________________ to spiritually developed direction is called good activity while the activity leading one to malign state is called bad activity. Here repentance is done about engagement in bad activity. In brief the bad activity is of five types: (1) Wicked man's readiness to hurt others: the activity done by the body is called this activity (kayiki kriya) (2) Having weapons of causing hurt (adhikarniki kirya): the weapons are called adhukaran. All the sinful activities arising out of preparation and use of such weapons are in the category of Adhikarniki kirya. 3 (3) Pradveshiki kirya: any thing which may accuse others. Such a tendency arises out of jealousy, hatred and the like. (4) Paritapaniki kirya: any thing which may cause mental pain to oneself.or others. (5) Pranatipatiki kirya: depriving another of vitalities. It is generated by violence. Repentance of contemplation engaged in sensual objects: The words, sight, smell, taste or touch that generate sensual desire is called contemplation engaged in sensual objects. In order to purify the mind disturbed by the said five senses, the practitioner resorts to self-analysis and repentance. Self-analysis and repentance relating to major vows: The vow undertaken with nine forms of restraints is called major vow. When three doings (doing, getting done and supporting what is done) is multiplied with three organs (yogas namely. mind, word and action) it results in nine forms. Five major vows are (1) non-violence, (2) truth, (3) non-stealing, (4) celibacy and (5) non-attachment. A monk does not commit five faults of violence, falsehood, stealing, non-celibacy and attachment himself mentally, orally and physically. Further he does not get such faults committed and does not even support commitment of such faults. The gist of repentance relating to major vows is that in case while practicing major vows any fault is committed, I withdraw from the same. Repentance for lack of care: Five major vows are called fundamental qualities. The carefulness that nurtures and safe-guards them is called samiti. Samiti means conduct accoding to scriptures (agams). The nature of five carefulnesses is as under: (1) Proper care in walking (Iriya samiti): One should move looking at the ground upto 4 cells so that no violence is caused to any living being. चतुर्थ अध्ययन : प्रतिक्रमण Avashyak Sutra // 122 //
