The translation preserving the Jain terms is as follows:
The reason for "Kalpapratisevana" is that the sadhaka (aspirant) who practices Jnana (knowledge), Darshana (right perception) and Charitra (right conduct) progresses towards the path of Moksha (liberation). The practice of Charitra is for the enhancement of Jnana and Darshana. The Charitra which leads to the diminution of Jnana and Darshana is not Charitra. Charitra is that which strengthens Jnana and Darshana. Due to Jnana and Darshana, the sadhaka has to resort to certain Apavadas (exceptions) in Charitra. All those Apavadas are included in Kalpapratisevana because they do not deter the sadhaka from his spiritual practice. Whatever Apavada is resorted to, the two main objectives should be Jnana and Darshana. If neither of these two is the reason, then it is Darpapratisevana (practice with pride). It is the duty of the sadhaka to renounce Darp (pride) and adopt Kalpa (the right path).
There could be a query that the Nishitha Bhashya and Chani etc. mention the practice of Apavadas even in the situations of famine etc. How then can it be said that Jnana and Darshana are the only reasons? The solution is that Jnana and Darshana are the two main reasons. In famines etc., there is no direct loss of Jnana and Darshana, but they are resorted to due to the indirect loss of Jnana and Darshana.
In famine, food cannot be obtained, and without food, Svadhyaya (self-study) etc. cannot be performed. Therefore, it is included among the reasons for Apavada.
The Nishitha Bhashya has also described Darpapratisevana and Kalpapratisevana as Pramada-pratisevana and Apramada-pratisevana, respectively. Because Pramada (negligence) is Darp, and Apramada (vigilance) is Kalpa. The conduct with Pramada is Darpapratisevana, and the conduct with Apramada is Kalpapratisevana.
The fundamental basis of Jain conduct is Ahimsa (non-violence). The other four major vows are the extensions of Ahimsa. The act with Pramada is Himsa (violence). In the life of a disciplined sadhaka, Apramada (vigilance) predominates. Two types of Apramada-pratisevana have also been mentioned - Anabhoga and Sahasaakara. Even in Apramada, if the mindfulness of Irya-samiti (carefulness in walking) etc. is forgotten for a short duration due to some reason, it is Anabhoga. There is no Pranaatipaata (killing of living beings) in it, but there is forgetfulness. If, after the activity has commenced, it is known that there is a possibility of Himsa, then it is Sahasaakara-pratisevana. For example, a disciplined sadhaka is walking mindfully. Initially, no living being was visible, but as soon as he took a step, a living being came into his sight. Despite the effort to save it, the living being was accidentally crushed under his foot - this is Sahasaakara-pratisevana. Due to Apramada, it is not Karmabandha (binding of karmas).
The practice of Ahimsa is the renunciation path of the ascetic. He does not commit any kind of violence to living beings through mind, speech, or body. The detailed analysis of the Ahimsa Mahavrta (great vow of non-violence) is found in the Acharanga, Dashavaikalika, and other Agama literature. A Shramana (ascetic) cannot touch any animate object. However, the Acharanga Sutra's second Shruta-skandha (section) has clearly stated this.
