**Somasen Bhattaraka's Composition:**
**Food to be Abandoned:**
Upon seeing the corpses of dead creatures, nails, dung, ash, or food contaminated with them; upon being troubled by cats, etc.; upon hearing the abuse of creatures; upon hearing the barking of dogs; upon hearing the sound of fighting; upon hearing the sound of a pig; upon hearing the sound of someone crying due to pain; upon hearing the news of a fire in the village; upon hearing words like "So-and-so's head was cut off"; upon hearing the sound of creatures dying in battle, etc.; upon eating abandoned food; upon being overcome with sadness due to past suffering; upon fearing an urge to defecate; upon sneezing; upon vomiting; upon urinating; upon witnessing someone being killed; upon seeing or touching wet leather, bones, flesh, blood, pus, wine, or honey; upon seeing or touching burnt bones, hair, or leather; upon seeing or touching a menstruating or pregnant woman; upon seeing or touching a person with false beliefs or wearing dirty clothes; upon being touched by a cat, rat, dog, cow, horse, etc., or a young child; and upon finding live creatures in food that cannot be separated, or upon dead ants, etc., falling into food - one should abandon that food. Similarly, if one imagines that the food is flesh, dung, or blood, one should abandon it. || 186-193 ||
**194**
**Food to be Abandoned:**
One should abandon the consumption of alcohol, meat, honey, and the five Udumbara fruits. Abandoning these eight is called the eight fundamental virtues of the Shravakas. By abandoning them, one attains freedom from gross killing, i.e., gross violence. || 194 ||
**195**
A Shravaka who eats the green fruits of the Pipal, Udumbara (Gular), Plaksha, Vat, and Pilu trees commits violence against both subtle and gross living beings. And one who eats the dried fruits of these trees, in which the living beings have perished due to prolonged exposure, also commits violence due to their attachment.
**Meaning:**
Violence is of two types: one is material violence, and the other is mental violence. Killing external beings, whether one's own or others, is material violence; and destroying mental beings is mental violence. The arising of one's own passions like attachment and aversion, or causing anger, etc., in others, is also mental violence. Eating these fruits leads to both types of violence. It causes the death of the living beings residing in them, hence material violence. And the eater has intense attachment, hence mental violence. The nature of the soul is pure and crystal-clear, devoid of passions like attachment and aversion.
