Niyamasara

A modern English translation was published by Vijay K. Jain in 2019.

He stresses that Vyavahara caritra is based on samyama (self-restraint) and hence rooted in appropriate psychic disposition.

He places great emphasis on cleansing the soul of vibhavas, internal impurities, through self-discipline.

This characterization is based on psychological and pragmatic considerations and if put in practice properly it would lead to internal and external purity and annihilation of the four passions.

Another unique feature of this text is its description of parama samadhi, not found elsewhere in Jain literature.
