## Ratnakaranḍaka Śrāvakācāra

"Aṇḍavrata" is the restraint from the punishment of the meaning of the vow. Similarly, "Bhoga-upbhoga-parimāṇa" is the enjoyment of things like food, scent, and garlands, which are enjoyed again and again. "Upbhoga" is the enjoyment of things like clothes, ornaments, vehicles, and drinks. The "parimāṇa" of these two is the time limit, which can be for life.

Why are these three considered "guṇavratas"? Because they "anubṛṁhaṇa" - they increase the "guṇas". Which "guṇas"? The "aṣṭamūla-guṇas". ||21||

Describing the nature of "digvrata", it is said:

"Having calculated the "digvalaya", I will not go outside."

This "sankalpa" is for the removal of subtle sins and death. ||22||

What is "digvrata"? It is the "sankalpa". What is its form? It is in the form of "I will not go outside". What is done? "Digvalaya" is calculated, meaning the directions are defined. How? "Āmṛti" - until death. For what purpose? "Aṇupapa-vinivṛttyai" - for the removal of even subtle sins. ||22||

Regarding the calculation of "digvalaya", it is said:

"The boundaries are the sea, rivers, forests, mountains, villages, and yojanas." They say these are well-known boundaries for the ten directions. ||23||

They say these are boundaries. What are they? "Makarākara" etc. "Makarākara" is the sea, "sarit" are rivers like Ganga, "aṭavī" is the forest like Daṇḍakāraṇya, "giri" is the mountain like Sahya and Vindhya, "janapada" is the country like Vārāṭa and Vāpīṭaṭa, and "yojanas" are numbers like twenty, thirty, etc. What is special about these? They are well-known boundaries for the restraint of directions, both for the giver and the receiver. What are these boundaries for? For the ten directions, which are divided into ten parts. What is the purpose of these boundaries? For "pratisamhāre" - for the restraint of "I will not go beyond this point". ||23||

Thus, for those who observe "digvirati-vrata", what happens beyond the boundaries? 1. "Strījana-upasēvanādi" - sexual intercourse with women, etc. 2. "Jampatyādi" - jumping, etc. is observed.
