Bhagavai 7:1:20-21
~: 507 :
The Topic of Airyāpathiki Kriyā and Samparāyiki Kriya (the Activities that are free from passions (instantaneous) and those that are informed with passion (long-term))
Does' an ascetic, O Lord!' who inattentively walks or stands or sits, or changes sides while lying down, who inattentively picks up clothing, bowl, blanket and duster, indulge in airyāpathikī kriyā (instantaneous activity that is free from passions) or samparāyika kriya (long term activity that is informed with passion)?
Gautama! he does not indulge in airyäpathiki kriyä, but be indulges in sämparäyika kriya.
7.21 se keṇattheṇam?
goyamā! jassa nam koha-māṇa-māyā-lobhā vocchiṛṇā bhavamti tassa ṇam riyavahiya kiriyā kajjai, jassa ṇam koha-māṇa-māyā-lobhā avocchinna bhavamti tassa nam samparāiyā kiriyā kajjai. ahāsuttam rīyamāṇassa riyāvahiyā kiriyā kajjai, ussuttam rīyamāṇassa samparāiyā kiriyā kajjai, se nam ussuttameva riyati. se teṇattheṇam.
For what reason?
Gautama! airyāpathikī kriyā is possible only for the soul whose anger, pride, deceit and greed have been made inoperative. Only sämparāyiki kriyā is possible for the soul who has not made inoperative anger, pride, deceit and greed. The soul whose activities are strictly in accordance with the canon engages in airyapathiki kriyä, whereas the soul that indulges in activities that are incompatible with the canon is the doer of sämparäyiki kriya. The latter indeed behaves non-conformably with the canon. It is for this reason that his activities are sämparäyiki kriyä.

1. Sütras 20,21
In the present canonical text (i.e., Bhagaval), the airyāpathiki and sämparayikat kriyās (instantaneous and long-term activities) have been discussed from a number of view-points.' There are five items, concerned with the ascetics:
(1) There is instantaneous activity in the case of a atmna samvṛta (selfinhibited) ascetic-see 3.148.
(2) There is long-term activity in the case of an anayukta ascetic-indulging
in inattentive activity (such as going etc.)-see 7.20.
(3) There is instantaneous activity in the case of a samvṛta (inhibited) ascetic-see 7.125.
