It has been said that this body is different, the soul is different. The seeker, with this kind of knowledge of the elements, renounces the attachment to the body which gives rise to sorrow and distress. 81 In the **Stanaanga**, it is said that **Kayotsarga**, meditation with intense concentration, holding an image, etc., are many types of bodily austerities. 10 Thus, there are fourteen types of bodily austerities. 61 The process of making the soul, which is immersed in the external, immersed in its own nature, is called **Prati-sanleena**. In the **Bhaagvati**, 62 it is said that there are four types of **Prati-sanleena**: **Indriya-prati-sanleena**, **Kashaya-prati-sanleena**, **Yoga-prati-sanleena**, and **Vivikta-shayana-asana-sevana**. There are six external austerities. 93

There are six internal austerities. The first is **Prayashchitta**. According to Acharya Akalanka, the word "**Praya**" means offense, and "**Chitta**" means purification. The action that purifies the offense is **Prayashchitta**. 14 **Prayashchitta** cuts off sin. It removes sin. 95 There is a difference between **Prayashchitta** and punishment. **Prayashchitta** is undertaken voluntarily. Punishment is not taken with remorse for the sin, it is taken out of compulsion. In the **Stanaanga**, ten types of **Prayashchitta** are mentioned. **Vinaya** is the second internal austerity. It is a spiritual quality. The word **Vinaya** encompasses three meanings: discipline, self-control, good conduct, and humility. **Vinaya** removes the eight karmas. In the **Pravachana-sara-uddhar**, it is written that **Vinaya** is that which removes the eight karmas, which are the enemies that give rise to distress. 96 In the **Bhaagvati**, 97 the **Stanaanga**, 18 the **Aupapatik**, 19 seven types of **Vinaya** are mentioned: **Jnana-vinaya**, **Darshan-vinaya**, **Charitra-vinaya**, **Mano-vinaya**, **Vachan-vinaya**, **Kaya-vinaya**, and **Lokopachara-vinaya**. **Vinaya** is not flattery, it is natural respect for good qualities. **Vyayavritta** austerity is to serve those things that lead to the practice of Dharma. In the **Bhaagvati**, 100 ten types of **Vyayavritta** are mentioned. The study of the scriptures with proper methods is **Swadhyaya** austerity. 101 Self-reflection and contemplation are also **Swadhyaya**. Just as food is necessary for the body, so too is study necessary for the development of the intellect. The Vedic sages 102 also said, "**Tapo hi Swadhyaya**," and they gave the inspiration that one should never be negligent in **Swadhyaya**. 103 Acharya Patanjali says that through **Swadhyaya**, one begins to see the Ishta Devata directly. Five types of **Swadhyaya** are mentioned: **Vachana**, **Pricchana**, **Parivartana**, **Anupreksha**, and **Dharmakatha**. 104 The state of concentration of the mind
