11 anu aml 4419711 Elaboration-Essence : The pious life story of Bhagavan Mahavir is given in brief at the beginning of this chapter. After that the frame work of the Shraman religion propagated by him has been presented in the form of five great vows and their bhaavanas (stimulants).
The five great vows have been mentioned in the same order in the fourth chapter of Dashavaikalika Sutra. This detailed discussion about the twenty fives bhaavanas, five each of the five great vows, is also available in the Samvar Duar of Prashna Vyakaran Sutra. These bhaavanas are very important for faultless and continued observation of the five-great vows. That is the reason why these bhaavanas find mention at many places in Agams. For example in Samvayanga Sutra, chapter 25; Sthananga Sutra, chapter 9 (Navagupti Prakaran); Uttaradhyayan, chapter 16 and the seventh chapter of Acharanga Churni, Avashyak Churni and Tattvartha Sutra description of these bhaavanas is available with slight variations in nomenclature.
The order of these bhaavanas given by Shilankacharya, the author of the Vritti, is found in the hand written manuscripts available today. However, it appears that the author of the Acharanga Churni had some older and more detailed texts available. The version of the text used by the author of the Churni is not available in the existing copies of Acharanga Sutra but in Avashyak Churni more detailed text, similar to it, is available.
In short, a Shraman should observe the five great vows with right, faultless and lofty bhaavanas. Only that attitude makes him an accomplished follower of Shraman religion.
