## Mulachar
**56. To renounce the attachment to water and other things until the age of 56 is to purify oneself from one's faults. This is the Pratikraman that leads to liberation.** || 120 ||
**Further, the Pratikraman of the senses, body, passions, hands, and feet has been described. The five senses, speech, hands, feet, and mind, along with the body, are described as the ten Mundas.** || 121 ||
**Meaning:** The Mundana of the five senses means to renounce the activities of the senses in their respective objects. For example, to stop the activity of the sense of touch is the Mundana of the sense of touch. Similarly, not speaking without reason or purpose is the Mundana of speech, not engaging in improper actions with the hands is the Mundana of the hands, not moving the feet in an improper way is the Mundana of the feet, not having evil thoughts in the mind is the Mundana of the mind, and not engaging in improper actions with the body is the Mundana of the body. In this way, the ten Mundanas are described in the Jinaagama. || 121 ||
**Thus, the third chapter of the Mulachar, composed by Acharya Shri Vattkeeri, titled "Pratikyanana", ends here.** || 3 ||| SR No. | 022324 |
