________________ अध्याय-९ of homage - upacāravinaya. Reverence (vinaya) is added to the words in the sūtra - reverence to knowledge – jñānavinaya, reverence to faith – darśanavinaya, reverence to conduct - caritravinaya, and reverence to the custom of homage - upacāravinaya. Acquiring knowledge, practising knowledge, recollecting knowledge, and so on, with great veneration and with the object of attaining liberation, constitute reverence to knowledge. Belief in the nature of reality without doubt, etc., is reverence to faith. Absorption in conduct, with knowledge and faith, by the right-believer (samyagdęsti) is reverence to conduct. Rising up, offering welcome and making obeisance in the presence of the head of the order of ascetics and other great ones constitute reverential homage. Making obeisance with the body, speech or mind, extolling their merits and recollecting them, even with regard to the great ones who are not present, also constitute reverence to the custom of homage. The subdivisions of respectful service – vaiyāurttya - are described next. आचार्योपाध्यायतपस्विशैक्षग्लानगणकुलसंघसाधु HFIŞIAT4 117811 [ आचार्योपाध्यायतपस्विशैक्षग्लानगणकुलसंघसाधुमनोज्ञानाम् ] आचार्य, 398221, 0407, star, A, TUT, ogs, LE, FL BIN HATET - इनकी सेवा करना सो वैयावृत्त्य तप के दस भेद हैं। The ten subdivisions of respectful service – vaiyāvịttya – are: respectful service to the head – ācārya, the preceptor - upādhyāya, the ascetic - tapasvī, the disciple – śaikşa, 381
