## Trivarnika Achar
The householder, considering himself fulfilled in the household, attains peace. When the householder is ready to leave home, this act is called Grihatyag. Before performing this act, he should worship the Siddha pratima. Then, he should call together men of good character and, in their presence, instruct his eldest son as follows:
"My son, you should diligently follow the Dharma, actions, and rituals that have been passed down to us through our lineage. You should use the wealth we have divided into three parts as follows: one part for religious activities, another part for the sustenance of the family, and the third part to be equally distributed among your brothers. And, my son, you are the eldest, so you should take good care of our lineage. You are well-versed in the scriptures, the means of livelihood, household activities, and mantras related to these actions. Therefore, you should diligently follow the family tradition, worship the Guru daily, and pay homage to the Devas and the Aptus."
After instructing his eldest son in this way, he should renounce the attachments born of delusion, namely, the attachment to home, family, etc. Then, the householder should leave his home to receive initiation, abandoning the desire for work and wealth, and dwell in contemplation of Dharma for many days. This is called the Grihatyag act. || 13-19 ||
## The Method of Receiving Initiation
Having observed the causes of detachment, he should leave his home with a sense of detachment. With a heart filled with hope for liberation, he should approach the Guru, who is the savior. || 20 ||
He should bow to the Guru with pure mind, speech, and body, and receive the Jin-diksha, as taught by the Jina Bhagwan. Then, he should worship the Guru and, understanding the nature of the vows from his mouth, he should observe them. || 20-21 ||
## The Names of the Vows
There are five Mahavratas, five Samitis, and three Guptis. Thus, there are thirteen types of Charitra. || 22 ||
## The Names of the Five Mahavratas
The five vows are: non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, non-possession, and celibacy. These five vows are for the attainment of liberation and happiness. || 23 ||
