Elaboration-Here some synonyms of avashyak have been mentioned. Although they are composed of a variety of vowels and consonants and have slight variation in meaning also but generally speaking they are synonyms
(1) Avashyak-An essential duty or an act to be performed compulsorily is called avashyak. As it is obligatory for an ascetic to perform samayik and other such practices they are included in avashyak.
(2) Avashyakaraniya-As it is to be performed by ascetics as a rule it is called avashyakaraniya.
(3) Dhruva nigraha-Dhruva is eternal or permanent and nigraha is to discipline or to restrain. According to the commentator (Churni) the eight types of karmas, passions and sense organs are eternal (dhruva) and the disciplining (nigraha) of these is avashyak. Also the karmas and their fruits in the form of birth, decay and death are without a beginning or an end, therefore eternal (dhruva), that which restrains (nigraha) these fruits of karma is avashyak. Thus avashyak means dhruva nigraha.
(4) Vishodhi-That which purifies is called vishodhi. As avashyak is instrumental in cleansing the tarnished soul it is vishodhi.
(5) Adhyayan-shatkavarg-six chapters-As Avashyak (Sutra) has six chapters, viz. Samayik, Chaturvimshati Stav, Vandan, Pratikraman, Kayotsarga and Pratyakhyan, it is Adhyayan-shatkavarg.
(6) Nyaya-right-As avashyak is the right means of attaining the desired it is nyaya.
(7) Aradhana-worship-As avashyak is the cause of attaining liberation it is worth worship and so aradhana.
(8) Marg-path, means or instrument-As avashyak is the means of attaining liberation, it is marg.
