[Twenty-second verb] [511 [1636] Similarly, the cessation from *mṛṣāvāda* (false speech) to *māyābhūṣā* (delusion, a *pāpa-sthāna*) is for ordinary beings and humans, but not for the rest (from *nairāyika* to *vaimānika* gods). Specifically, the cessation from *adattādāna* (non-giving) is in the case of objects that can be received and held, the cessation from *maithuna* (sexual intercourse) is in the case of forms or objects associated with forms (such as women), and the cessation from the remaining *pāpa-sthāna* is in the case of all objects. 1640. [Q] Venerable one, does the cessation from the *mithyādarśana-śalya* (false perception) occur for beings? [A] Yes, it does. [Q] Venerable one, in what (object) does the cessation from the *mithyādarśana-śalya* occur for beings? [A] Gautama, it occurs in the case of all objects. / 1640. [Q] Venerable one, does the cessation from the *mithyādarśana-śalya* (false perception) occur for beings? [A] Yes, it does. [Q] Venerable one, in what (object) does the cessation from the *mithyādarśana-śalya* occur for beings? [A] Gautama, it occurs in the case of all objects. / 1641. Similarly (as in the statement about the cessation from the *mithyādarśana-śalya* for beings), one should state that the cessation from the *mithyādarśana-śalya* occurs for *nairāyika* to *vaimānika* beings. / Specifically, it does not occur for beings with one sense or with impaired senses. Discussion: The discussion of cessation from the eighteen *pāpa-sthāna* is presented in the context of actions in the *pañcamūtrī* (from 1637 to 1641), and the discussion of the cessation from the eighteen *pāpa-sthāna* such as *prāṇātipāta* (violence) for ordinary beings and the twenty-four *daṇḍakavartī* beings, as well as their objects, has been made. / Conclusion: Except for humans, no other being can cease from the seventeen *pāpa-sthāna* such as *prāṇātipāta* due to their nature. The cessation mentioned for beings is mentioned in relation to humans. / And the cessation from *mithyādarśana* cannot occur for beings with one sense or with impaired senses, although some beings with two senses or more may have *sāsvādana-samyaktva* (right perception of taste) due to the inadequacy of their sense organs, but this is only for those with two senses or more who are inclined towards falsehood. / Therefore, the cessation from falsehood is not possible for them. / It is possible for all other beings. In addition, the cessation from *prāṇātipāta* occurs in the case of the six *jīvanikāya* (types of beings), the cessation from *adattādāna* occurs in the case of objects that can be received and held, and the cessation from *maithuna* occurs in the case of forms or objects associated with forms. / The cessation from the remaining *pāpa-sthāna* occurs in the case of all objects. / The formation of the *karma-prakrti-bandha* (bondage of the nature of karma) for beings who have ceased from the *pāpa-sthāna* 1642. [Q] Venerable one, how many *karma-pagaḍī* (bundles of karma) bind a being who has ceased from *prāṇātipāta*? [A] Gautama, it binds with seven bundles, or eight bundles, or six bundles, or one bundle, or with no bundles. This should also be said for humans. / 1.
