JAINISM
Practising the vow in a wrong place, that is, where there are insects that you might kill, while sitting or standing,
Forgetting the rites, i.e., leaving off in, say, 40 minutes, when you have determined upon 48 minutes,
TENTH VOW
(DISAVAKASIKA VRATA) Is reducing to a minimum the space in which we will move. It is undertaking to limit oneself to the space of one house, or one room for a day, once a year at least. It is the sixth vow, but more severe; in one form, it is to restrict daily our movements, according to our needs. One should not do anything which is beyond the linit specified.
PARTIAL TRANSGRESSIONS*
Ordering things beyond the limit. Sending someone on some business beyond the limit. Making some sound to attract the attention of some one beyond the limit.
Making some sign to some one, beyond the limit, to come to you. Throwing something to a person beyond the limit, in order to attract his attention.
ELEVENTH VOW
(PAUSADHOPAVASA VRATA) The eleventh vow is the same as the ninth, but continued for twelve or twenty-four hours, and accompanied by some fasting. By fasting we remove impurities. If the vow is taken, it must be practised at least once a year.
