VI RENUNCIATION
$136. The mode of life practised in the monastic communiqy is called kappa. While the late Pancakappa knows of up to 42 different kappa divided among five different methods ( $52), we have but six according to the old tradition (Thân. 167b, 371b; K. 6, 14) Thus the monastic order, the kappatthu, is sıxfold Before his consecration the monk lives in the state of the sāmāıya- (or s-samjaya-)k -tthii ( § 138). It also includes the followers of Pāsa ( 8 16) who do not take the vows The monks of the cheovatthāvaniya-k -tih are exclusivcly followers of Mahāvira. They have gone through with the process of taking the vows (uvatthāvana) thus ending either their state as pupils or their membership of the Pāsavaccija, unless it be that, as a punishment of the cheya ( § 16 ), they were forced to repeat it. Another pair are the nivvisamāna- and the nuuvitthakārya-k.-tth. of those monks that were sentenced to disciplinary punishment (§ 161). The teaching of right conduct ( § 177) which starts with the two mentioned first comprises the last two by a special name A third pair is, in a certain way formed by the zina- and the thera-k -tth for quallfying such monks that, for the purpose of some extra self-castigation, have withdrawn from the community ( § 142), and such following the general rules. ( $ 140)
All that a good monk practises or from what hc abstains (samācāra) adds up to the sāmāyārī In its special sense, however, the word applies to 10 deportments of a monk referred to by Thãn 499a, Viy. 920b, 102 b, Utt 26, 1-7, Āv. 7; they comprise the compliance with a wish, the admission of one's being guilty ($ 159), asscnt (iccha-hāra. miccha-k, taha-l.k.),
