________________ somebo However if the bhikshu or bhikshuni finds that the upashraya is not infested with eggs, cobwebs etc., he should inspect and clean the upashraya and use it for meditation (thanam), sleeping ( sejjam) and studies (nisihiyam). विवेचन-‘उपाश्रय' का अर्थ है - गृहस्थ द्वारा अपने निज उपयोग के लिए बनाया हुआ वह स्थान जहाँ पर साधु-साध्वी गृहस्थ की अनुमति लेकर ठहरते हों। उसे 'वसति' भी कहते हैं। ऐसा स्थान निर्दोष तथा निरवद्य होना चाहिए । जहाँ ठहरने से किसी जीव की हिंसा नहीं हो तथा साधु के कायोत्सर्ग, स्वाध्याय तथा उठने-बैठने में किसी प्रकार की बाधा नहीं आती हो । साधु उपाश्रय का चयन मुख्यतया तीन कार्यों के लिए करता है (१) ठाणं - कायोत्सर्ग के लिए। (२) सेज्जं - सोने-बैठने आदि के लिए । (३) णिसीहियं - स्वाध्याय के लिए। प्राचीन काल में स्वाध्याय-भूमि आवास स्थान से अलग एकान्त स्थान में होती थी, जहाँ लोगों के आवागमन का निषेध होता था, इसीलिए स्वाध्याय - भूमि को निषेधिकी- निसीहिया - (सर्व सामान्य के लिए निषिद्ध स्थान ) कहा जाता था । Elaboration-Upashraya means-a house or facility constructed by a householder for his own use where ascetics stay after seeking permission from the owner. It is also called 'vasati'. Such place should be flawless and undefiled. A place where the stay by an ascetic does not put any being to harm or inconvenience and where there is no disturbance to the ascetic in his activities like meditation, studies and normal movement. An ascetic explores an upashraya mainly for three activities- (1) Thanam — for kayotsarg (dissociation of mind from the body) or meditation. Jain Education International (2) Sejjam-for sitting, sleeping and other normal activities. (3) Nisihiyam-for studies. In ancient times the place for studies was different from the place of stay and in isolation and visitors were prohibited. That is why the place of study was called a prohibited area or nishedhiki or nisihiya. आचारांग सूत्र (भाग २) ( १६२ ) Acharanga Sutra (Part 2) For Private & Personal Use Only 10% www.jainelibrary.org
