## Introduction
There are four types of *datti* (donation), namely *swadhyay* (self-study), *tapas* (austerities) like fasting, and *vratadharana* (observance of vows), which are the main duties of Brahmins.
Bharata Chakravarti considered *tapas* and *shruta* (scripture) as the main sacraments of the Brahmin caste. He further stated that even though a child born to Brahmin parents may be called a Brahmin by name, they cannot be considered a true Brahmin unless they possess *tapas* and *shruta*.
Chakravarti then elaborated on the *garbhanvayakriya* (conception), *dikshanvayakriya* (initiation), and *karttranvayakriya* (action) and explained that these *dwijanma* (twice-born) or Brahmins should perform these *garbhaadhana* (conception) to *nirvana* (liberation) rituals. He then described 48 *dikshanvayakriya* (initiation rituals) from *avatara* (incarnation) to *nirvana* (liberation).
*Vratadharana* (observance of vows) is called *diksha* (initiation), and the rituals performed for this initiation are called *dikshanvayakriya* (initiation rituals). The preparation undertaken by a being for *diksha* (initiation) or *vratadharana* (observance of vows) is called *dikshavatar* (initiation-incarnation).
When a *bhavya* (soul) contaminated by *mithyatva* (false belief) desires to embrace the *sanmarg* (right path), or when an *arjan* (soul) wishes to become a Jain, they approach a *yogindra* (great yogi) or a *grihasthacharya* (householder teacher) and request, "O great sage, please teach me the faultless Dharma. I have considered all other beliefs as worthless. Even the Vedic scriptures do not promote good conduct."
The *grihasthacharya* (householder teacher) then explains the nature of *apta shruta* (authentic scriptures) to the non-Jain *bhavya* (soul) and clarifies that the true Dharma lies in the scriptures, puranas, smritis, charitras, kriyas, mantras, devatas, lingas, and dietary purity, where these are explained from a true and essential perspective. The *dwadashaangshruta* (twelve-part scriptures) is the true Veda, and the scriptures promoting violence through sacrifices cannot be considered Vedas. Similarly, only those puranas and Dharma Shastras that advocate non-violence can be considered authentic, while those promoting killing and violence are the words of deceitful people.
The *shatkarma* (sixfold duties) performed without violence is the *aryavritta* (path of the noble ones), and the *chaturashramdharma* (four-fold order) taught by other religions is the *asanmarg* (wrong path). The rituals from *garbhaadhana* (conception) to *nirvana* (liberation) are the true rituals, while those from *garbha* (conception) to *shmashana* (cremation) are not. The mantras used in the *samyak kriyas* (right actions) from *garbhaadhana* (conception) to *nirvana* (liberation) are the true mantras, while those used for sinful actions like violence are *dumantra* (evil mantras).
The *visheshwar* (universal lord) and other *shanti* (peaceful) deities are the cause of peace, while other cruel deities who consume
