[118]
(I do not commit, nor cause to be committed, any act of *Anarthadanda* through the mind, speech, or body, in two ways, in three ways, whether it be through the agency of the necessary, or through the agency of gods, or through the agency of serpents, or through the agency of Yakshas, or through the agency of Bhutas, or through the agency of these very things.) I hold these as exceptions: (If I have to resort to *Anarthadanda* for self-defense, or by the order of the king, or for the sake of my caste, or for the sake of my family, or for the sake of my relatives, or if I am compelled by gods, Yakshas, or Bhutas, then I hold these as exceptions.) Except for these exceptions, I will not commit, nor cause to be committed, any act of *Anarthadanda* through the mind, speech, or body, for the rest of my life. If I have told stories that arouse lust, or have made others laugh like a clown, or have imitated others, or have engaged in meaningless chatter, or have collected weapons of violence like swords, pestles, and mortars without purpose, or have preached the initiation of violence like building houses, or have accumulated food, clothing, and other things beyond my own needs and those of my family, then I criticize myself for these actions and I wish that all my sins may be nullified. 9. Transgressions of the *Samayika* Vow
The ninth *Samayika* vow: I will observe the *Samayika* vow according to the rules I have established, for as long as I have vowed. I will not commit, nor cause to be committed, any act of *Anarthadanda* through the mind, speech, or body. This is the form of the vow. When the occasion for *Samayika* arises, I will perform it, and then I will purify myself by repentance. These are the five things that should be known and avoided in the ninth *Samayika* vow: (1) Injury to the mind, (2) Injury to speech, (3) Injury to the body, (4) Not performing the *Samayika* vow, (5) Performing the *Samayika* vow without proper understanding. These are the things that are wrong and harmful.
Meaning: I will observe the *Samayika* vow according to the rules I have established, for as long as I have vowed, by abandoning the evil tendencies of the mind, speech, and body. By not allowing evil thoughts to arise in the mind, by not speaking harsh or sinful words, and by restraining the actions of the body, peace and tranquility will arise in the soul.
