Description

<p>Bṛhatkalpabhāṣya 6364 prescribes ten kinds of monastic rules for the monks. These rules are for those who are: (1) in the position of the monk who practices sāmāyika, and (2) in the position of the monk who must be newly initiated because he has been demoted from his position due to transgressions. In this article, I point out that while the enumeration of these rules is not found in any Śvetāmbara scriptures, Bṛhatkalpabhāṣya 6364 has parallel verses in other Śvetāmbara Bhāṣya commentaries, the works of Haribhadra Virahāṅka, and the Digambara pseudo-canon or the Bhagavatī Ārādhanā and the Mūlācāra. I also point out that the Śvetāmbaras and the Digambaras give different interpretations to the first rule on “nudity (accelakka, etc.).” While the Digambaras interpret “nudity” as a synomym of aparigraha or non-attachment, the Śvetāmbaras argue that a monk is regarded as “nude” only if he wears rag clothes.</p>
