If a living being has been completely rendered lifeless by being cooked, boiled, or roasted in fire, etc., then it is considered **भावपक्व-शस्त्र-परिणत** (fully ripened by the weapon) and acceptable. Conversely, if there is a possibility of it still being sentient even after being cut, pierced, or cooked in fire, etc., then it is considered **भाव से अपक्व-शस्त्र-अपरिणत** (not fully ripened by the weapon) and unacceptable. For detailed discussion and the fourfold analysis, one should refer to the **भाष्य** (commentary) and **वृत्ति** (explanation).
