इच्छां विना यत्किल शीलपालनमज्ञानकष्टं नरके च ताडनम् । तिर्यक्षु तुक्षुद्वधबन्ध वेदनमेतैरकामा भवतीह निर्जरा ॥६९।।
Meaning :- That is called Akamanirjara when Nirjara is done by experiencing the Karmas involuntarily such as the observance of continuance without any desire of the observer, through fear and pressure of the public, through practising penances like the month's fast etc. When the mental frame is that of a False Vision and not of a Right Vision, through tolerating the beating. the cutting asunder and the tearing asunder of the limbs at the hands of the Paramadhamis in the hellish regions, and through the endurance of hunger, thirst, beatings, bondage, etc. in the animal lives. All this is endured without any desire whatsoever on the part of the agent and therefore it is styled as Akamanirjara in the scriptures. (69)
