How do living beings (jivas) acquire the bondage of karmas determining a noble long life-span ?
[Ans.] Gautam ! They do so for three reasons-(1) by not harming or killing living beings, (2) by avoiding false speech and (3) by paying homage and obeisance, doing worship and giving likeable and pleasant food of four kinds, namely staple food, liquids, general food, and sayoury food (ashan, paan, khadya, svadya), to ascetics conforming to the description in Agams (tatharupa Shramans and Mahans). That is how (for three reasons) living beings (jivas) acquire the bondage of karmas determining a noble long life-span.
विवेचन-वृत्तिकार ने स्पष्ट किया है कि यहाँ मुख्य प्रसंग साधु को एषणीय-अनेषणीय आहार देने का है। अतः प्राणातिपात और मृषावाद का अर्थ सामान्य हिंसा व असत्य वचन नहीं होकर साधु को दान देने के लिए आहार आदि के निमित्त हिंसा करना और फिर असत्य बोलना कि “हमने आपके लिए कुछ नहीं किया।" इस प्रकार हिंसा और असत्य का सम्बन्ध भी अनेषणीय आहार से जुड़ा हुआ है। साधु को शुभभावपूर्वक, आदरविनय के साथ शुद्ध आहार देना शुभ दीर्घायु का तथा इसके विपरीत आहार देना अशुभ अल्पायुष्य का कारण समझना चाहिए। (वृत्ति पत्रांक २२७) विस्तार हेतु भगवती सूत्र हिन्दी विवेचन, भाग २, पृष्ठ ८४१-८४२ देखें)
Elaboration—The commentator (Vritti) clarifies that this discussion is mainly in context of offering prohibited or permitted food to ascetics. Therefore 'harming of beings' and 'false speech' do not just carry their normal meaning. They also imply harming of beings in order to procure or prepare food for ascetics and then giving a false statement that all that was not done for them. Thus violence and falsity are connected with prohibited food. Offering food to ascetics with noble feeling, respect and modesty is the cause of a noble long life-span and opposite of that is cause of an ignoble long life-span.
