I have heard the following explanation by the venerable (Mahâvîra): The Sthaviras, the venerable ones, have declared that dominion is fivefold: The lord of the gods' dominion; The king's dominion;
The houseowner's dominion; The householder's dominion; The religious man's dominion. This is the whole duty, &c. Thus I say. (15).
End of the Seventh Lecture, called Regulation of Possession.
1 Oggaha, avagraha.
2 Gâhâvaî, grihapati. In another part of the commentary it is explained grâmamahattarâdi, his dominion is grâmapâtakâdikam.
Sâgâriya, sâgârika. It is explained sayyâtara, host. His dominion is shampasâlâdi.
* Sâhammiya, sâdharmika. His dominion is vasatyâdi, his domicile which extends for a Yogana and a quarter. When he takes possession (parigraha) of it, he must ask permission of the possessors.
