## Five Great Vows (Pancha-achara) 5:

**212.** Know these as air-bodied beings (Vayu-jiva) and avoid harming them.

**Meaning:** Ordinary wind, wind that rises high, wind with much dust and noise, wind that circles and touches the earth, wind that moves with a humming sound, great wind, ocean wind, dense wind, thin wind - these are all air-bodied beings. Knowing them, one should abandon violence towards them.

**213.** Further, plant-bodied beings (Vanaspati-jiva) are described as: root-tipped, stem-tipped, node-tipped, tuberous, shoulder-seed, seed-seed, and those with many bodies.

**Meaning:** There are two types of plants - each with a single body and those with many bodies. A single body plant has one being within it, while a plant with many bodies has infinite beings within it. The latter is also called "Nigoda" and "Ananta-kaya". Root-seed (like turmeric), stem-seed (like jasmine), node-seed (like sugarcane), tuber-seed (like potato), shoulder-seed (like sallaki), seed-seed (like wheat), and those with many bodies (like betel nut and coconut) - all these are of two types: single-bodied and infinite-bodied.

**214.** Further, the nature of plants with many bodies is described as: tuber, root, bark, shoulder, leaf, bud, flower, fruit, cluster, bunch, vine, stem, and body.
