Kalpa Sutra
Actually, two things are implied, viz, scattering of fried rice ( लाज) and hanging of the canopy (उल्लोच ) ।
25. TT-According to the commentator, लासका रासकान् ददति जयशब्दप्रयोक्तारो वा । This is not correct. If read as रासक it should mean a small dance-drama. The word means a dancer; Feminine | S. 100
26. ठिइ-पडिया It is a ceremony at child birth which lasts for 10 days. Jacobi's rendering of it as frafa afaat does not lead anywhere. Of six ceremonies prescribed for the Jaina householders, viz., इज्या, वार्ता, दन्ति, स्वाध्याय, संयम and तपः, इज्या stands first. This is propitiation of deities, spiritual master and scriptures. frafa is span of life. The word f3 has been used in the Sūtra is another connection. (see 50) S. 102
27. Hardship. Hardship is deliberately courted and borne to terminate karma bondage. Twenty-two hardships have been named as follows :
hunger, thirst, cold, heat, insect bite, clothing, residence, celibacy, wandering, living at places avoided by others, bed, spite, torture, begging, indifference to disappointment in begging, disease, thorn, dirt, indifference to fame and insult, giving up pride of learning or of shame for ignorance, equanimity which means not losing faith in Jainism. S. 108
28. इरिया - समिति — Samiti means precaution. Five precautions are part of 57 samvaras which are intended to prevent fresh influx of karma matter. Five precautions are as follows: (i) precaution regarding movement, sleeping, standing, lying, etc., (ii) precaution regarding the use of words or speech, (iii) precaution in the course of begging, (iv) keeping things in the monk's use perfectly clean and dust-free, (v) precaution in depositing excreta, unused food, etc. S. 118
29. -without asrava. Asrava refers to inlet of fresh fetters generated by pious and impious karma that bind the soul. Compare:
