## Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra - Here the word 'tu' is used in the sense of 'concept'. Therefore, it means that the three causes of karma-bandha mentioned earlier are the cause of karma-bandha in a separate and combined form. When there is a connection with evil-defective, malicious determination-effort, undertaking, then by these causes, the bondage of sinful karma takes place. Where the three conditions of killing, causing, and approving are not present, where there is no tendency motivated by attachment, aversion, etc., even if violence occurs only with the mind or with the body, or with the mind and body devoid of internal evil intentions, then due to the purity of emotions, the karma-jiva becomes free from all kinds of dualities - obstacles and troubles - and attains liberation.
**Verse 28:**
A father, driven by a terrible calamity, may kill his son and eat his flesh to save his own life, but even doing so, he does not become bound by karma. Similarly, a wise sage, free from attachment and aversion, even if he eats meat, does not become bound by karma.
**Commentary:**
The text explains that karma-bandha does not occur for one who acts with pure intentions. It gives an example: A householder father, driven by a terrible calamity, may kill his son and eat his flesh to save his own life. Even though he is driven by attachment and aversion, he does not become bound by karma. Similarly, a wise sage, free from attachment and aversion, even if he eats meat, does not become bound by karma. The word 'cha' here is used in the sense of 'api'. The essence is that whether a householder or a monk, whoever has pure intentions, does not become bound by karma even if he eats meat.
**Verse 29:**
Those who are pure in mind, their minds do not waver. They are free from impurities, and they are not bound by karma.
