The objects are not open for all. Or the repetition of the term 'pramattayogat' occurs, from which the meaning is that taking an object without being given is Steya (theft). Those who enter the lanes and alleys, do not have it, therefore, the Bhikkhu (monk) who does such an act does not incur the fault of Steya.
The partial renunciation of Steya is Pracharyanuvrta.
"Tittivakadhule ya-1 - Titiksha rathale chauryasthale pariharah." [Charitrapahuda Ga. 23 Tika] The renunciation of theft in a gross form is the Vrta (vow) here.
Query - What is called Abrahma?
-
Answer - "Maithuna-abrahma" || 16 || When the rise of Charitra-mohaniya (deluding karma) occurs, the desire of touch between the woman and man who are associated with the passion-induced state is called Maithuna, and its activity is Maithuna. The repetition of the term 'pramattayogat' occurs. Therefore, the endeavor of the woman and man for the sake of the pleasure arising from passion, that is accepted as Maithuna. The qualities like Ahimsa (non-violence) etc., whose observance leads to growth, that is Brahma, and that which is devoid of it is Abrahma. In Maithuna, the defects like Himsa (violence) etc. get strengthened, because the one who is skilled in the indulgence of Maithuna, commits violence to all the living beings.
"Maithunachara ne mudha! Triyante jantukotayah.
Yonirandra-utpanna lingasanghatapidita." || 21 || [Jnanaarnava Maithuna Adhikara 13]
- O fool! By indulging in Maithuna with women, the countless millions of living beings born in the orifice of the womb are tormented and killed by the impact of the male organ.
"Ghae ghae prasankhejja" - In each and every impact of the male organ, countless millions of living beings die.
"Hisyante tilanatayana taptayati vinihite tila yadvat.
Bahavo jiva yonau hinsyante maithune tadvat." || 108 || [Purusharthasiddhyupaya]
- Just as the sesame seeds are destroyed when the hot iron rod is inserted into the sesame pod, similarly, in the act of Maithuna, many living beings are killed in the womb.
"Pariharoh para pimme pariharah kriyate parapremnipara dare." [Charitrapahuda Ga. 23 Tika]
The renunciation of other women, i.e., the renunciation of all women except one's own wife, is Brahmacharyanuvrata.
