अब प्रश्न यह उपस्थित होता है कि 'प्रतिपूर्ण पौषध से सूत्रकार का क्या तात्पर्य है ? उत्तर में कहा जाता है कि पूर्वोक्त आहार, शरीर-सत्कार, अब्रह्य और व्यापार का परित्याग कर पौषध व्रत का भली भाँति पालन करने से सूत्रकार का तात्पर्य यह है-“पोषयति पुष्णाति वा कुशल-धर्मान् शुभसमाचारान्, प्राणातिपातविरमणादीन्, यद्यस्तात्तत्तस्मादाहारादित्यागानुष्ठानं भोजन-देहसत्काराब्रह्म-व्यापार-परिहारकरणमिह प्रक्रमे पोषध इत्येवं भाष्यते । पोषं धत्ते-पुष्णाति धर्मानिति निरुक्तात् । तत उपवसनम्-उपवासोऽवस्थानम्, तत्प्रतिपद्यानु-पश्चात् पालयिता-अनुष्ठाता भवति-संपद्यते, नत्वग्ङ्गीकृत्यैव परित्यजति ।” अर्थात् जिसके करने से धर्म-पुष्टि और कुशलानुष्ठान की वृद्धि होती है वही पौषध कहलाता है | उसके पूर्वोक्त-(१) आहार-पौषध-एक देश (अंश) या सब आहार का परित्याग करना, (२) शरीर-सत्कार- एक देश या सारे शरीर के सत्कार का परित्याग करना, (३) अब्रह्मचर्य-एक देश या सब प्रकार के अब्रह्मचर्य का परित्याग करना और (४) व्यापार-पौषध-एक देश या सारे व्यापार का परित्याग करना-चार भेद हैं । इनका अन्य ग्रन्थों में विस्तार पूर्वक वर्णन किया गया है । जिज्ञासुओं को वहीं से जानना चाहिए 'समवायाङ्ग सूत्र' के एकादशवें स्थान की वृत्ति में पौषध के विषय में लिखा है “पोषं-पुष्टिं कुशलधर्माणां धत्ते-यदाहारपरित्यागादिकमनुष्ठानं तत्पौषधम्, ते नो पवसनम् -अवस्थान-महोरात्र यावदिति पौषधोपवास इति । अथवा पौषधं-पर्वदिनमष्टम्यादिस्तत्रोपवासः-अभक्तार्थः पौषधोपवास इति व्युत्पत्तिः । प्रवृत्तिस्वस्य शब्दस्याहार-शरीरसत्कारा-ब्रह्मचर्य-व्यापार-परिवर्तनेष्विति । तत्र-पौषधोपवासे निरतः-आसक्तः पौषधोपवास-निरतः इत्यादि । अर्थात् जिसके करने से कुशल धर्मानुष्ठान की पुष्टि होती हो उसी को पौषध व्रत कहते हैं । ___यह चौथी प्रतिमा पूर्वोक्त गुणों से युक्त और पूर्वोक्त प्रतिमाओं के समय सहित चार मास की होती है । इसमें पौषध और सामायिक व्रतों की विशेषतया सफलता होती है ।
अब सूत्रकार पांचवीं प्रतिमा का विषय कहते हैं:
अहावरा पंचमा उवासग-पडिमा । सव्व-धम्म-रुई यावि भवति । तस्स णं बहूई सीलवय....जाव सम्म अणु-पालित्ता भवति । से णं सामाइयं....तहेव, से णं चउद्दसी....तहेव, से णं । एग-राइयं उवासग-पडिमं सम्म अणुपालित्ता भवति । से णं

## Sixth Stage

This is the sixth stage, with commentary in Hindi.

Now the question arises, what does the Sutrakar mean by "perfect medicine"? The answer is that the Sutrakar means the proper observance of the medicine fast by abandoning the aforementioned food, bodily care, non-celibacy, and business. "It nourishes and strengthens good conduct and auspicious news, such as refraining from violence, etc. Therefore, the abandonment of food, etc., and the practice of bodily care, celibacy, and business avoidance are called medicine in this context. It is said that it nourishes and strengthens the Dharma. Therefore, fasting is a state of being, and one who observes it becomes a follower and practitioner, not just a mere acceptor and abandoner." In other words, anything that strengthens Dharma and good conduct is called medicine. There are four aspects to it: (1) Food medicine - abandoning all or some food, (2) Bodily care medicine - abandoning all or some bodily care, (3) Non-celibacy medicine - abandoning all or some forms of non-celibacy, and (4) Business medicine - abandoning all or some business. These are described in detail in other texts. Curious individuals should learn about them from there. The commentary on the eleventh chapter of the Samavayanga Sutra says, "It nourishes and strengthens good conduct - the practice of abandoning food, etc., is medicine. It is not just a state of being - it is a fast lasting a day and night. Or, medicine is a fast on the eighth day of the fortnight, etc., and it is a fast without food. This is the etymology. The word "practice" refers to changes in food, bodily care, celibacy, and business. Therefore, one who is engaged in the medicine fast is called a medicine fast practitioner, etc." In other words, anything that strengthens good conduct is called a medicine fast. This fourth stage is four months long, with the aforementioned qualities and the time of the previous stages. It is particularly successful in medicine and Samayik fasts.

Now the Sutrakar speaks of the fifth stage:

The fifth stage is the Uvasaga-Padima. It is as if all Dharma is flourishing. It has many virtues... until it becomes perfectly observed. It is Samayik... similarly, it is the fourteenth day... similarly, it is... It is the Uvasaga-Padima observed perfectly for one year. It is...
