I shall now engross myself in meditation in a completely motionless yoga posture (Käyotsarga) for a specified duration. I will remain motionless except for breathing in and out, coughing, sneezing, yawning, belching, involuntarily losing balance, vomiting, fainting, subtle flickering movements of the eyes and other involuntary bodily movements. I shall perform meditation and keep myself (my soul) away from all sinful activities by keeping my body motionless and by observing complete silence. At the conclusion of meditation, I will complete the Käyotsarga by offering salutation to Arihants.
By reciting 'Annattha Sutra', one enumerates the list of minor violations that may happen in his motionless yoga (Kayotsarg) posture. This sutra contains a description of sixteen exemptions (ägäras) that can be taken during the kausagga, otherwise it should be completed as prescribed.
