The Twelve vows of a house-holder are:
सम्यक्त्वमूलानि पश्चाणुव्रतानि गुणास्रयः ।। शिक्षापदानि चत्वारि ब्रतानि गृहमेधिनाम् ॥ १ ॥ Samyaktva-mūlāni panca aņuvratani guņāstrayab Śiksa-padāni catvāri vratāni griha-médhinām
1. Closely associated with Samyaktva ( Right Belief ) as the basis, the (twelve) vows of a house-holder are Five Anu Vratas (minor vows) three Guna Vratas, and four Siksa Vratas.
Samyaktvaया देवे देवताधुद्धिगुरौ च गुरुतामतिः । धर्मे च धर्मधीः शुद्धा, सम्यक्त्वमिदमुच्यते ॥२॥
2 Ya deve devatabuddhi-r-gurau ca gurutamatih Dharmó ca dharma-dhin suddhă samyaktvamidamucyaté 2
2 The veneration for a deity as a Symbol of godli-ness, and respect for a guru (a teacher) as a person of high virtues, and, pure religious confidence in a (true) religion-All this is Samyaktva (Right Belief). 1.
Mithyātva अदेवे देवबुद्धियाँ, गुरुधीरगुरौ च या ।
अधर्मे धर्मबुद्धिर्या, मिथ्यात्वं तद्विपर्ययात् ॥ ३ ॥ 3. Adóvé dévabuddhi-r-yā, gurudhiragurau ca yā
Adharmé dharma-buddhi-r-yā Mithyātvam tadviparyayāt. 3
3. The sense of godliness in a deity who is an undeserving god, and the respect for a guru (a teacher) who is an undeserving guru, and the confidence as a (true) religion in a faith that is not deserving to be called a religion-That is Mithyātva bwing to perversion 3.
