Section 4 Right Conduct - Subsidiary Vows (guņavrata)
चतुर्थ परिच्छेद
दिग्व्रतमनर्थदण्डव्रतं च भोगोपभोगपरिमाणम् । अनुबॅहणाद्गुणानामाख्यान्ति गुणव्रतान्यार्याः ॥६७ ॥
सामान्यार्थ - तीर्थंकरदेव आदि उत्तम पुरुष आठ मूलगुणों की वृद्धि करने के कारण दिग्व्रत को, अनर्थदण्ड व्रत को और भोगोपभोगपरिमाणव्रत को गुणव्रत कहते हैं।
Since the three vows - of abstaining from activity with regard to direction (digvrata), of abstaining from purposeless sin (anarthadandavrata), and of limiting consumable and nonconsumable possessions (bhogopabhogaparimāņavrata) - enhance the value of the eight fundamental virtues (mūlaguna) of the householder, these have been termed as the subsidiary vows (guņavrata) by the Most Excellent saints.
