6th chapter of Uttaradhyayana Sutra
The 6th adhyaya (chapter) of the Uttarādhyāyana Sūtra is titled Muni Samācāra, i.e., The Monk’s Conduct. It describes the ideal behavior, discipline, and renunciation expected of a Jain monk, including how a mūṇi should discipline senses, dwell in restraint, and practice proper conduct in daily life and spiritual practice. In short, it sets out the code of conduct for mendicants as a path to purity and liberation. ( jainknowledge.com)
Notes on meaning and tradition:
- In the Śvetāmbara tradition, the Uttarādhyāyana Sūtra as a whole is a key text teaching right conduct (charitra) and the monk’s way of life; Chapter 6 specifically focuses on the inner and outer discipline of a monk. ( jainknowledge.com)
- There can be differences in emphasis or wording between Śvetāmbara and Digambara commentaries on various sutras. If you’re comparing traditions, the core idea remains the renunciation and strict self-control required of mendicants, with tradition-specific details in some passages.
