अर्थात् समस्त तीर्थंकर भगवन्तों ने एक प्राणातिपातविरमणव्रत का ही कथन किया है। शेष (चार) व्रत उसी की रक्षा के लिए हैं।
अहिंसा को 'तस - थावर - सव्यभूयखेमकरी' कहकर उसकी असाधारण महिमा प्रकट की गई है। अहिंसा 5 प्राणीमात्र के लिए मंगलमयी है, सब जीवों का क्षेम कल्याण करने वाली है।

Elaboration-It has been mentioned earlier that the cause of bondage of eight types of Karma such as knowledge obscuring Karma and others is called Asrava. The antonym of Asrava is Samvar. Samvar closes the gateways of asrava (inflow of Karma). Samvar is also of five types (non violence, truth, to take what is given, chastity and non-attachment). The methods of attaining Samvar are three guptis, five samitis, ten duties of a monk and twelve deep thought activities about real nature of the world such as its non-permanence and others. So all this has been included in these five Samvars namely non-violence and others and their intrinsic sentiments.
An illustration is narrated in order to make one understand easily the meaning of Samvar. A boat is stationed in deep sea. Slowly and gradually the wood of the boat gets damaged as it remained in sea for a long period. So some holes appear in the boat and the water of the sea starts entering the boat. Due to the weight of that water, the boat can sink any time. The expert boatsman closed those holes when he saw them. So the fear of sinking withered away. Now boat will safely arrive at the bank.
Similarly the water of Karma particles is in the sea of mundane existence. In other words subtle Karmic molecules, infinite in number, are fully occupying the entire space in the world. They are so subtle that they are invisible. The soul in the form of boat is stationed in that sea. The water of Karma has entered the said boat through the holes of nonviolence and other Asravas. If this inflow of water of Karma is not stopped, that boat shall sink one day. In other words, the soul than shall go to the lower state of existence namely, hell. But the person, who is equipped with the knowledge of discrimination, is watchful about the causes of inflow of Karmas. He stops that inflow with practice of nonviolence. When the inflow of Karmic matter stops, the causes of bondage of Karma come to an end. So the new bondage of Karma stops. Then the boat in the form of soul crosses the sea of wanderings in mundane world safely.
