## Twentieth Uddeshak
[439 The description of Parihar Tap and Shuddha Tap, who they are given to, is in the Bhashya Gatha 6586 to 91. There it is also said that Shuddha Tap Prāyaścitta is given only to Sadhvi and the Agiatartha, Durbal and the Bhikshu who has completed three Santhyanas.
To the one who has taken Diksha for 20 years, to the one who is above 29 years of age, to the one who is Utkrishta Gittarth, i.e., who has attained the knowledge of 9 Purvas, to the one who has completed the first Santhan, and to the one who practices many Abhigha Tap Sadhana, Parihar Tap is given. The complete method of giving Parihar Tap is described in Bhashya Gatha 6592.
From Sutra 1 to 5, the general Prāyaścitta is said to be the consumption of one-month Prāyaścitta Sthana to five-month Prāyaścitta Sthana once, and from Sutra 6 to 10, the consumption of many times. Along with this, it is said to give a special Guru-mas Prāyaścitta for deceitful criticism.
From Sutra 11 to 14, information is given about many Sutras with Dwisanayogi etc. Bhang, from the consumption of many of these Prāyaścitta Sthana. In the Bhashya Chuni, the count of crores of Sutras is mentioned in detail.
In Sutras 5, 10 and 11 to 14, the phrase "Teṇ Param-Paliuñciya Apaliuñciya Te Chev Chhammasa" is present. Its meaning should be understood as - if someone is eligible for a 6-month or 7-month Prāyaścitta, or if they are criticizing with or without deceit, then also this six-month Prāyaścitta is applicable, not more than that.
Subahuhi Vi Masehi, Chhanham Masana Param Na Dayavvam || 6524 ||
Chuni - Tawarihehi Bahuhi Masehi Chhammasa Param Na Dijjai, Savvassev Es Niyamo, Ettha Karanam Jamha Amham Vaddhamana Samino Evam Chev Param Pamanam Thavitam.
Meaning - In the reign of Vardhaman Mahavira Swami, only this much Prāyaścitta is prescribed, and this rule is for all Sadhu-Sadhvi.
_ Agiatartha, Atiparinama, Aparinama Sadhu-Sadhvi are given only 6 months of Tap, not Chhed Prāyaścitta. But if they repeatedly commit the fault, or if they commit violence against the five senses with Akutti Buddhi, i.e., with the intention of killing, or if they consume Kushila with pride, then they can be given Chhed Prāyaścitta. And those who are indifferent to Chhed are given "Mula Prāyaścitta".
If someone commits other small or big faults, they are not given Chhed or Mula Prāyaścitta for the first time, but if they are warned once that "O Arya! If you commit this fault repeatedly, then Chhed or Mula Prāyaścitta will be given", then they can be given Chhed or Mula Prāyaścitta. The one who has not been warned cannot be given Chhed or Mula Prāyaścitta. In the Bhashya, the Sadhu who has been warned is called "Vikovit" and the Sadhu who has not been warned is called "Avikovit". Vikovit is given Lagghu for the first time, Guru for the second time and Chhed Prāyaścitta for the third time.
