________________
person, for the sake of his life; praise, prestige and worship; birth, death and liberation; and removal of sorrows (for these reasons), himself acts sinfully, causes others to act sinfully, or approves of others acting sinfully against plant-bodied beings. ___That (sinful act) is detrimental to him. That is the cause of his ignorance.
४५. से तं संबुज्झमाणे आयाणीयं समुट्ठाए। सोच्चा भगवओ अणगाराणं वा अंतिए इहमेगेसिं णायं भवइ-एस खलु गंथे, एस खलु मोहे, एस खलु मारे, एस खलु णरए।
इच्चत्थं गढिए लोए, जमिणं विरूवरूवेहिं सत्थेहिं वणस्सइ-कम्म-समारंभेणं वणस्सइ-सत्थं-समारंभमाणे अण्णे अणेगरूवे पाणे विहिंसति।
४५. वह साधक (हिंसा के कटु परिणामों को) समझता हुआ संयम की साधना में सावधान हो जाए। भगवान से या त्यागी अनगारों के समीप सुनकर कुछ मनुष्यों को इस बात का ज्ञान हो जाता है-“यह (हिंसा) ग्रन्थि है, यह मोह है, यह मृत्यु है, यह नरक है।''
फिर भी सुख-भोग में आसक्त मनुष्य, वनस्पतिकाय की हिंसा करता हुआ वह नाना प्रकार के शस्त्रों से वनस्पतिकाय का समारंभ करता है और वनस्पतिकाय का समारंभ करता हुआ अन्य अनेक प्रकार के जीवों की भी हिंसा करता है। ___45. Properly understanding (the bad consequences of violence), he (a disciplined seeker) indulges in adaniya (practicing ascetic-discipline). By listening to (the sermon of) Bhagavan or anagars (ascetics) it becomes known (to some humans) that "this (violence towards plant-bodied beings) is a granthi (a knot or the cause of karmic bondage); this is fondness (illusion); this is (the cause of) death; and this is (the passage to) hell as well.” ___A person who (in spite of this) has cravings (for pleasures and comforts), employing various types of shastras (weapons) in plant related violent activities, causes harm to plant-bodied beings. (Such person) destroys not only plant-bodied beings but also many other types of beings.
