Do not donate these things. Weapons of violence, roots, tubers, meat, liquor, honey. Food that is contaminated, tasty food that is spoiled, subtle food, food eaten at night. False scriptures, medical science, astrology, drama, and scriptures that teach violence. Aphrodisiacs, scriptures that teach mantras of violence, and scriptures that indicate a great war. Do not give these to those of low intellect, who promote violence. || 138 || 139 || 140 ||
. Unworthy. . To the intoxicated, the wicked, the one who mocks Jainism, the one who is involved in the sin of violence, the one who consumes liquor and meat. || 141 || To the one who speaks falsehoods, the one who insults the Gods and Gurus. Do not give anything to them, it will only increase their sins. || 142 || The one who is intoxicated, wicked, mocks Jainism, is involved in the sin of violence, consumes liquor and meat, speaks falsehoods, and insults the Gods and Gurus, should not be given anything. Giving them anything will only increase their sins. This 142nd verse states that one should not give anything to those who insult the Gods and Gurus. This is very logical because those who insult the Gods and Gurus will definitely spread wrong conduct, which will only increase sin. There are many current examples of this. Many people have started to insult Jainism and Jain Acharyas. Those who have started doing this openly support widow remarriage, breaking the caste system, eating with everyone on the same plate, etc. The Jain community is taking on the burden of the great sin of giving donations to such people. This is very surprising. || 141 || 142 ||
