There is a provision for atonement. The provision for atonement is for a maximum of six months. One who has committed many offenses should be criticized in order and then atonement should be taken for all together. Even while doing atonement, if the offense is committed again, then atonement should be done again. The Shraman who is taking atonement should get up and sit with other Sadhus only after taking permission from the Sthavir etc. If he sits with someone in violation of the permission, then his Dikshaparaya for that many days is reduced, which is called a hole in the Agamic language. He can go to another place for the service of Sthavir etc. by abandoning the Pariharakalp / A Shraman wanders alone by abandoning the Gan, and if he feels unable to follow the pure conduct, then he should be criticized and a hole or new Diksha should be taken / The same rule applies to the single-minded Ganavchhedak, Acharya and Shithilachari Shraman as is generally for the single-minded Shraman. Criticism should be done in front of the Pracharya, Upadhyay and atonement should be taken to become pure. If they are absent, then criticism should be done in front of their Sambhogi, Sarmic, Bahushrut etc. If they are not nearby, then criticism should be done by going to the Sambhogi, Bahushrut etc. Shraman of another community wherever they are and atonement should be taken. If they are also not there, then if there is a Sarupik (Sadoshi) but Bahushrut Sadhu, then atonement should be taken by going there. If he is also not there, then atonement should be taken by going to the Bahushrut Shramanopasak, and if he is also absent, then atonement should be taken by going to the Samyagdristi Gahesth / In the absence of all these, go outside the village or city and stand facing the east or north direction, fold both hands and criticize your offense / It is said in the second Uddeshak that if two Sarmic are together with the same Samachari and one of them has committed an offense, then atonement should be taken in front of the other. The burden of service etc. of the one doing atonement remains on the other Shraman. If both have committed the offense, then they should criticize each other, take atonement and serve. If one Shraman has committed an offense out of many Shramans, then atonement should be given to only one / If all have committed an offense, then all except one should take atonement and purify themselves, and after their atonement is complete, he should also be given atonement and purified. It is not considered appropriate to remove the Pariharakalp-situated Shraman from the Gachch if he becomes ill / It is the duty of the Ganavchhedak to make him recite the Bayavritti until he becomes healthy, and after becoming healthy, he should take atonement because he served in the Sadoshavस्था. Similarly, the one who is doing Anvasthapy and Paranchik atonement should not be removed from the Gachch in the state of illness. The Viksiptchitt should also not be removed from the Gachch, and until his mind becomes stable, his full service should be done, and after becoming healthy, nominal atonement should be given. Similarly, the Deeptchitt (whose mind has become inflamed with pride), Unmadprapt, Upsargprapt, Sadhikarana, Saprayaschitt etc. should not be removed from the Gachch. The ninth Anvasthapy atonement-taking Sadhu should be reinstated in restraint without making him wear a Mrihsthalang [ 55 ]
