Faina Ethics ing five as transgression of this vowl :
1. Deceit (vañcanāpravartana), 2. Harmful activity (ärambhapravartana), 3. Violence (himsāpravartana), 4. Overloading of animals (bhārādhikya), 5. Inflicting the animals excessively (ati klesa).
Now we proceed to discuss the transgressions of anarthadaņdaviramaņa as shown by Tattvārthas ülra :
1. Kandarpa : It is associated with concupiscence.? According to Cāmundarāya kandarpa is the result of cāritramoha.3
2. Kautkucya : It means vulgar speech.4 The idea is that a frāvaka should be modest and should not be outspoken.
3. Maukharya : It means non-sensical and purposeless talking 5
The above three transgressions exhort a śrāvaka to use speech sparingly and carefully.
4. Upabhogādhikya : This refers to unnecessary accumulation of articles and avoidance of excessive use of ornaments etc.
5. Asamikspādhikaraṇa : This includes destroying life without any self-interest.? Bhogopabhogaparimāņavrata
All Svetāmbara, and even amongst Digambaras Kundakunda, Samantabhadra, and Āsādhara, include bhogopabhogaparimāņavrata in gunavratas. The tradition of Tattvārthas ūtra, however, places it in sikşāvratas.
The word upabhoga indicates those objects which can be used only once, for example, food, drink, garland. etc. The word paribhoga means objects which can be used. repeatedly as cover, ornaments, bed, seat, house, etc.3 Thus this vow
