## Chapter Seven [289 **A special kind of attachment to memory is the cause of happiness.** The mind is constantly given to that which is desired for enjoyment, and this is the cause. These are the five transgressions of Sallekhana. 8725. Here, in the description of the karma-asrava that is the cause of becoming a Tirthankara, it was said, "by strength, by renunciation, by austerity." Again, in the description of the vows, it was said, "the vow of sharing with guests." The nature of this giving has not been known yet, so it is explained here: **Giving is the renunciation of one's own possessions for the sake of benefit.** ||38|| 8726. Benefit is the welfare of oneself and others. The welfare of oneself is the accumulation of punya; the welfare of others is the increase of right knowledge, etc. The word "own" refers to wealth. It should be understood that giving is the renunciation of one's own possessions for the sake of benefit. 8727. Here, it is said, "Giving has been described, but is its fruit the same for all, or is there some difference?" To this, it is said: **There is a difference in giving due to the difference in the method, the object given, the giver, and the recipient.** ||39|| 8728. The order of accepting, etc., is the method. The difference arises from the qualities. This word "difference" should be connected with each of the words "method," etc. Thus, there is a difference in the method, a difference in the object given, a difference in the giver, and a difference in the recipient. The difference in the method is the difference in respect and disrespect in accepting, etc. The difference in the object given is that which causes the increase of austerity, study, etc. The difference in the giver is the absence of envy, sorrow, etc. The difference in the recipient is being endowed with the qualities that are the cause of liberation. Just as there is a difference in the earth, etc., and therefore a difference in what is born from it...
