**Chapter One Hundred and Five**
**Right Conduct**
**223.** Vಿನಯ, ನಿಯಮ, ಶೀಲ, ಜ್ಞಾನ, ದಯ, ದಮ, and meditation for liberation, when these are present, it is called Right Conduct.
**224.** This Right Conduct, endowed with these qualities, as spoken by the Jinas, is to be followed for the attainment of liberation, the highest good.
**225.** A being with Right Faith can do what is possible, and refrains from what is impossible. A being with Right Faith and Right Knowledge is capable of following Right Conduct.
**226.** Where these great qualities are not present, there is no Right Conduct, and no escape from the cycle of birth and death.
**227.** Where there is no compassion, self-control, or forgiveness, there is no restraint, no knowledge, no renunciation, and no religion.
**228.** Where violence, falsehood, theft, lust, and attachment are practiced in the name of religion, there is no religion.
**229.** One who, after taking initiation, indulges in sin with a foolish mind, has neither Right Conduct nor liberation.
**230.** Where the suffering of the six categories of living beings is inflicted for the sake of pleasure under the guise of religion, liberation is not attained.
**231.** What is the initiation of one who is attached to villages, fields, etc., and who engages in killing, beating, binding, torturing, and exploiting?
**232.** What liberation can a wicked, initiated person attain who is attached to buying and selling, cooks his own food, or begs, and keeps gold and other possessions?
**233.** Those who, after initiation, indulge in massage, bathing, rituals, garlands, incense, and ointments, are not liberated.
**234.** Those who, out of their own intellect, declare violence to be free from fault, and who criticize the scriptures, the way of life, and conduct, are fools.
**235.** One who stays in a village for one night, in a city for five nights, keeps his arms raised constantly, eats once a month, sleeps in the forest with the deer, wanders with them, performs the Bhrigu-pāt, remains silent, and renounces possessions, is a Kuliṅga, contaminated by false views.
**236.** One who is contaminated by false views, a Kuliṅga, devoid of the seed of liberation, cannot reach the abode of liberation even by walking.
