## The Ratnakaranda Shravaka-chara:

**The transgressions of the Shravaka-chara are those that are committed by those who are free from the punishment of wrongdoing.** Why? Because those who are free from the punishment of wrongdoing are those who do not commit the sin of giving bad advice, etc. How many are there? Five. How so? It is said:

* **Kandarpa:** A playful use of words, mixed with laughter, with a focus on jesting, arising from desire.
* **Prahasa:** Laughter, jesting, and playful actions.
* **Bhandi:** A playful use of words, accompanied by playful bodily actions.
* **Maukhya:** Boldness, excessive talkativeness.
* **Asamikshya-adhikaranam:** The fifth is the undertaking of an action without considering its consequences. This means undertaking an action without considering its purpose, without careful deliberation, and without considering the consequences of the action.

**Now, to explain the nature of enjoyment and the measure of enjoyment, it is said:**

**The measure of enjoyment and the measure of the enjoyment of enjoyment is the enumeration of the objects of the senses.** Even for those who are worthy, this enumeration is for the sake of reducing the intensity of their desires and attachments.

**What is the measure of enjoyment and the enjoyment of enjoyment?** It is the enumeration of the objects of the senses. **Of whom?** Of those who are worthy, who are capable of achieving their desired goals, or of those who are worthy and are bound by their attachments. **Why is this enumeration done?** It is done to reduce the intensity of their desires and attachments. **Of whom?** Of those who are attached to the objects of their senses, who are passionate about them, and who are consumed by their desires. **When?** When there is a limit to the amount of the objects of the senses.

**Now, one might wonder, what is enjoyment and what is the enjoyment of enjoyment, and what is the measure of this enjoyment?** It is said:

**Enjoyment is that which is to be enjoyed and then abandoned. The enjoyment of enjoyment is that which is to be enjoyed again and again. The enjoyment of enjoyment is the objects of the five senses, such as food, clothing, etc.**

**There are five types of enjoyment:**

1. **Trasa-ghata:** Enjoyment that causes fear and harm.
2. **Pramada:** Enjoyment that leads to carelessness.
3. **Bahuvadhana:** Enjoyment that leads to excessive attachment.
4. **Nishta:** Enjoyment that leads to attachment to the object of enjoyment.
5. **Anupasavya:** Enjoyment that is not conducive to spiritual progress.

**Honey and meat should always be avoided, as they lead to fear and harm.** **Wine should be avoided, as it leads to confusion about what is right and wrong, and therefore should be avoided to prevent carelessness.**
