What asavas should be removed by avoiding :--
The Monk, full of self-discrimination, carefully walks avoiding the fearful elephant, rude horse, striking bullock, wrathful dog, serpent, column, thorny place hill, spring, pond and place of refuse. He avoids those unfit seats, and those sinful freindships on account of which the learned, chasteful monk may be liable to commit sin. Thus those harmful asavas which would have been caused by non-avoiding them are not caused. Thus Asavas should be removed by avoidance.
Note.-- This is included in the five kinds of carefulness (Samiti) of the Jains stated before to avoid the inflow due to carelessness.
