gymnasium. The places which engender a feeling of attachment and the like, and which give rise to, or are associated with exhibitions of pride, conceit, sorrow, anger and affliction should also be avoided. The muni selects such places as a cave on the side of a hill, hollows in the trunks of trees and unoccupied dwellings reserved for the use of saints by pious householders. The saint should not lie down except to sleep. He may not recline. When sleeping, he should lie only on one side and should not change to the other during sleep.
वाक्य शुद्धि Vakya Suddhi is the purification of speech. The saint should never utter speech that has a tendency to the causing of himsā (injury), fightingorexiting passions; his words should not be insulting or harsh, nor in the nature of back biting, nor should they be uttered to reveal the secrets of others. The Sadhu avoids reciting tales of love, adventure and high living and also political gossip. He seeks only to impart a useful lesson to his hearers and to encourage them to adopt the vows and to cultivate the virtue of righteousness. His discourse should be brief, sweet, agreeable and productive of the spirit of true Vairagya (renunciation) Self-praise is as objectionable for the saint as talking ill of others. All goodness comes to offer itself to him who has attained to the vakya suddhi in asceticism.
