First, the question as to the possibility of the simultaneous existence of the five vicious acts is discussed in a general way. Then, we are informed as to whether or not the simultaneous existence of these five vicious acts is possible in this or that from among the 24 classes of living beings (1607-16). These five vicious acts are given a common name "ayojikā.'. Again, the possibility of their simultaneous existence in general and then in the class of infernal beings etc. is discussed in the same way as is done in the immediately preceding sūtras (1617–19). Not only that but we are also asked to ponder over the problem of their simultaneity from the standpoints of space and time. And all the alternatives that could be formulated from the standpoint of time are enumerated (1620).
After this the chapter gives an account of the other five vicious acts beginning with arambhika. Pramattasamyata, etc. are here mentioned as the possessor of these vicious acts (1622-26). This is followed by the treatment of the question as to in which classes of living beings from among the 24 classes these vicious acts are found (1627). The problem of their sumultaneity is also discussed (1628-36). And at last there occurs the treatment of this same from the standpoints of space and time (1636).
Eighteen vicious acts have already been treated of in sū. 1578-80. Now the question of the possibility of the refrainment from this or that vicious act in a particular class of living beings is discussed (1637-41). And we are informed that the refrainment from 17 vicious acts beginning with prānātipāta is possible in the class of human beings alone, and that the refrainment from mithyadarśana is not possible in the class of the onesensed as also in that of the vikalendriya whereas in the remaining classes it is possible.
Then we are told as to how many types of karmas are bound at the time of the refrainment from this or that vice from among the 18. In this connection 27 alternatives possible in the living beings in general are enumerated. And it is discussed as to how many alternatives are possible in this or that class of living beings from among the twentyfour (1642-49).
Again, we are told as to whether or not the vicious acts arambhiki etc. are possible in the case of living beings refrained from vicious acts, viz. prāņătipāta etc., and if they are possible how many of them are possible (1650-62).
At the end of the chapter there occurs the account of relative numerical strength of the vicious acts, viz. ärambhiki etc. They are mentioned below according to the ascending order of their
