In the Tirthankara's realm of the first Lord, the disciples were simple and dull-witted. Therefore, the practice of Samayik restraint was explained to them in various ways, such as Vrat, Samiti, and Gupti. In the Tirthankara's realm of Mahavira, the disciples were dull-witted and crooked. It was difficult to stabilize them in the vows. Therefore, the vows were explained to them in various ways, such as Vrat, Samiti, and Gupti. From Ajitanatha to Parshvanatha, the disciples were intelligent and free from crookedness. Therefore, the Samayik restraint was explained to them in an undifferentiated form.
The restraint of Pariharavishuddhi is that which involves the elimination of Prariravadha along with specific purification. One who has enjoyed pleasures according to their desires for thirty years, and has then adopted the Samayik restraint, which is uniform with the ordinary, and specifically the Chedopastapana restraint, which includes five Samitis and three Guptis, and has served at the feet of the Tirthankara for a year of separation, and who has mastered the ninth Purva called Pratyakhyana, and who knows the nature of the origin and destruction of beings, the time and place, the substance, etc., and who is diligent, powerful, excellent in destroying the impurities, and practices the extremely difficult conduct, is the one who adopts the Pariharavishuddhi restraint. They travel two Kos daily, except for the three Sandhya times, but do not travel at night.
"**Pariharadhisametah sadjiivanikaayasankule biharam | Papseva panapatram na lipyate papanivahen ||**"
Even while dwelling in a place filled with the six groups of living beings, a Muni with Pariharavishuddhi and its associated powers does not become stained by sin, just as a lotus leaf, even while dwelling in water, does not become wet. The lowest time period for Pariharavishuddhi is Antarmuhurta, because after attaining Pariharavishuddhi restraint, one remains in it for a short time and then attains another Gunasthan, which is called Antarmuhurta. The time period for the slightly lower than the highest category is Purva Koti. After spending thirty years in complete happiness, one spends a year of separation at the feet of the Tirthankara, then studies the Pratyakhyana Purva, and then attains Pariharavishuddhi restraint. After remaining in it for a slightly lower than the highest category of years, they are born as a Deva. This is the time period for that being. Thus, the time period for Pariharavishuddhi restraint is less than thirty-eight years of Purva Koti. Some Acharyas say it is less than sixteen years of Purva Koti, while others say it is less than twenty-two years of Purva Koti.
The nature of Samayik restraint, Chedopastapana restraint, and Pariharavishuddhi restraint is explained in detail in the commentary on the Dhavala Grantha, Bhasya 464-468. One should also refer to that.
