Fouth Shiksha-vrata
दानं चतुविधाहारं पात्राऽऽच्छादनसद्मनाम् । श्रतिथिभ्योऽतिथिसंविभागव्रतमुदीरितम्
Meaning: Atithisamvibhaga vrata is so called because its observance makes it incumbent upon the layman who undertakes it, to keep apart as reserved for guest part of four kinds of food, vessels, clothes, and residential place.
पश्य सङ्गमको नाम सम्पदं वत्सपालकः । चमत्कारकरों प्राप
115011
Meaning: See what a wonderful property Sangamaka, the breeder of the calves, got by giving alms, charities etc., to the monks.
Transgressions
व्रतानि सातिचाराणि सुकृताय भवन्ति न । प्रतिचारास्ततो हेयाः पञ्चपञ्च व्रतेते ॥ ८६ ॥
80
मुनिदानप्रभावतः ॥८८॥
Meaning: The observance of the vratas (vows) with transgressions does not do any good. Therefore, one should avoid them which are five in number in every vrata.
क्रोधाद् बन्धच्छविच्छेदोऽधिकभाराधिरोपणम् । प्रहारोऽन्नादिरोधश्चाहितायां परिकीर्तिताः ॥६०॥
Meaning: (1) To bind men or animals etc., out of anger and without caring for their death; (2) to tear apart their skin; (3) to overburden them with load; (4) to deal a blow at their vital parts; and (5) to stop feeding them. These five transgressions are concerned with the first vrata called ahimsa vrata.
