TRANSGRESSIONS OF NON-VIOLENCE AND TRUTH
207
24. There are five, five transgressions respectively for the vows and the supplementary vows.
'Vratašileşu' means with regard to the vows and the supplementary vows. It is contended that the inclusion of the supplementary vows is unnecessary, as these are implied in the vows. But it is not unnecessary. Limiting the directions and so on are included as supplementary vows, in order to indicate that, in the case of the householder, the seven supplementary vows are intended to safeguard the five vows of noninjury and so on.
Since this is the section of the householder, five, five transgressions mentioned subsequently must be taken to apply respectively to the vows and the supplementary vows of the householders. Now the transgressions of the vow of noninjury are described.
बन्धवधच्छेदातिभारारोपणानपाननिरोधाः ॥ २५ ॥ Bandhavadhacchedātībhārāropaņānnapānanirodhāḥ (25) 25. Binding, beating, mutilating limbs, overloading and withholding food and drink.
Fastening with cord or the like restrains movement from place to place as one desires. A blow is beating with a stick, a whip or a cane. It is not injury of vitalities. That has been given up already. Mutilation is cutting off of limbs such as the ear and the nose. Overloading is putting more weight than an animal or a human being can reasonably carry. Withholding food and drink is denying these to the animals when they feel hunger and thirst. These five are the transgressions of the small vow of non-violence.
