**The Five Excesses in Parigraha-Parimana:**
1. **Ati-vahana:** Driving humans or animals beyond their capacity due to greed.
2. **Ati-sanpraha:** Accumulating excessive amounts of grains, believing they will yield more profit, driven by greed.
3. **Vismaya:** Feeling envious when someone else profits more by selling a commodity that was sold at a lower price or was not collected by oneself.
4. **Lobha:** Desiring more profit even when a reasonable profit is already achieved.
5. **Ati-bhararopan:** Loading more weight than one's capacity due to greed.
These five excesses are violations of the Parigraha-Parimana principle. Those who practice Parigraha-Parimana should abstain from these. || 84 ||
**The Six Anuvratas:**
1. **Vada-viraati:** Abstaining from violence.
2. **Asatyaviraati:** Abstaining from falsehood.
3. **Chauryaviraati:** Abstaining from stealing.
4. **Abrahmaviraati:** Abstaining from sexual misconduct.
5. **Parigrahaviraati:** Abstaining from excessive possessions.
6. **Ratribhukti:** Abstaining from eating at night.
These six are the Anuvratas. || 85 ||
**Explanation:**
The root of all violence is attachment (raga) and other negative emotions. Since all sins stem from these emotions, all vows ultimately fall under the vow of non-violence. However, simply stating the vow of non-violence may not be clear to those with limited understanding. Therefore, separate vows like abstaining from falsehood, stealing, etc., are explained to make it easier to comprehend.
Similarly, some might think that abstaining from eating at night is not a part of the Anuvratas, and therefore eating at night is not a sin. Hence, the Anuvrata of abstaining from eating at night is explicitly mentioned.
It is also incorrect to say that abstaining from eating at night is not related to violence. We have already established that attachment is violence, and eating at night increases attachment. Therefore, violence is present wherever there is attachment. Additionally, harming external beings is more prevalent at night. Hence, external violence is also more prevalent. Therefore, abstaining from eating at night falls under the category of violence, considering both internal and external violence.
Eating at night, lying, stealing, sexual misconduct, and excessive possessions are all destructive to the soul and therefore constitute violence. These are explained separately for the sake of clarity. Therefore, the argument that abstaining from eating at night is not related to violence is completely unfounded.
Just as different aspects like lying, stealing, etc., are explained separately to clarify the nature of violence, some Acharyas explain abstaining from eating at night separately from violence to dispel any confusion among disciples.
**The Virtue of Abstaining from Eating at Night:**
One who abstains from eating for two hours after sunrise and two hours before sunset, understanding the great sin of eating at night, is considered to be consuming virtuous food. || 86 ||
