## The Eleventh Samvaya: An Analysis
The Eleventh Samvaya describes eleven Upasaka Pratimas, eleven Ganadharas of Bhagwan Mahavira, eleven stars of the Mula Nakshatra, eleven Palyopama and Sagaropama states of Graveyaka, Naraka and Devas, and eleven Bhava states leading to Moksha.
This Samvaya first mentions the Shravaka Pratimas. Pratimas refer to specific vows, specific observances, specific austerities, and specific acquisitions. After accepting the twelve vows, a Shravaka adopts the Pratimas. There are slight differences in the number, order, and names of Pratimas in the Svetambara and Digambara texts, but these differences are negligible. Their names are found in Upasakadashaanga, Dasha Shruta Skandha, and Samvayanga. They are: 1. Darshan, 2. Vrat, 3. Samayik, 4. Paushdhopavas, 5. Niyam, 6. Brahmacharya, 7. Sachittatyaga, 8. Aarambh Tyaga, 9. Preshya Parityaag, 10. Uddishta Tyaga, and 11. Shramanabhoot. Acharya Haribhadra mentions 'Sthan' instead of 'Niyam' as the fifth Pratima. Digambara texts like Vasunandi Shravakaachar, etc., mention eleven Pratimas: Darshan, Vrat, Samayik, Paushd, Sachittatyaga, Ratribhuktittyaga, Brahmacharya, Aarambh Tyaga, Parigraha Tyaga, Anumati Tyaga, and Uddishta Tyaga. Swamikartikeyaanupreksha mentions twelve Pratimas, including Samyagdristi. Both traditions agree on the first four Pratimas. Sachittatyaga is the fifth Pratima in the Digambara tradition, while it is the seventh in the Svetambara tradition. The Digambara tradition considers Ratribhuktittyaga as a separate Pratima, while the Svetambara tradition includes it in the fifth Pratima, Niyam. The Digambara tradition mentions Anumati Tyaga as the tenth Pratima, while the Svetambara tradition includes it in Uddishta Tyaga. This is because in this Pratima, the Shravaka does not accept Uddishta Bhakti and also does not support other Aarambhas. The Shramanabhoot Pratima in the Svetambara tradition is called Uddishta Tyaga Pratima in the Digambara tradition because it involves a Shravaka.
It is noteworthy that Acharya Umaswati has described Vrat and its transgressions in Tattvarth Sutra. However, he has not mentioned anything about Pratimas. All Svetambara and Digambara commentators of Tattvarth Sutra have not mentioned anything about Pratimas. Similarly, Pujyapada, Ankalank, Vidyānandin, etc., of the Digambara tradition have not mentioned anything about Pratimas.
