Bhagavai 7:2:28 padihaya-paccakkhāya-pävakamme, akirie, samvude, egamtapamdie yāvi bhavati. se tenatthenam goyamā! evam vuccai--savvapāņehim jāva savvasattehim paccakkhāyamiti vadamānassa siya supaccakkhāyam bhavati, siya dupaccakkhāyam bhavati. For what reason, O Lord! has it been said that when the person claims that he has renounced killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, sometimes his pratyākhyāna (renunciation) is supratyākhyāna (virtuous renunciation), sometimes it is duspratyākhyāna (vicious renunciation)? Gautama! when a person claims that he has renounced killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, but if he does not comprehend these are souls, these are non-souls, these are mobile beings, these are immobile beings, then his pratyākhyāna (renunciation) of killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings is not supratyākhyāna, it is a duspratyākhyāna, Thus, when such a person who is making duspratyākhyāna claims that he has renounced killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, he does not speak the truth, he speaks the untruth. Thus such lier is not a restrainer, abstainer, one who has forsworn the past sinful activities and one who has renounced the future sinful activities, through three types of acts (viz., do oneself, make others do and approve of others' action) and three types of instruments (viz., mind, speech and body) towards all living beings ..... up to all animate beings. He incurs kriyās such as kāyiki and the like (the urges due to physical activity etc.); he has not inhibited himself from evil acts; he is ekāntadanda (unmitigated perpetrator of violence) and ekāntabāla (unmitigated non-abstinent). On the other hand, if the person who claims that he has renounced killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, comprehends that these are souls, these are non-souls, these are mobile beings, these are immobile beings; then his pratyākhyāna (renunciation) of killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings is a supratyākhyāna (virtuous renunciation), not a duspratyākhyāna (vicious renunciation). Thus, when such a person who is making supratyākhyāna claims that he has renounced the killing of all living beings ...... up to all animate beings, he speaks what is true, he does not speak what is untrue. Thus, such a speaker of truth is a restrainer, abstainer, one who has forsworn the past sinful activities and one who has renounced the future sinful activities, through three types of acts (viz., do oneself, make others do and approve of others' action) and three types of instruments (viz., mind, speech and body) towards all living beings ...... up to all animate beings. He does not incur kriyas such as kāyikī and the like; he has inhibited himself from evil acts; he is ekāntapandita (a mahāvrati (observer of the five great vows) who is unmitigated abstainer from all evil activities). For this reason, O Gautama! has it been said that a person who claims that
