I know nothing about this topic so I am reviewing this article as someone who is looking to learn about sallekhana with very little background. I see this was part reviewed and then the reviewer retired. They review a bit differently than me in as much as I don't demand changes. I think of them more as suggestions and am willing to be convinced that the way you have it currently formed is the correct way. You know more about the topic than me afterall. Anyway reading through the previous part review I think most points are addressed or are not a major concern to me (some were useful though and I have raised some similar concerns below). There are also some comments by Nizil Shah on the talk page below this review. Some mirror ones I was already thinking and I think they should be at least responded to as part of this review.
The Doddahundi nishidhi inscription, a hero stone from Doddahundi, 18 km from Tirumakudalu Narasipura in the Mysore district, Karnataka state, India.Is this sentence incomplete. --- Rewriting Done
In both the writings of Jain Agamas and the general views of many followers of Jainism, due to the degree of self-actualisation and spiritual strength required by those who undertake the ritual, sallekhana is considered to be a display of utmost piety, purification and expiationalmost an exact repetition. --- moved and removed repeatation. Done
Death is for compunds whose dissolution is termedIs compunds a typo. It is a quote so if it is present as such in the quote it should stay, but needs a [ sic] so the readers know Done
The petition extends to those who facilitate individuals taking the vow of with aiding and abetting an act of suicide.Is sallenkhana missing here. --- added Done
He died on 18 September 1955.Don't think the convenience link leads to the right place. Found it through google books and it supports that statement.
According to Jain texts, sallekhana leads to ahimsā (non-violence or non-injury), as a person observing sallekhana subjugates the passions, which are the root cause of hiṃsā (injury or violence)Can't read page (stopped at 115 typically) so assuming good faith
Silent march were carried out in various cities.Should be marches. Source supports statement
The vow of sallekhana is observed by the Jain ascetics and lay votaries at the end of their life by gradually reducing the intake of food and liquidsThree cites for this statement. This one would probably is fine.
Jain ethical code also prescribes seven supplementary vows, which include three guņa vratas and four śikşā vratasPretty similar, but with such a simple statement it would be hard not to.
I've tried and resolved them. Please have a relook and let me know what more need to be done. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo ( talk · contribs · count) 02:49, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
I think this is very close. Just a few points.
means 'to thin out', 'scoure out' or 'to slender'should that be "scour out"
Properly thinning out the passions and the body through gradually abstaining from food and drink is called Sallekhana.This got a little repetitive with the "this is called Sallenkhana", but I think is important to mention. How about "Properly thinning out the passions and the body is accomplished through gradually abstaining from food and drink".
