Ratnakarandaka-śrāvakācāra
व्यापत्तिव्यपनोदः पदयोः संवाहनं च गुणरागात् । वैयावृत्यं यावानुपग्रहोऽन्योऽपि संयमिनाम् ॥११२ ॥
सामान्यार्थ - सम्यग्दर्शनादि गुणों की प्रीति से सकलव्रत और देशव्रत के धारक संयमीजनों को आई हुई नाना-प्रकार की आपत्तियों को दूर करना, पैरों का (उपलक्षण से हस्तादिक अंगो का) दाबना और अन्य भी जितना उपकार है वह वैयावृत्य कहलाता है।
Acts of compassion, out of one's fondness with qualities like right faith, such as removing distress of any kind that may have caused to persons observing complete or partial abstinence, and serving them in all possible ways, including massaging their feet, are included in the vow of serving the noble ones (vaiyāurtya).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Acārya Amrtacandra's Purusārthasiddhyupāya:
पात्रं त्रिभेदमुक्तं संयोगो मोक्षकारणगुणानाम् । अविरतसम्यग्दृष्टिर्विरताविरतश्च सकलविरतश्च ॥ १७१ ॥ The recipients of gift (dāna) must have qualities that lead to liberation – right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct. Depending on the level of their advancement on the path to liberation, the recipients are categorized into three classes: right believers without vows, with partial vows, and with great vows.
