They are **nirjīna** (non-living). From them, only the divine light of **kevalgyan** (omniscience) and **kevaldarshan** (omniscient vision) shines brightly, and the eternal bliss of **mukti** (liberation) is attained.
There are two main types of **pratyakhyan** (renunciation): 1. **Mūlaguṇa-pratyakhyan** and 2. **Uttaraguna-pratyakhyan**. **Mūlaguṇa-pratyakhyan** is adopted for life. There are also two types of **Mūlaguṇa-pratyakhyan**: 1. **Sarvamūlaguṇa-pratyakhyan** and 2. **Deshamūlaguṇa-pratyakhyan**. **Sarvamūlaguṇa-pratyakhyan** includes the five **mahavrata** (great vows) of a **shraman** (ascetic), and **Deshamūlaguṇa-pratyakhyan** includes the five **anuvrata** (minor vows) of a **shramanopasaka** (lay follower). **Uttaraguna-pratyakhyan** is adopted daily or for a few days. There are also two types of **Uttaraguna-pratyakhyan**: **Desh Uttaraguna-pratyakhyan** and **Sarv Uttaraguna-pratyakhyan**. For **grihastha** (householders), there are three **gunavrata** (virtue vows) and four **shikshavrata** (instruction vows), these seven are **Uttaraguna-pratyakhyan**. For both **shraman** and **shramanopasaka**, there are ten types of **pratyakhyan**. The **Bhagawatisutra**, **Sthananga-vritti**, **Aavashyak-niyukti**, and **Mulachar** describe these ten **pratyakhyan**. Their brief summary is as follows:
1. **Anagat**: The **tapa** (austerity) that should be done during festivals like **Paryushana**, should be done beforehand so that the service of the elderly, sick, and ascetics can be easily done in the future. **Vasunandi**, the commentator of **Mulachar**, has written: "The fast that is to be done on the fourteenth day should be done on the first day."
2. **Atikrant**: The **tapa** that should be done during the festival days, if it cannot be done due to the occasion of service, etc., should be done later on the non-festival days. **Vasunandi** has written: "The fast that is to be done on the fourteenth day should be done on the first day."
3. **Kotisahita**: Starting the next **tapa** without completing the previous **tapa** that is ongoing. **Acharya Abhaydev** has also given the same meaning in **Sthananga-vritti**. **Acharya Vattakera** has written the meaning of **Kotisahita pratyakhyan** in **Mulachar** as: "To resolve to do fasting, etc., according to one's strength." According to **Vasunandi**, this resolution is **Samanvita pratyakhyan**. For example, if there is strength after the **svadhyayavela** (time for self-study) the next day, then I will fast, otherwise not.
4. **Niyantrit**: Even if there are special obstacles like illness, etc., on the day when one intends to do **pratyakhyan**, one should do the **pratyakhyan** that one has resolved to do in the mind, without caring about those obstacles. In **Mulachar**, it is called **Vikhandit**, but there is no difference in meaning between the two. This **pratyakhyan** is for **Chaturdasha Purvadhari Jinakalp Shraman** and **Dasha Purvadhari Shraman**, because their resolve is so strong that no obstacle of any kind can deter them from their determination. After the **nirvana** (liberation) of **Jambuswami**, the **Jinakalp** was broken, so this **pratyakhyan** is also not present today.
