Unfortunately, I cannot access external websites or specific files, including the catalog link you provided for "42 Dashvaikalik Satik Vishayanukram." Therefore, I am unable to provide a comprehensive summary of the book based on its content.

However, I can tell you what the title "42 Dashvaikalik Satik Vishayanukram" likely signifies in the context of Jain literature, which might give you some clues about its content:

• Dashvaikalik Sutra (दशवैकालिक सूत्र): This is one of the six Anuyoga Dvaras (canonical texts) of the Shvetambara tradition of Jainism. It's considered one of the most important canonical texts after the Acharanga Sutra. The Dashvaikalik Sutra deals with various important topics related to the conduct and teachings of Jain ascetics and laypeople. It covers:

  • The rules and regulations for monks and nuns (sadhu and sadhvi).
  • The duties and observances of householders (shravaka and shravika).
  • The nature of karma and its consequences.
  • The path to liberation (moksha).
  • Various ethical principles and virtues.
  • Discussions on austerities (tapas) and their importance.
  • The stages of spiritual development.

• 42 (byadalis): This number, 42, likely refers to the number of chapters, sections, or specific topics covered within this particular edition or commentary of the Dashvaikalik Sutra. Jain texts often have numbered sections or specific enumerations of principles.

• Satik (सातिक): This word often implies with a commentary or explanation. So, this likely refers to the Dashvaikalik Sutra with a commentary.

• Vishayanukram (विषयानुक्रम): This translates to an index of subjects or topics. Therefore, "Vishayanukram" suggests that this book is an index or a structured overview of the subjects and themes present within the Dashvaikalik Sutra and its commentary.

Putting it all together, "42 Dashvaikalik Satik Vishayanukram" likely refers to:

An index or structured overview of the subjects and topics covered in a commentary on the Dashvaikalik Sutra, specifically enumerating 42 distinct areas or chapters.

What a summary of this book would likely entail, if I could access it, would be:

• A description of the scope and organization of the index.
• A list of the 42 key topics covered in the Dashvaikalik Sutra and its commentary.

• An identification of the commentator(s), if the "Satik" part implies a specific commentary is being indexed.
• An explanation of the purpose and utility of this particular index for scholars or practitioners of Jainism.

1. Access the book directly.
2. Read through the Vishayanukram (index) and any introductory material.
