MODERN JAINISM.
(2) Chedopasthāpaniya Cāsitra ( 1 424140114 211224), repenting for all sins.
(3) Parihāra Vis'uddha Cāritra (42812 Gall u271). This third rule is variously given by the various sects; it may mean to go when ordered by a superior to a miserable place as a test of endurance.
(4) Sukamaram parāya Căritra (287214214 211628). To try and have very little attachment to this world. There are, as we saw, fourteen stages on the way to Liberation, and he who is thus but lightly tied to this world has reached the tenth stage.
(5) Yathākhyāta Cãritra (4412418 4162). The fifth rule of conduct is carried out when one has lost all attachment to the world and thinks only of the soul. This is to attain the thirteenth and fourteenth stages towards Liberation.
v. Nirjara' (Cecai.) The fifth great principle or category of Jainism deals with the partial destruction of Karma. It is effected by those exterior and interior austerities which we have already discussed under Tapa when we were studying the ten duties of monks and nuns. *
vi. Bandha (42.) The sixth principle is also concerned with Karma and our bondage to it. Each of the eight Karma already mentioned is considered with regard to its nature, duration, quality and quantity. * See page 34
