**Somasen Bhattaraka Composed**
**Chapter 122**
In the days of the **Anudhyaya**, one should recite one hundred and eight **Japas** (repetitions of a mantra), and on other days, half of that, twenty-four, and during the time of worship, ten **Japas**, according to one's strength.
**Chapter 123 & 124**
**Place for Reciting Japas**
The fruit of reciting **Japas** at home is said to be one hundred times greater when done in a forest. In a **punyaram** (sacred garden) or a jungle, it is considered to be a thousand times greater. On a mountain peak, it is ten thousand times greater, on the bank of a river, one lakh (one hundred thousand) times greater, in a temple, one crore (ten million) times greater, and in the presence of the **Jinas**, it is infinite times greater.
**Chapter 125**
**When to Stop Reciting Japas**
One should stop reciting **Japas** upon seeing a person who has broken a vow, a **Chandala** (outcaste), or someone similar, upon hearing their speech, upon feeling a shiver, upon the expulsion of **apana vayu** (downward-moving air), and upon yawning.
**Chapter 126**
**What to Do When Interrupted**
If any of the above hindrances arise while reciting **Japas**, one should perform **achamana** (ritual mouth rinsing), **sadanga pranayama** (six-limbed breathing exercise), or stand up and see the **Jina** (Tirthankara). After that, one should complete the remaining **Japas**.
**Chapter 127 & 128**
**After Reciting Japas**
Having performed the **Japa** ritual as described above, one should stand up from the seat with devotion, join both hands in a **mukuli** (bud-like) position, face the east, and perform the **vandana** (salutation) ritual without any laziness. Then, one should sit down again to perform the remaining rituals.
