are the houseless monks, Lords, careful in walking, speech upto Gupta-Brahmacarin (self-controlled) and are not enlightened, observe the religious vow of awaking of the Abuddha (Chadmastha) in absence of Kevalajana (omniscience). Those who are the Sramanopasakas, knowers of Jivajiva (being and non-being), observe the vow of awaking (Sudukkhujāgarika) by religious thought and giving up negligence (or spiritual inertia) and sleep.
Besides these, the unflinching faith in and devotion to the truth of teachings of Guru (religious teacher), and those of the Jinas' and their practices by disciple and his reversion from the other opinions (i. e. non-predilection for others' teachings) formed the part of worship.'
Vyavahara"
It is a particular knowledge consequent upon exertion towards the spiritual realization and cessation from the worldly acts of striving after the material gain and it is also exertion made for spiritual realization.*
There are stated five kinds of Vyavahāra, viz. (1) Ágama (Purvas, Angas, etc.), (2) Sutta (Sutra-literature), (3) Aṇā (ajna), the rules prescribed by the Acarya, (4) Dharaṇā-purification of faults according to their respective corresponding injunctions of purification from the point of view of substance, space, time and condition and (5) Jita-expiation prescribed according to the physical power of the monk from the same aspects of substance upto condition, having taken them into consideration. "Agame, Sue Aṇa, Dharaṇā, Jie."
One should practise the Law according to the instruction of any one of these five Vyavaharas whichever of them is available (i.e. known) to him there, whatever his Agama, Sutra, Ajna, Dharana and Jita may be.
