EXPLANATORY NOTE
From the empirical-point-of-view (vyavahāranaya), the control-ofbodily-activity (kāyagupti) is abstaining from bodily-activities like binding, piercing, beating or killing others, and contraction and expansion of the body.
Abstaining from bodily-activities that cause bondage of karmas is called the control-of-bodily-activity (kāyagupti). Activities like killing, stealing, copulation, and accumulating possessions, certainly constitute bodily-activities that must be shun in order to attain the kāyagupti. 1
