जाय तो यह क्रम आठवीं, नौवीं आदि प्रतिमाओं में भी मानना पड़ेगा और इस क्रम से बारहवीं प्रतिमा का समय पूरा बारह मास होगा । वृत्तिकार भी इस विषय इसी प्रकार लिखते हैं । जैसे:
“सप्तमासिक्यां प्रतिमायां समाप्तिं नीतायां वर्षावास-योग्यं क्षेत्रं प्रतिलेखयति । वर्षावासयोग्यमुपधिं चोत्पादयति । स च नियमादगच्छति, प्रतिबद्धो भवति । सर्वा अप्येता अष्टभिर्मासैः समाप्यन्ते । तिसृणां प्रतिमानां प्रतिक्रमणा प्रतिपादना चैकस्मिन्नेव वर्षे भवति, षड्भिर्मासैः परिक्रमणा षड्भिरेव प्रतिपत्तिरिति कृत्वा । यावत्प्रमाणा (प्रतिमाता ?) तावत्प्रमाणैव परिक्रमणावगन्तव्या । मासिक्यां मासं यावत्परिक्रमणा । एवं सप्तमासिक्यां सप्तमासं यावत्परिक्रमणेति भावः । यावता कालेन परिक्रमणा भवति तावान्परिक्रमण-कालः । तिसृणामुपरि वर्तमानानां चतुर्थ्यादिप्रति-मानामन्यस्मिन्वर्षे परिक्रमणान्यस्मिन्वर्षे च प्रतिपत्तिरिति । शोभनेष द्रव्य-क्षेत्र-काल-भावेषु वर्तमानेष प्रतिमाः प्रतिपद्यन्ते । तिस्रः सप्त-रात्रिं-दिवाः प्रतिमाः । एवमेक-विंशतिरात्रिंदिवा परिक्रमिता तावद्भिरेव प्रतिमा परिसमाप्ताश्च भवन्ति । एतावताऽष्टमी-नवमी-दशम्यः प्रतिमाः एकविंशतितमे दिवसे परिपूरिता भवन्ति । एकादशी त्रिभिरहोरात्रैः समाप्यतेऽन्त्येन षष्ठेन समं द्वादशी एकरात्रिं-दिवा । अत्र रात्रिंदिव-शब्देन केवला रात्रिरेव ग्राह्या, अन्यथा एक-रात्रिकीति सूत्रेण विरोधात् । चतुर्भि-रहोरात्रैरन्त्याष्टेन निष्ठिता भवति ।” अर्थ स्पष्ट कर दिया गया ।
प्रतिमा-धारी मुनि मानसिक और शारीरिक बल से परिपूर्ण होता है और इसीलिए इन प्रतिमाओं का सम्यक्तया पालन कर सकता है । इस प्रकार शारीरिक कष्टों को सहन कर वह आत्मिक-बल प्राप्त करता है । यह उसके लिए श्रेय है, क्योंकि संसार के सब बलों मे आत्मिक-बल ही सबसे बढ़कर है । इससे सम्यग्-दर्शन-रूप बल प्राप्त कर वह सम्यक्-चारित्र की आराधना भली भांति कर सकता है |
अब सूत्रकार प्रतिमाओं के आवश्यक कर्तव्यों का वर्णन करते हुए कहते हैं:
मासियं णं भिक्खु-पडिम पडिवन्नस्स अणगारस्स निच्चं वोसट्टकाए चियत्तदेहे जे केइ उवसग्गा उववज्जंति, तं जहा-दिव्वा वा माणुसा वा तिरिक्ख-जोणिया वा, तं उप्पण्णे सम्म सहति, खमति, तितिक्खति, अहियासेति ।

## Seventh Stage

With Hindi Commentary.

2415

If this order is followed, it must also be followed for the eighth, ninth, and subsequent images. Following this order, the twelfth image will be completed in twelve months. The commentator also writes about this in the same way. For example:

“When the seventh-month image is completed, the field suitable for the rainy season retreat is recorded. It creates the condition for the rainy season retreat. And it comes from the rule, it becomes bound. All these are completed in eight months. The three images are completed in one year, and the six months of circumambulation are completed in six months. The number of images is equal to the number of circumambulations. The circumambulation for the monthly image is one month. Similarly, the circumambulation for the seventh-month image is seven months. The duration of the circumambulation is the time of the circumambulation. The fourth and subsequent images, which are above the three, have their circumambulation in one year and their completion in another year. The images are completed in auspicious substances, fields, time, and conditions. The three images are seven nights and days. Thus, twenty-one nights and days are circumambulated, and the images are completed in the same number of days. In this way, the eighth, ninth, and tenth images are completed on the twenty-first day. The eleventh is completed in three nights and days, and the twelfth is completed in one night and day, along with the sixth. Here, the word "night and day" refers only to the night, otherwise it would contradict the sutra "one night." The thirteenth is completed in four nights and days, along with the eighth. The meaning is clear.

The monk who holds the image is full of mental and physical strength, and therefore he can follow these images correctly. In this way, by enduring physical hardships, he gains spiritual strength. This is beneficial for him, because spiritual strength is the greatest of all the forces in the world. By gaining the strength of right faith, he can properly worship right conduct.

Now the sutra-maker describes the necessary duties of the images, saying:

"The monk who has taken the vow of non-violence, who is a householder, who is constantly engaged in the practice of non-violence, and who has a pure body, if he encounters any obstacles, whether they are divine, human, or animal, he endures them, tolerates them, bears them, and is patient."
