DOCTRINE OF THE JAINAS
detailed prescriptions for the begging for alms, wandering, speech, the way how to ask for garments and alms-bowl, and such concerning the question of residence; in the second Cūlā we have prescriptions regarding ascetic postures and study, easing nature, and indifference towards external influences including favours and nursing. These chapters have been arranged according to the diminishing number of their sections, as is done in Süyagada 1. The third Cūlā is called Bhāvanā after the instructions for the right understanding (bhāvanā) of the 5 Great Vows which in their turn form the climax of Jain ethics and as such are rightly annexed to the above stated topics. But, as to quantity, by far the greatest space of this Cūlā is devoted to Mahāvīra's biography up to his leaving the worldly life. Since right conduct on the ground of the vows will lead to salvation, “Vimuttı" is treated in the 6th Cūlā For the Nisiha as once having formed a further part of the Āyāra see § 51.
