Eighth Vow. (Anarthadanda-viramana vrita.) The Sanskrit name of this vow consists of five words the first of which is a negative ; the second means profit, benefit, motive, aim, object, necessary reason, purpose, etc., the third word in the name means evils or bad effects, and the last two words mean undertaking to refrain from.
So this eighth vow is an undertaking not to incur unnecessary evils.
