38 / MANAV DHARMA Explanation :
Those who excel in the Jain religion have described the wishing of motives of love or hatred, of destruction, imprisonment, injury etc. to another life and the like as Apadhyana Anarthadand-vrata.
Description :
Due to some envy and jealousy hatred or pleasure, to kill any creature or to pierce nose or ears, to put some one in prison, wishing and thinking of doing such acts come under the category of Apdhyana Anarthadand vrata
To make it more clear, let us have this example A fisherman is throwing his net in the tank to catch the fish or hunter is spreading his net to catch the birds and parrots and we become tempted to see their tacties as to how do they perform their activities of catching fish or hunting birds ? How does a hunter catch or kill the deer? to have a feeling of seeing their methods of working, we become a co-associater in their actions and we may become a means of encouraging them in their actions and all this feeling and association will come under the category of Apdhyana Anarthadandavrata.
