of the atonement-method in a symbolic form in the *Bṛhatkalpabhāṣya* as well, albeit very briefly. The *Niśīthabhāṣya* also describes atonements in some places. The commentary on the *Piṇḍaviśuddhiprakaraṇa* mentions the atonements for faults related to begging in a classified form, collectively. There, the *mūlakarma* is considered the most serious.
Jain Ācāryas have mentioned four *guru*, four *laghu*, *gurumās*, *laghumās*, and *paṇa* etc. atonements symbolically, which the *muni* who performs the atonement carries out in the form of *tapa*. Here, the atonement-method related to all faults related to begging is being described.
**Ādhākarma:** An atonement of four *guru* is incurred upon taking *ādhākarma* food. Its *tapa* form of atonement is fasting.
**Auddeśika:** The different types of *auddeśika* and its atonement are being presented through a chart.
