## Fourth Study: Pratikraman
Those who attain liberation through effort and penance are called Shramanas.
The meaning of "Sanjata" is "one who makes proper effort in restraint." The seeker should always make proper effort in duties like non-violence, truthfulness, etc. "Sanjato-samman jato, karaniyeshu yogeshhu samyak prayatnapara ity arthah."
One who is "Virat" is free from all kinds of harmful yogas, meaning they denounce past sins and remain free from all sins by being vigilant for the future.
The meaning of "Virat" is:
- **Pratihat-pratyakhyat-papakarma:** One who destroys past sins through denouncement and condemnation, and abandons future sins through the vow of renunciation. This symbolizes the seeker's purification of life in all three times.
The meaning of "Sadhana" is:
- **Trikal vijayi:** To be victorious over sinful karma in all three times. As it is said: "Padihatan atita nidanam - garhanadinihim, pacchakkhatam sesam akaranataya pavakarma pavacharam yena sa tatha." - Acharya Jinadas
**Anidana:** The meaning of "Nidana" is the desire for complete attainment with certainty. The meaning of "Anidana" is penance and other practices performed without attachment. For example, if a merchant wants to buy goods worth a lakh rupees, he can buy the desired goods if he has more than a lakh rupees or exactly a lakh rupees. But if he has less than a lakh rupees, he will not be able to buy goods worth a lakh rupees. Similarly, if the seeker has an abundance of virtuous karma, he can attain complete Siddhi by performing "Nidana." Otherwise, he cannot. But that Siddhi is exhausted in the same birth. As a result of "Nidana," the soul has to be born in a lower realm. According to the Agamkaras, Vasudevas and Prativa-sudevas attain Siddhi like the kingdom of Trikhand through "Nidana." After that, they descend. Therefore, the instruction of the Lokottara Aapta Purushas for the seekers is that they should perform penance without "Nidana" and vow that they have no attachment to the alluring enjoyments of the world, their practice is only for self-purification, their goal is not bondage but liberation. With such a firm resolve, the seeker can achieve the goal through his practice.
**Drishtisampanna:** The meaning of "Drishtisampanna" is one who is endowed with pure vision in the form of Samyagdarshan. It is essential for the seeker aspiring for liberation to have pure vision. Because without Samyagdarshan, the seeker cannot have true discernment of what is beneficial and what is harmful. Only a seeker with Samyagdarshan can avoid the ten types of false beliefs. Only a seeker with pure vision can investigate truth and reality. Samyagdarshan is indeed the root of all virtues. "Ditthisampanno" - meaning "Savvaguna-mulbhaataguṇayuktatvam." - Acharya Jinadas
A soul with Samyagdarshan can see everything as it is, even while living in the world, not with a false vision. For example...
