550/Go. Sa. Jivakanda
Gatha 476-477
The pure-minded runner, in that regular time, takes refuge in the Ahimsa Vrata, characterized by the abandonment of violence, outside the area defined by the rules.
Vesaavakaasikaṁ syāt kāla-paricchedanena desasya.
Pratyaham aṇuvratānā prati saṁhāraḥ viśālasya. ||62|| [Ratnakaranda Shravakaachar]
The Anuvrata-observing Shravakas' Deshanivritti-oriented Vrata is the daily reduction of the vast country taken in Digbat, with the time limit.
In Vasunandi Shravakaachar, the Deshavrat is described as a multiplier, but its nature is described differently.
Vaya-bhanga-kāraṇaṁ hoi jammi desammi tastha riṇayameṛā.
Koraī gamgariyeyatti taṁ jāraṇa guṇavadhaṁ viviyaṁ. ||215|| [Vasunandi Shravakaachar]
- One should know that the Deshavrat, which is the regular avoidance of going to the country where the cause of Vratabhanga arises, is a Gunavrat with a different name.
Yatra vratasya bhangah syād dese tatra prayatnatah.
Gamanasya nivrittiḥ yā sā desaviratirmātā. ||141|| [Gunabhushan Shravakaachar] - Deshavrat is the deliberate abandonment of going to the country where there is a possibility of Vratabhanga.
Shikshavat Shikshavat-Jina Vratas, whose observance leads to the education of taking Muni Vratas or becoming a Muni, are Shikshaashrat. Although their number is four, there are many differences of opinion among the Acharyas regarding their names. These differences of opinion are as follows -
