**Verse 476-477**
_In the third Samayika pratima, one should perform Samayika for one muhurta each morning, midday, and evening._
**"One who is established with the arrangement of four times three vessels, four prostrations, Arva Kayotsarga, and two Nishadhyanas, and who is situated in the natural form, purifies the three yogas of mind, speech, and body, and performs the act of veneration at the three sandhyas (morning, midday, afternoon), is the third pratima-bearing Shravaka called Samayika."**
_In the fourth Proshadha pratima, one should fast according to one's capacity on every Ashtami and Chaturdashi._
**"One who, on all four festival days of each month, that is, on every Ashtami and Chaturdashi, without hiding one's capacity, engages in auspicious feelings (meditation, self-study, worship, etc.) and establishes the rule of Proshadha with concentration, or who observes the Proshadha fast according to the rule, is the fourth Shravaka, the holder of the Proshadha fast."**
_In the fifth Sachitta-Tyaga pratima, one abandons the consumption of Sachitta substances._
**"One who does not eat raw roots, fruits, vegetables, branches (shoots), karir (knots), tubers, flowers, and seeds, is the holder of the fifth pratima, the 'Sachittavirata' form."**
_In the sixth Ratribhukti-Virati pratima, one abandons the eating and feeding at night, or one protects oneself from sexual activity during the day._
**"One who, being compassionate, does not eat food, drink, edibles, or lickables at night, is the holder of the sixth form, the Ratribhuktivirata, with a mind that is compassionate towards beings."**
_If his young son cries from hunger, even then the sixth pratima-bearer does not eat at night._
