Notes A. The vow of service to others is the literal meaning of paravaiyāvrtyapratimā. Abhayadevasūrio, categorically opined that the treatment of ninetyone vows is treated no where. He tried to construct the concept of ninety-three vows in his own way. According to him ten-fold humility shown towards one with virtue of faith, humility without impertinence is of sixty types, honorific (aupacārika) modesty is seven-fold, service is of fourteen types. Thus in total (10+ 60+ 7+ 14) ninety-one vows are found.
