The path of achievement relating to the Jain dharma has
been divided into two kinds on the basis of the ability and strength of
the individuals. One is the acceptance of the life of an ascetic for the
sake of one's spiritual prosperity and this is an arduous path of
attainment. The other one is to remain as a Householder (Grihastha, a man
with a family), and to endeavour according to one's ability, to attain
self- purification.
1. Sarvavirati - The way of ascetic life (total
renunciation)
2. Deshvirati - The way of the householder (partial
renunciation)
