峾⾱첹ٲ (सामायिकव्र�) or simply Sāmāyika is the name of a vow mentioned in chapter 1.3 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as mentioned in Ṛṣabha’s sermon:�

“[...] the restraint of the senses with the whole soul is called ٰ. It may be partial in laymen devoted to the yatidharmas. The roots of right-belief are the five lesser vows (걹ٲ), the three meritorious vows (ṇaٲ), and the four disciplinary vows (śṣāvٲ) of laymen. [...] Tranquillity for three-quarters of an hour of one who has abandoned painful and evil meditation, and has abandoned censurable activity is known as the 峾⾱첹ٲ�.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
