**Dravyasamayik:** To have equanimity (samdarshan) towards gold, silver, pearls, gems, clay, wood, a clod of earth, thorns, etc., meaning to be free from attachment and aversion, is Dravyasamayik.
**Kshetrasamayik:** A pleasant area, such as a garden, city, river, well, lake, etc., and an unpleasant area, such as a barren land, a place full of thorns, uneven, unattractive, dry, devoid of bones and stones, a dilapidated garden, a dry river, a sandy [waterless] region, a sandy area - to renounce attachment and aversion towards these is Kshetrasamayik.
**Kalsamayik:** To be free from attachment and aversion towards the six seasons (spring, summer, etc.), night, day, the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) and the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha), etc., is Kalsamayik.
**Bhavasamayik:** To have a feeling of friendship towards all beings and to renounce inauspicious consequences is Bhavasamayik.
**Sarvasavdha Yoga:** The renunciation of all careful actions is a form of Ekasanayama or Abhedasanayama, which is also known as Samayik Sanayama. A detailed explanation of this is given in Gatha 467-466 in the Dika, based on the teachings of Dhavala and others. This Samayik Sanayama is unparalleled (anuttar) and rare. Those who have taken the vows (pichchi) and have folded their hands (anjali) in reverence, and who are mindful (savdhaan) and wise, perform Samayik with a focused mind (ekagra man), standing upright, and following the ancient method (pragamoct vidhi). Alternatively, they perform Samayik by reciting the vows (pichchi) and purifying themselves, by purifying their thoughts regarding matter (dravy), space (kshetra), time (kal), and emotions (bhav), and by making their folded hands resemble a blooming lotus (mukulit kamalakar).
**Chhedopasthapana Sanayama:** After accepting Samayik Sanayama, if one inadvertently commits a careless act, then to rectify the fault through the process of atonement (prayaschitta) and establish oneself in the five types of Sanayama, which are the essence of Dharma, is Chhedopasthapana Sanayama. Chhed means atonement, and Upasthapana means establishing oneself in Dharma. Therefore, Chhedopasthapana Sanayama is the establishment of oneself in Dharma through atonement. Alternatively, it is the establishment of oneself in a faultless Sanayama by rectifying the fault through penance (tap) or the period of initiation (deekshakal).
**Chhedopasthapana:** Due to the indirect nature of the origin and violence of stationary (sthavar) and other beings, and the hidden nature of the place of their existence (chhadmasth), if one inadvertently commits a harmful act, then to make amends for it in a proper manner is Chhedopasthapana. Alternatively, it is the existence of various options, such as the five types of careless actions (savadha karma) like violence (hinsa), etc., that constitute Chhedopasthapana.
From Lord Ajitanatha to Lord Pashvanatha, the twenty-three Tirthankaras preached Samayik Sanayama. Lord Rishabhanatha and Lord Mahavira preached Chhedopasthapana. The five great treasures (pancha maha dhana) are described separately for ease of understanding, contemplation, and comprehension.
