________________ RESTRAINTS THE ESSENCE OF JAIN PRACTICE 135 This sutra deals with the restraint relating to limiting the areas of activities. In order to lay limits over the activities, one is required to specify the area within which he would operate. Such limitations can be laid in respect of different directions. Jainism specifies them in respect of upward, downward and horizontal directions. Transgressing the limitations in those three directions is termed as first three transgressions of this restraint. To increase the extent of operation in one direction by reducing it in another is considered the fourth and forgetting about the limitations is treated as the fifth transgression of this restraint. आनयनप्रेष्यप्रयोगशब्दरूपानुपातपुद्गलप्रक्षेपाः // 7-26 // 7.26: Anayanpreshyaprayogshabdaroopanupatpudgalprakshepah (Getting something from beyond the set limits, asking a servant to get it, drawing the attention of someone by creating some sound, by projecting one's presence or by flinging some article are the five transgressions of the seventh restraint.) This sutra deals with the restraint relating to further restricting the areas of operation for a certain period, say, for a day or a few hours. Any activity, direct or indirect, beyond the restricted area during the time set for the purpose, constitutes transgression. Getting something from beyond the set limits, asking a servant to get it from beyond the limits, drawing the attention of someone beyond the limits by creating some sound, by projecting one's presence and by flinging some article are treated as five transgressions of this restraint. कन्दर्पकौत्कुच्यमौखर्यासमीक्ष्याधिकरणोपभोगाधिकत्वानि // 7-27 // Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
