Tenth Uddeshak]
This is the day of Paryushana for the purpose of awakening specific Dharma, such as maintaining the results of Vardhamana. The importance of this day for the soul lies in the observance of these duties. The word "Paryushana" is used in the Agam for this day. In the Shwetambar tradition, the eighth day, which includes seven days of prior sadhana, is called Paryushana, and this day is called "Samvatsari." But in reality, the day of Samvatsari is the Paryushana day as mentioned in the Agam. The remaining days are like a prelude to Paryushana. In the Digambar tradition, there is a practice of performing Dharma-aradhana for ten days after the day of Paryushana. Over time, the Samvatsari festival has come to be celebrated on the tenth day (Anant Chaturdashi).
## Penance for reciting Paryushana Kalp to householders
40. Je Bhikkhu Annautthiyan va Garathiyan va Pajjosavei, Pajjosaventam va Saijzai.
40. A monk who recites Paryushana Kalp (sadhu-samachari) to a non-Jain or a householder, or approves of someone who does so. (He incurs Guruchaumasi penance.)
## Discussion
"Non-Jain and householder" should be understood as eight types of householders, which have been explained in Sutra 15 of the first Uddeshak.
The name of the sixth study of Dasha Shruta Skandha is "Pajjosavana Kapp." It contains the statement of the sadhu-samachari during the rainy season.
On the day of Paryushana, all sadhus should perform the evening Pratikraman and collectively recite or listen to the "Pajjosavana Kapp" study, and follow the sadhu-samachari mentioned therein during the rainy season and other times.
Churna says - 'Pajjosavana Kapp Kahane Ima Samayari' - 'Appano Uvassaaye Paadosaye Avasaye Kaye Kalam Ghetttu (record the time) Kale Suddhe Patthaveta Kahijjati..... . Savve Sahuu Sampayaniyam Kaussaggham Karenti.... ''
The method of recording the time of self-study, listening to this study, and then performing the Kayotsarga at the end, etc., is described in Churni.
The present Sutra states that reciting the "Paryushana Kalp - study" to householders or in a sadhu-parishad with householders is a penance. Therefore, the practice is to recite and listen to it only in the sadhu-parishad at night.
This tradition of the "Pajjosavana Kapp" study has been discontinued since an unknown time.
At the time of the composition of the Dasha Shruta Skandha, its appointment, etc., explanations, this study was complete in its place. After that, it is possible that in the 13th-14th century, it was abridged and added to the present well-known Kalpasutra. And some copyist has written the entire Kalpasutra in place of this study. This has resulted in the loss of the true form of this study. Many texts have been interpolated in the description of Tirthankaras, the list of elders, and the original samachari, which can be clearly understood by studying the appointment and its Churni.
