For Śrāvakas or householders they prescribe twelve vows to undertake which contains five Aņuvratas (minor vows) + three Guņavratas (multiplicative vows) and four Sikṣāvratas (disciplinary vows). Out of these twelve, seven vows including three Guņavratas and four Sikşāvratas are jointly called Sīla. Each constituent of Sila is further divided into required divisions. Observance of the Sīla is very important for the layfollowers in order to purify their conduct. The Sīla enhances the effect of vratas to be observed by the Srāvaka-Srāvikas (layfollowers) treading on the path of salvation.
