ॐ (५) बल, वह मानसिक बल को इतना विकसित कर लेता है कि भयंकर उपसर्ग आने पर भी वह उनसे
चलायमान नहीं होता है। जो साधक जिनकल्प-प्रतिमा स्वीकार करता है, उसके लिए उक्त पाँचों कसौटियों में सफल होना आवश्यक है। (६) अल्पाधिकरण-जो उपशान्त कलह की उदीरणा तथा नये कलहों का उद्भावक नहीं हो। (७) धृतिमान्-जो रति-अरति में समभाव रखे एवं अनुकूल-प्रतिकूल उपसर्गों को सहन करने में धैर्यवान् हो। (८) वीर्यसम्पन्न-स्वीकृत साधना में निरन्तर उत्साह बनाये रखें।
Elaboration-Ekal-vihar pratima is to resolve to do spiritual practices ! in solitude and to move alone after seeking due permission from the guru and Sangh. An ascetic can move alone under three conditions—(1) on accepting ekal-vihar pratima, (2) on accepting Jina-kalp and (3) on accepting Masiki or other Bhikshu pratimas (special ascetic practices).
Here eight qualifications of accepting ekal-vihar pratima have been listed—(1) Shraddhavan-person with unwavering righteousness and impeccable conduct. (2) Satyavadi-resolute in observing accepted vows and veracious in stating the fundamentals propagated by the Arhat. 4 (3) Medhavi—sagacious and acutely sharp and intelligent in absorbing knowledge from scriptures. (4) Bahushrut-scholar of at least nine to ten
Purvas. (5) Shaktiman—there are five yardsticks of being powerful4 (i) Austerity related : should not be overwhelmed by hunger even if he
does not get food for six months. (ii) Sattva related : the practice to win over fear and sleep is called sattva. For this the aspirant has to practice doing one night Kayotsarg progressively first at the place of stay, then outside the place of stay, then at some crossing, then in some abandoned y house and lastly at cremation ground. (iii) Sutra-bhaavana : the aspirant acquires with the help of Sutra-paravartan (repetition of aphorisms or mantra chanting) the capacity to know different units of time, such as Uchchhavas (one exhale), Ghadi (quarter of an hour) and Muhurt (48 minutes), without the aid of movement of the sun or other such measure. (iv) Ekatva : the aspirant attains self realization and experiences that soul is an indivisible unit of sentience different from the physical body. (v) Bal : the aspirant develops so great a mental strength that gravest of afflictions fails to move him. It is necessary for an aspirant who desires to accept the Jina-kalp pratima to pass the aforesaid five tests. (6) Alpadhikaran--an aspirant who does not fructify or precipitate the pacified karmas responsible for strife and does not trigger new strife. (7) Dhritiman—an aspirant who is detached in indulgence and non-indulgence (rati-arati) as well as patient in enduring
