Srāvakācāra and Pañcăcăra : 91
4. Kāyakleśa : Bearing with the severities of loch (removing
hair with the hand), traversing on foot, impediments and difficulties. Upasarga here means the impediments caused by gods, human beings and animals. Śrāvaka should bear the
pain of severities. 5. Rasatyāga : Srāvaka should renounce the attachment for
taste in food and drinks. 6. Samlīnatā : Preventing the body, organs, the voice, the
senses and the mind from engaging themselves
in evil propensities and restraining them. (B) Internal: The six kinds of internal austerities: Prāyaścitta, Vinaya, Vaiyāvacca, Svādhyāya, Kāyotsarga and Dhyāna. Prāyaścitta means atonement for sins.. 1. Prāyaścitta: Srāvaka can self scrutinize his spiritual purification; the purification of the citta and the destructions of karmas. There are 10 kinds of Prayascittas”3: (i) Alocanā: Self criticism revealing to the Gurumahārāja the propensity that prompted one to commit sins. Srāvaka has to make Alocanā. (ii) Pratikramaņa: Discarding sins by means of genuine repentance (mityāduşkệta-may my sins be falsified). Śrāvaka can pray for his sins being falsified. (iii) Tadubhaya: It is combination of Alocanã and Pratikramaņa. When an eardication of a defect needs both, there comes tadubhaya. (iv) Viveka: Discarding unnecessary and unacceptable food and other substances. Srāvaka should not purchase unnecessary substances. (v) Vyutsarga: Carrying out a kāyotsarga to avoid impediments to the study of sūtras or pratikramana or the pursuit of knowledge. Śrāvaka can move forward towards pursuit of knowledge. (vi) Tapa: The austerities and penances suggested by the Gurumahārāja as atonement for sins. Śrāvaka can follow austerities.
