Anuvrata
.

The ‘lesser vows’ which Jain lay-people take, as a kind of parallel to the great vows of the ascetics. They are applied to the practice of daily life. The
gunavratas
are three supplementary vows, restricting unnecessary travel (in the light of (i) above, and counteracting self-indulgence and extravagance). The
ik
avratas
are three vows of instruction, relating to specific religious duties.
