**The Beginning of the Prajñapanasutra**
The five initial actions are defined as follows:
* **Ārambhikī:** The suppression of earth, water, fire, etc., with intention and consciousness is called Ārambhikī.
* **Before Ārambhikī, there are two stages:**
* **Samarabh:** This refers to the intention (sankalpa).
* **Samārabh:** This refers to the action of suffering (paritāpa).
* **The action that has Ārambhikī as its purpose or cause is called Ārambhikī.**
* **Pārigrahikī:** Accepting objects and clinging to them, except for the objects of Dharma and the objects of the world (parigrahikī-dharmopakarana).
* **Pārigrahikī:** This is the result of Pārigraha.
* **Māyāpratyayā:** Deception, deceit, and lack of honesty.
* **Māyāpratyayā:** This is the action whose cause is Māyā.
* **Apratyaakhyāna:** This refers to the renunciation of the bonds of attachment, such as violence, rules, etc.
* **Apratyaakhyāna:** This is the absence of the results of renunciation or abandonment.
* **Apratyaakhyāna-kriyā:** This is the action that arises from Apatyaakhyāna.
* **Mithyādarśanapratyayā:** This is the action whose cause is wrong belief (mithyādarśana) or contrary faith (viparīta śraddhā).
**Who is the owner or possessor of each of these actions?** This is explained in sūtras 1622 to 1626.
* **Ārambhikī:** This action occurs in those who are careless (pramatta-samyata) when they suppress earth, etc., due to carelessness and misuse of the body (kāya-duṣprayoga).
* **Pārigrahikī:** This action occurs in those who are detached from the world (deśa-virata) because they hold onto possessions (parigraha).
* **Apratyaakhyānī:** This action does not occur in everyone, but only in those who do not renounce anything.
* **Mithyādarśanapratyayā:** This action occurs in those who are disrespectful, unfaithful, and disobedient towards gods, gurus, dharma, and scriptures.
**The Classification of Actions in the Twenty-Four Danda**
**1627. [1] Raīyāṇam bhanta! Kati kiriyāpro paṇṇattāyo? Goyamā! Pañca kiriyāpro paṇṇattāo. Tam jahā-ārambhiyā jāv micchādasaṇavattiyā. [1627-1 pra.] Bhagavan! How many actions are said to be for the Nairyika? (U.] Gautama! (Their) five actions are said to be. They are as follows-Ārambhikī up to Mithyādarśanapratyayā. [2] Evam jāv bemāṇiāṇam / [1627-2] In the same way (as the Nairyika) up to the Vaimānika (one should understand five actions in each /).**
**Discussion:** This sūtra (1627) presents the classification of the five actions, Ārambhikī, etc., in the twenty-four Danda-bound beings.
**1628. Jassa gam bhanta! Jīvassa ārambhiyā kiriyā kajjati tassa pārigghiyā kiriyā kajjati? Jassa pārigghiyā kiriyā kajjai tassa ārambhiyā kiriyā kajjati?**
**Discussion:** This sūtra discusses the co-existence of actions in beings.
