(Ans.) To provide a synopsis or purview of the subject included in a particular chapter (of Avashyak Sutra) is called Arthadhikar (synopsis). For example
(1) Abstinence from all sinful activities (including killing of beings) is the subject included in the first chapter called Samayik.
(2) Eulogizing or praising the twenty four Tirthankars is the to subject included in the second chapter called Chaturvinshatistava.
(3) Offering of homage to the venerable is the subject included in the third chapter called Vandana.
(4) Critical review of the faults and transgressions committed is the subject included in the fourth chapter called Pratikraman.
(5) Mending the ways of transgression (mentioned as healing the wounds) is the subject included in the fifth chapter called Kayotsarg.
(6) Acquiring virtues is the subject included in the sixth chapter called Pratyakhyan.
This concludes the description of Arthadhikar (synopsis or purview).
Elaboration—The difference between Vaktavyata (explication) and Arthadhikar (synopsis) is that the former is specific and covers even smaller sections or individual concepts included in a chapter whereas the latter covers the whole chapter or the overall theme of the chapter from the beginning to the end. Arthadhikar (synopsis) is wider in scope and Vaktavyata (explication) is limited.
