## Discussion on the 5 transgressions of the second vow, Bhogopabhoga Parimaan
I will discuss the 5 transgressions of the second vow, Bhogopabhoga Parimaan, as described in the third light of Yoga Shastra, verse 97, and I will not ask anyone else to do it. According to this rule, one should not go beyond the designated area, but if one asks or sends someone else to bring something from beyond the designated limit, then it is a transgression.
One who has taken the vow in such a way that they will not transgress the designated limit for themselves, will not be considered to have committed a transgression if they ask or send someone else to bring something from beyond the designated limit. In this way, the second, third, and fourth transgressions occur.
The fifth transgression, called Kshetravriddhi, occurs when a Shravak, having a designated area limit in one direction, reduces it and goes further in another direction with a smaller designated area. For example, if someone reduces the area limit in the east and extends it in the west, then they commit this fifth transgression.
Similarly, if someone has a travel limit of 100 yojanas in each direction, and they travel more than 100 yojanas in one direction, then if they reduce the travel limit in another direction by the same amount to maintain a balance of 100 yojanas on both sides, then this transgression occurs because it violates the area limit in relation to the vow.
If one transgresses the area limit unknowingly and without purpose, then they should return, not go further once they become aware, and not send others forward. If someone has gone unknowingly or by mistake, then they should renounce what they have obtained there and repent by saying "Miccha Mi Dukkadam".
## Now, the transgressions of the second vow, Bhogopabhoga Parimaan, are as follows:
1. **Sachitt** - meaning sentient,
2. **Sachitt Sambaddh** - seeds, kernels, etc. that are present in non-sentient food,
3. **Sammishra Abhishava** - food that is partly sentient and partly non-sentient,
4. **Dushpakva Aahar** - intoxicating substances made from multiple ingredients, and
5. **Dushpakva Aahar** - food that is half-cooked, half-raw, or overcooked.
These five are the transgressions of the second vow, Bhogopabhoga Parimaan, in order.
## Explanation:
Sachitt means "with consciousness". This means that any food that is alive is called Sachitt. Such food, which is itself a one-sense organism of the plant kingdom, is called Sachitt Aahar.
Here the question arises: How can a householder renounce Sachitt food when they have to cook wheat, etc., which are Sachitt substances? In response, it is said that the word "Aahar" (food) is attached to all five of these, Sachitt, etc. It is not attached in the original verse, but it is understood by implication. Therefore, in this vow, the Shravak does not renounce Sachitt, nor can they, because Sachitt includes all types of grains, such as soil, water, fire, fruits, flowers, vegetables, leaves, mung beans, chickpeas, etc. Therefore, they renounce Sachitt Aahar. When they eat, they do not eat it in its Sachitt form, but they eat it after making it non-sentient.
If someone who has renounced Sachitt Aahar eats something in its Sachitt form, then they commit the first transgression, which is a partial violation of the vow, provided that they have eaten it unknowingly, without purpose, in haste, or with the desire to eat or the intention to eat.
Sachittpratibandh Aahar means that the substance is non-sentient, but it contains a sentient substance. For example, ripe fruits like mangoes or dates, and nuts like dates and prunes, are non-sentient, but they contain kernels and seeds, which have the power to germinate, and therefore they are sentient. Therefore, when a renunciant of Sachitt eats ripe fruits, etc., they remove the kernels or seeds or process them with fire or spices to make them non-sentient before eating them. If a renunciant of Sachitt accidentally or without purpose, unknowingly or hastily, or with the thought "I will eat these after removing the seeds, etc.", eats dates, mangoes, etc., then they commit the second transgression, called Sachittpratibandh.
Sammishra Aahar means that a sentient substance is mixed with a non-sentient substance. For example, if a wheat roti is made, and it contains whole wheat grains, which are sentient. Or if non-sentient rice or barley is mixed with sentient sesame seeds, and it is eaten hastily, then the transgression called Sammishra Aahar is committed. Or if boiled water
