[Ans.] Gautam ! While consuming pure (prasuk) and acceptable (eshaniya) food (etc.) an ascetic turns the strong bondage of seven species of karmas other than Ayu-karma (life-span determining karma) into weak bondage as in case of the ascetic who has stopped the inflow of karmas (samurit). The only difference is that he sometimes acquires and sometimes does not acquire the bondage of Ayu-karma. The rest is as aforesaid... and so on up to... terminates the cycles of rebirth.
[Q] Bhante! What is the reason for this... and so on up to... terminates the cycles of rebirth?
[Ans.] Gautam ! While consuming pure (prasuk) and acceptable (eshaniya) food (etc.) an ascetic does not violate the natural duty of his soul (atmadharma). While not violating the natural duty of his soul he cares for the life of earth-bodied beings... and so on up to... he also cares for the life of mobile beings, he also cares for the life of beings whose bodies he enjoys. That is why, Gautam ! It is said that and so on up to... terminates the cycles of rebirth.
