Appendix - 1 Child Understanding - Meaning and Translation
**Verse 1**
Whoever holds the direction (Digvirman) in mind, gives protection to all beings.
The world is spreading, falling into the ocean of existence. || As per the saying ||
**Verse 2**
Similarly, the useless and purposeless punishment (Anarthadand) is the restraint of mind, speech, and body. The seed of that restraint is the Gunavrata. Similarly, the vow that is to be taken for life is called Desavakashik, which is a concise form of the Digvrat or the vow of direction, to be performed daily. The third Gunavrata is the Shikshavrata, although it is known as a Shikshavrata, it is considered a Gunavrata because it is beneficial to all vows. Therefore, it is said that there is no fault in considering it as a Gunavrata. || 4 ||
**Meaning:** The Digvirmanvrata, which is the restriction of going and coming in all directions, the Anarthadandvirmanvrata, which is the regulation of activities that lead to unnecessary sinful punishment for the soul, and the Desavakashikvrata, which is the concise form of all vows. These three vows are called Gunavratas because they are beneficial in observing the five basic vows. (4)
**Verse 3**
The enumeration of enjoyments, the Samayik, the Atithisambhag, and the Poshad are the four teachings. || 5 ||
**Verse 4**
It is said that the Shikshavrata is the teaching vow - The verse says - The enjoyment of food, etc., is to be enjoyed once. Similarly, the enjoyment of clothes, etc., is to be enjoyed repeatedly. The first Shikshavrata is to limit the number and quantity of these enjoyments. Similarly, the Gunavrata is also considered to be accepted for life. However, it is necessary to make it concise day by day, for the sake of daily practice. There is no fault in considering it as a Shikshavrata. Similarly, the Samayik, which is the practice of equanimity, is the second Shikshavrata. Similarly, the Atithisambhag, which is the giving of food, etc., to the worthy, whether a Sadhu or a Shravak, is the third Shikshavrata. Similarly, the Poshad, which is the strengthening of Dharma, is the fourth Shikshavrata. The method of this is "Savvau Aharposhan," etc. These four are called Shikshavrata. || 5 ||
**Meaning:** The regulation (concise form) of the objects of people and the world is the Bhogopabhog Virabhaye Vrata, the Samayikvrata, which is the practice of equanimity, free from attachment and aversion, the Atithisambhagvrata, which is the giving of gifts to worthy persons, whether a Sadhu or a Shravak, and the Poshadvrata, which is the four types of Poshad, which is the renunciation of food, etc. These four vows are called Shikshavrata because they are in the form of study.

**Verse 5**
In eagerness, in death, in the unbroken, and in the desire to live, there is no such thing as a western leaning. || 6 ||
**Verse 6**
The one who is free from attachment and aversion, who is at home, who is not afraid to build a house, if he dies in a foreign land, that story is a child's story. || 7 ||
