Elaboration-Here the gateways of Samvar (stoppage of inflow of Karma) is called great vows (Mahavrat). But in another context even minor vows (anuvrat) have been included in Samvar. The vows laid down for the householder devotees (Shravaks) are called anuvrat. In minor vows, the sins such as violence and other are not avoid completely. They are avoided to a limited extent. But the major vows are practiced mentally, vocally, physically in doing, getting done and also in supporting or appreciating activity being done. Since great vows or major vows are very great as compared to minor vows they are called great vows (Mahavrat).
The great vows result in both Samvar (stoppage of inflow of new Karma) and nirjara (destruction of Karmà already collected). Selfrestraint is the cause of Samvar while austerity is the cause of nirjara. To attain liberation, both Samvar and nirjara are necessary so they are called the sifters of Karma dust.
Major (great) vows are also called destroyers of hundred of wandering in life-spans. Their practice brings an end to many births and deaths. A living being saves himself from hundreds of troubles by their practice. He becomes capable of having many pleasures.
The great vows or the Samvars shall be discussed along with five thought reflections of each vow. This is because the thought reflections are in fact a part of the vows. By following them, it becomes easy to i practice the vows. They assist in practice of the vows. The vows then can be meticulously followed. In case one ignores the thought reflections, he shall face difficulty in practicing the vows. So the practitioner of vows should properly understand the relevant thought activities and practice them meticulously.
