Elaboration Generally speaking, practice of equanimous attitude is called samayık This is of two kinds-life-long and for a duration of antarmuhurt (less than 48 minutes) The life-long samayik (practice of equanimity) is meant for ascetics and the antarmuhurt samayik (practice of equanimity) for householders. The description of samayık (practice of equanimity) in this aphorism conveys the liberal and pious attitude of the person involved in the practice of samayik This is a description that assumes samayık (practice of equanimity) and its practitioner to be inseparable and it refers to ascetics who practice the life-long samayik (practice of equanimity).
The following two verses detail the attributes of samayık (practice of equanimity) and person qualified to indulge in the practice. सामायिक के अधिकारी के नाम (ब) जह मम ण पियं दुक्खं, जाणिय एमेव सव्वजीवाणं।
न हणइ न हणावेइ य, सममणती तेण सो समणो॥५॥ णत्थि य से कोइ वेसो पिओ, व सव्वेसु चेव जीवेसु।
एएण होइ समणो, एसो अनो वि पज्जाओ॥६॥ (ब) जैसे मुझे दुःख प्रिय नहीं है, वैसे ही सभी जीवों को भी दुःख प्रिय नहीं है, ऐसा जानकर जो न स्वयं किसी प्राणी की घात करता है, न दूसरों से करवाता है और न घात करने की अनुमोदना करता है, किन्तु सभी जीवों को अपने समान (सम) मानता है, वही समण (श्रमण) कहलाता है ॥५॥ __ जिसको किसी जीव के प्रति द्वेष नहीं है और न राग है, इस कारण वह सम मन वाला होता है। यह समन (श्रमण) का दूसरा पर्यायवाची नाम है॥६॥ PERSON QUALIFIED FOR SAMAYIK
(b) As suffering is not dear to me, so is it for all beings; knowing this he neither kills any being, nor causes killing or approves of killing. Instead, he considers all beings to be like his own self and therefore he is called a shraman (equal). (5)
He who neither has aversion nor attachment for any being, is therefore possessed of equanimous attitude (a shraman). This is another interpretation of the term shraman. (6)
