FIFTH VRATA.
Sthula-parigraha-parimāna vrata.
Sthula means
gross, parigraha means acquiring as one's own; that is possession. Parimana means limitation. Therefore the vow means a choice to put a limit to the things you possess or will possess and in an ordinary way.
It is the limitation of the desire of possessing, and hence of actual possessing. A person may possess without desiring to possess.
To limit the desire is to partially control the. desire; if the desire is uncontrolled it is limitless
