and lifeless matter or between mobile (tasa) and immobile (thāvara) living beings practises a false renunciation (is dupaccakkhāya). He is a liar, is active (sakiriya), lacks self-discipline, offends the commandments (a vir a y a), does not repel and renounce bad karman (apaļihay'apaccakkhāya-pävakamma), is not closed [against the karmic influx] (asamvuda) and is wholly harmful and stupid (eganta-danda, e.-bāla). Description of the opposite.
2 (295b) The ramification of renunciation: A) Renunciation in the domain of the five fundamental gunas is either a) total (savvamüla-guna-paccakkhāna) or b) partial (desa-m.-g.-P.), which means that one abstains either from all or only from grave 1) offences against living beings, 2) untruthfulness, etc. [Cf. the five mahāvayas and the five aņuvvayas resp., Lehre par. 170-171.]
-B) Renunciation in the domain of the additional gunas is either a) total (savv’uttara-guna-paccakkhāna) in which case it has ten forms (see comm.; 1-8 form a gāhā] or b) partial (des’u.-8.-.) in which case it has seven forms, viz 1) limitation of the area of one's undertakings etc. [Cf. the three gunavvayas and the four sikkhāvayas, Lehre par. 170.1 To the latter is added the recommendation of voluntary death by starvation.
Not all of the ten forms of savu'uttara-guna-paccakkhāņa (cf. also Thāņa 498a) are equally clear. Renunciation is here regarded as (1) practised on account of something in the future (aņāgaya) or (2) in the past (aikkanta), or as being (3) forced up (? kodi-sahiya), (4) persistently exercised (despite of indisposition, Abhay.] (niyantiya), (5) practised with exceptions (s'āgāra : apavāda-yukta, Abhay.), (6) practised without exceptions (anāgāra), (7) measured (as to the number of dattis, morsels etc., Abhay.) (parimāna-kada), (8) extended to all [food and drink, Abhay. ] (niravasesa), (9) based on a conventional sign (? sākeya), (10) regulated in respect of time (? addhāe). Abhay, quotes eleven gāhās.
3 (297b) On the question which kinds of renunciation are found with beings in general (jivā) and with HAMG: the jīvā, A5 and M may be müla-guna-paccakkhāņi (A5 only desa-m.-g-p.; Abhay. quotes two gāhās) or apaccakkhāņi; the other kinds of beings (H A1-4 G) are apaccakkhāņi. The relative frequency of the different cases.
