drawing attention by making sounds (3) ordering for needed things (4) beckoning by showing one's photos (5) or by sending or throwing the missiles of papers, in such situation they fail to put any check on their desires and passisons, then their observance of Deshavakashika vow becomes all useless. Hence the wise people are being advised to abstain themselves from all these five transgressions to make their vow a success and useful.

Hence those people who value the necessity of time they do observe the five vows in a time bound period without any transgression and thus they observe the "Samayika" Vow, which is performed every day for and at a fixed time.
मूर्धरुह - मुष्टिवासो - बन्धं पर्य्यङ्क-बन्धनं चापि ।
स्थान- मुपवेशनं वा समयं जानन्ति समयज्ञाः ॥ ९८ ॥
Explanation :
The wise perform the samayika by tying a knot in their "Choti" or a garment or by closing the Fist; they know the posture, the place as well as the suitable subjects of meditation and time.
Note:- Tying a knot in the choti implies a mental determination to continue meditation as long as is possible. It is intended for checking
