Jaina Acara : Siddhānta aura Swarūpa (3) Paratara, i.e. who can only serve. (4) Anyatara, i.e. who can either serve or observe penance. Self-censure has been explained in detail. Attachment, fear and insult are the three causes of 'Kšiptacitta' (loss of mental equipoise in general). If you show special regard for somebody he tends to consider himself important which makes him 'Diptacitta'. The first of the two often remains silent whereas the other one is a chatter-box. He who knows the essence of scriptures, is adept at interpreting the text and never impatient deserves to be appointed Acārya. When the Acārya goes out, his feet should be cleaned and some proper place should be demarcated for his faeces and urnine. Other monks should serve him as desired by him, stay with him inside and go out with him. All respect at all hours should be shown to him. If a nun, after being initiated, wishes to join some other group for studies, she did not deserve to have been initiated at all.
He who eats eight morsels is 'alpāhāri', who eats twelve is apārahāri', who eats sixteen is ‘ardhāhari', who eats twentyfour is 'praptāvanaudarya', who eats thirty-one is 'kincidavamaudarya' and who eats thirty-two is ‘pramāņāhari'. Special vows and other allied subjects have been treated.
(46) Oghaniryuktilaghubhāsya (47) Oghaniryuktibhāşya (48) Pindaniryuktibhāsya (49) Uttarādhyanabhasya (50) Dasavaikālikabhāsya--All these deal with ascetics' conduct, some briefly and others in some detail.
'Curni literature' came into being after the glosses had exhausted themselves. Their language is ‘Prakrta' or mixed with Sanskrit. The topmost writer in this line was Jinadasaganimahattara.
(51) Avašyakacūrņi–It is a detailed exposition. It relates how Lord Mahāvīra freed himself from wrong belief. His life- sketch also finds place. It mentions eight schisms as also repentance, detachment etc. Other topics are prayer to twentyfour leading religious founders, discipline, boosting, forbidding and the like. 'Kayotsarga' finds especial mention. It is of two kinds : 'Cestā'-it is to expiate for lapses committed in going and coming from place to place. The other is 'abhibhava-It is taken recourse to when one is defeated or defeats others. The topics are varied and many.
(52) Dasavaikālika-One exposition is by Agastyasingha and the other by Mahattara. It is an important document on ascetics' conduct.
(53) Uttarādhyayana-The topics of this 'cūrņi' are those contained in the original text bearing the same title.
(54) Acāranga-The very same topics of this important work are here explained in detail.
(55) Jitakalpavrhatcūrni-It has been written by Siddhasena Sūri. The subjects are the same, only dealt with a little briefly.
