Śrāvaka (Jainism)

According to the Jain text Puruşārthasiddhyupāya:Ascetics who establish themselves in pure and absolute consciousness observe complete abstinence.

Those who practice the path of partial abstinence are called Śrāvaka.Ratnakaranda śrāvakācāra, a major Jain text, discusses the conduct of a Śrāvaka in detail.

Sāmayika can be performed anywhere: a temple, private residence, forest and the like, but the place shouldn't be open to disturbance of any kind.

[20] The Sallekhana, a voluntary vow of self-starvation, is performed by reducing one's food and fluid intake; the object is to die while engrossed in meditation, with equanimity of mind.

Sallekhana is seen to preserve the loss of good karma and to prevent the further effacing of grief, fear, anger, affection, hatred, prejudice etc.
