lying and scolding monks or giving them food reluctantly; a long happy life is effected by doing the reverse.
taha-rūva samaņa vā māhana vā: see I 74 comm. 2 (228) Actions (kiriyā) are [1] purposive (ārambhiyā k.), [2] appropriative (pariggahiyā k.), [3] emotional (māyā-vattiyā k.), [4] implying non-renunciation (apaccakkhāna-k.) or [5] implying heresy (micchādamsana-k.). Casuistic application of this theory to special cases of selling and buying: When a salesman (a) tries to get back something that has been stolen from him, or (b) withholds the thing (bhande ya se anuvaņīe siyā) a person wants to buy, or (c) gets the counter-value (dhane se uvanie siyā) of the thing he sells, he commits the first four actions (hetthilão [: adhastana] cattāri kiriyão) and under circumstances (viz when he is a heretic, Abhay.] also the fifth action; in cases (b) and (c), on the other hand, these actions diminish' (cease, do not exist ? payanuībhavanti) for the buyer. Moreover, if that salesman (a) has got back the stolen thing, or (b) does not withhold the thing a person wants to buy, or (c) does not get the counter-value of the thing he sells, these actions diminish' for the salesman, while in cases (b) and (c) the buyer commits them.
Cf. VIII 5' and Lehre par. 100. 3 (228b) A newly-lit fire-body has much karman (mahākammatarāya), is very active (mahākiriyatarāya), possesses a great karmic influx (mahásavatarāya) and much sensation (mahāvedanatarāya); a dying fire-body and an unlit one have little karman (appak.) etc.
b) Casuistic application of the theory of the five kinds of actions (explained in I 82 and III 31) to special cases of shooting an arrow: If a man who takes a bow (etc. up to) and shoots an arrow hits a living being, he is involved (puttha) in the five actions and so are the bodies of which his bow and arrow are made, viz the wood of the bow (dhaņu-puttha), the bow-string (jīvā), its tendon (nhāru), the arrow (usu), viz its shaft (sara), feather (pattana), barb (phala) and string (nhāru). If, however, the arrow hits the living being while falling back down, the man and the bow are involved only in the first four actions,
