## Chapter Three: Those who maintain the Digvratas, abstaining from external minor sins, adopt the Anuvratas.
**24.** They adopt the Anuvratas. Which ones? The culmination of the five great vows. Who? Those who maintain (the Digvratas). Which ones? The Digvratas. Why do they adopt this culmination? Because of their abstention from minor sins, their avoidance of subtle, minor sins. Where? Externally. From what? From the established boundaries of the vow. **24.** Thus, He also states the ultimate reason for their culmination:
**25.** They are characterized by the subtle nature of their rejection, their slowness, and their transformation into delusion of conduct. They are difficult to perceive due to their subtle nature and are considered for the great vow. 'Transformation into delusion of conduct' refers to the transformation into delusion of conduct in the form of emotions. 'Considered' means they are practiced. Why? For the sake of the great vow. What kind are they? 'Subtle nature' and 'difficult to perceive' means that even though they exist, they are difficult to perceive due to their subtle nature. Why are they difficult to perceive? They are 'slow' due to their extreme lack of urgency. Why are they slow? Because of the 'subtle nature of their rejection'. 'Rejection' refers to the coverings of rejection. They are understood as material anger, pride, deceit, and greed. These words are used in a limited sense, as they also exist in the form of names, like 'Bhima' etc. Rejection is the restraint characterized by the avoidance of violence, etc., through the avoidance of violence, etc. Those who cover this restraint are the coverings of rejection, material anger, etc. When they arise, the soul is unable to perform the restraint of violence, etc. Therefore, due to the subtle nature of material forms, etc., and the slow arising of anger, etc., the slowness of their emotional forms is established.
**26.** Now, why are they considered for the great vow? Because they become the very form of the great vow. He says:
The abandonment of the later sins, such as violence, etc., through mind, speech, and body, through action, causation, and approval, is the great vow of the great ones.
