## Chapter Three

**67.** The objects of the five senses are 'Panchendriyaṇāmāya'. 'BhuKtva' (having enjoyed) should be abandoned, that enjoyment is like food, flowers, fragrance, and ointments. 'Upbhoga' (enjoyment) is that which is to be enjoyed again after having been enjoyed before, like clothes, ornaments, etc. Clothing is a garment. || 37 ||

He says that enjoyment in the form of liquor, etc., is also to be abandoned by those who observe the minor vows, because it is the cause of the killing of living beings.

**38.** Honey, flesh, and liquor are to be abandoned for the sake of avoiding the killing of living beings. Liquor is to be abandoned by those who have taken refuge in the feet of the Jinas. What is to be abandoned? 'Kshaudra' is honey. Similarly, 'Pishita' is flesh. For what purpose? 'Trasahatipariharaṇārtha' - for the sake of avoiding the killing of living beings, the killing of those who have two senses, etc. Similarly, 'Madya cha' (liquor) is to be abandoned. For what purpose? 'Pramada pariharaṇaye' - for the sake of avoiding delusion, the absence of discrimination between mother and wife. By whom is this to be abandoned? 'Sharaṇam upayātaiḥ' - by those who have taken refuge. Who? 'Jina charanau' - by the Shravakas, meaning that it is to be abandoned by them. || 38 ||

He says that this too is to be abandoned by them:

**39.** 'Avahēya' (to be abandoned) are radishes, ginger, and turmeric, which are of little fruit and cause much harm to many living beings. 'Avahēya' is to be abandoned. What is it? 'Mūlaka' is radish. Similarly, 'Shṛngavērāṇi' are ginger. What kind? 'Ārdrāṇi' - uncooked. Similarly, 'Navanīta nimbakusuma' is an example of all kinds of flowers. 'Kaitaka' is a kind of flower, 'Gudharā' is another, and so on. All these are to be abandoned. Why? 'Alpāphala bahuvidhātā' - because they have little fruit and cause much harm to many living beings. They have little fruit and cause much harm, therefore they are to be abandoned. || 39 ||

- He says that even if it is like this, it is to be abandoned: ... 1 Flowers like Ketki and Arjuna, which are the abode of many living beings, and ginger, radish, turmeric, neem flowers, etc., which are called 'anantakāya' (having infinite bodies), are to be avoided because they cause much harm and have little fruit. It is better to avoid them.
