[198] There are two types of these - Udghatim, meaning minor atonement, and Anudghatim, meaning major atonement. Both of these have two sub-types, monthly and Chaturmasik. If a vow is broken due to being overpowered by royal authority, ghost possession, etc., then: 1. In minor monthly atonement (Udghatim), it is necessary to perform 4, 15, and 27 Ekasan for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. 2. In major monthly atonement (Anudghatim), it is necessary to perform 4, 15, and 30 Nivi for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. 3. In minor Chaturmasik atonement, it is necessary to perform 4 Ayambil, 60 Nivi, and 108 fasts for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. 4. In major Chaturmasik atonement, it is necessary to perform 4 fasts, 4 Bele, and 120 fasts or 4 months of Diksha-ched for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. If the vow is broken intentionally and with haste, then... 1.

In major monthly atonement, it is necessary to perform 4, 15, and 30 Ayambil for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. 3.

If the vow is broken due to the strong emergence of Mohaniya Karma, then: 1. In minor monthly atonement, it is necessary to perform 4, 15, and 27 fasts for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. 2. In major monthly atonement, it is necessary to perform 4, 15, and 30 fasts for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. 3. In minor Chaturmasik atonement, it is necessary to perform 4 Bele, Ayambil during Parana, 4 Tele, Ayambil during Parana, and 108 fasts and Ayambil during Parana for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. 4. In major Chaturmasik atonement, it is necessary to perform 4 Tele, Ayambil during Parana or 40 days of Diksha-ched, 15 Tele, Ayambil during Parana or 60 days of Diksha-ched, and 120 fasts and Ayambil during Parana or Mula (new initiation) or 120 days of Diksha-ched for minor, medium, and severe transgressions respectively. During the reign of Lord Mahavira, the maximum atonement was six months. If more atonement is required, then Diksha-ched atonement is performed. In minor six months, there are 165 fasts, and in major six months, there are 180 fasts. The Acharya and other disciples, while giving atonement, consider the strength of the disciple and the circumstances of the vow-breaking and give appropriate lesser or greater atonement.
