Pratilekhanāviśuddhi: Pratilekhana are 25 types of scrutiny belonging to the seventy types of karaṇa. Besides the material meaning of upakaraṇa (ascetic equipment like broom, bowl, etc.), the spiritual meaning examines these listed qualities of sādhus, with the exception of parīṣahasahana (bearing of difficulties) and upasargasahana (bearing of suffering), which happen passively, the other qualities are active actions and 25 in number, and these must be maintained and remembered as a guide throughout the day for the sādhu or sādhvī to be remembered (purified) every morning. Supportive of this interpretation we find the word upakaraṇa in a note from Bhagavatī as auxiliary parts and since sādhu or sādhvī is on the spiritual path and the scriptures deal only with the spiritual aspects, we must take this meaning as more sustainable for attaining the goal (mokṣa).
“Objective sense organs are made of matter and have two sides called nirvṛtti (external form) and upakaraṇa (their supporting sides). Subjective sense organs also have two sides, namely, labdhi (power) and upayoga (knowledge/perception). Objective organs exist only with the body, but subjective organs exist with the soul even when the body is abandoned." (Bhagavatī Sūtra, translation by K.C. Lalwani, Jain Bhavan, Calcutta 1973, Śataka 1, page 106, answer 242, note 149 on page 265).
