## 248] [ Prajñāpanasūtra, Initial Actions and their Characteristics - Initial (Prārabhikī) - Violence-Causing Tendency (Vyāpāra) is called the Beginning / The action that binds karma from the beginning is Prārabhikī. The acceptance of things other than Dharma-Upakaraṇas due to attachment or fainting towards Dharma-Upakaraṇas is Parigraha, the action caused by it is Pārigṛhikī. The action caused by Māyā, due to anger etc. by implication, is Māyāpratyayā / The action of non-rejection, due to non-cessation from non-rejection sins, is Apratyākhyāna / The action caused by false vision, due to falsehood, is Mithyādarśanapratyayā / Doubt-resolution also is falsehood. Avirati, Kaṣāya and Yoga are the four causes of karma-binding, while here Prārabhikī etc. actions are stated as the cause of karma-binding, hence there is contradiction, one should not doubt this, because here the word Prārabha and Parigraha are used to include 'Yoga', because Yoga is in the form of Prārabha-Parigraha, hence there is no contradiction in this. ] Asura-kumāra etc. Bhavanapatis, seven types of Samahāra etc. 1131. Asura-kumāra, Bhante! Are all Samahāra the same? It is indeed asked / Gotama! This meaning is not valid, as in the case of Jera (Su. 1124) / [1131 Pr.] Bhagavan! Are all Asura-kumāra the same in terms of food? etc. question (as before). [1131 U.] This meaning is not valid / (rest of the description) (according to Su. 1124) like the Nairāyikas (their food etc. description). 1132. Asura-kumāra, Bhante! Are all Asura-kumāra the same in terms of karma? Gotama! This meaning is not valid. [Pr.] Bhagavan! Why do you say that all Asura-kumāra are not the same in terms of karma? [U.] Gotama! Asura-kumāra are said to be of two types. They are as follows - Pūrvopapannka and Paścādupapannka / Among them, those who are Pūrvopapannka are those who have great karma. Among them, those who are Paścādupapannka are those who have less karma. For this reason, Gotama! It is said that all Asura-kumāra are not the same in terms of karma. 1. Prajñāpanasūtra, Malay.
