Notes A Abhayadevasūri has explained this aphorism on the basis of gāthās of Daśāśrutaskandhaniryukti (gāthā 44-51). Originally these vows are five-fold: samādhi pratimā, upadhānapratimā, viveka pratimā, pratisanlīnatāpratimā and ekavihārapratimā. The first samādhi pratimā is two-fold: śrutasamādhi and cāritra. Srutasamādhipratimā is again of 62 types. Its five types are found in Ācārāngasūtra, thirty-seven species in Ācāracülā, sixteen species in Sthānāngasūtra, four in Vyavahārasütra (5+37+16+4). Upadhānapratimā is of two types: of monks (12) and of laities 11. Viveka pratimā, Pratisanlīnatāpratimā are single each. Ekavihārapratimā is included in that of monks. Thus, total number of pratimās are: samādhi pratimā (5+62), Upadhānapratimā, (23) Viveka pratimā (1) and Pratisanlīnatāpratimā (1) ie. 92. .
