________________ Ratnakarandaka-śrāvakācāra दानं वैयावृत्यं धर्माय तपोधनाय गुणनिधये । अनपेक्षितोपचारोपक्रियमगृहाय विभवेन ॥ १११ ॥ सामान्यार्थ तप-रूप धन से युक्त तथा सम्यग्दर्शनादि गुणों के भण्डार गृहत्यागी-मुनीश्वर के लिये विधि, द्रव्य आदि सम्पत्ति के अनुसार प्रतिदान और प्रत्युपकार की अपेक्षा से रहित, स्व-पर के धर्म की वृद्धि के लिये जो दान दिया जाता है वह वैयावृत्य नाम का शिक्षाव्रत कहलाता है। Acts of charity like giving of food, implements, or service, in proper manner, with the sole object of mutual increase in moral righteousness and without a desire for either a gift or a benefaction in return, to homeless ascetics who own the wealth of austerity and are treasure-house of virtues like right faith, fall under the vow of serving the noble ones (vaiyāvṛtya), a limb of instructional vows-siksāvrata. EXPLANATORY NOTE ācārya Umāsvāmi's Tattvārthasūtra: अनुग्रहार्थं स्वस्यातिसर्गो दानम् ॥ ७-३८ ॥ Charity is the giving of one's wealth to another for mutual benefit. विधिद्रव्यदातृपात्रविशेषात्तद्विशेषः ॥ ७-३९ ॥ The distinction with regard to the effect of a gift consists in the manner, the thing given, the nature of the giver, and the nature of the recipient. 172 Jain, Vijay K. (2011), “Āchārya Umāsvāmi's Tattvārthsūtra”, p. 111-112.
