Celebrate celibacy, curtail household activity and acquisition; To renunciate is real.
Progress through the higher pratimas involves an increased rigour in observing each and every step, and eventually they prepare conditions, if one chooses, to totally renounce household life and to enter ascetic fold.
Ņirāyāram - The Ascetic - Possessiveless Type
This is the other category of the Restraint Conduct type, ņirāyāram - possessionless (Skt. anagāra), in the classification. Ņirāyāraṁ type is exclusively meant as code of conduct for ascetics only. Kundakunda deals about this in the next half of the treatise, in great detail.
Pancēndiyasamvaranar panca vayā pancavimsakiriyāsu Panca samidi taya gutti samjamacaraṇam ņirāyāraṁ - 28
Be cautious in five-senses, observe five mahāvratās, lead acts of piety, And together with five regulations, three restraints shape ascetic sanctity.
Pancēndiyasamvaranaṁ - five senses are touch, smell, hearing, sight and taste), mahávratās, five samidis - self-regulations (Skt. samitis) and three guttis - restraints (Skt. guptis) are essential attributes of code of conduct for ascetics. Kundakunda expands various attributes in detail and describes them in the following gāhās - 29, 37 and 32:
Amaņuņņē ya maņuņņē sajivadavvē ajivadavvē ya Ņ karēdi rāyadāsē pancendiya samvarð bhaņio - 29.
He who neither has attachment nor revulsion to sentient or insentient Is one to be become a spiritual individual immediately.
