THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
Hence the name of the stage: -imperfect vow (Pramatta Virata).
Sanjvalana Kasháyas are four, being those kinds of anger, pride, deceit and greed which prevent the vows which constitute perfect right conduct; and the minor passions (Nokasháya) are mine :
Hásya-laughter, Rati-indulgence, Arati - Ennui, Shoka-sorrow, Bhaya-fear, Jugupsá- disgust, Strí-veda-feminine inclination, Purusha-veda masculine inclination, Napumsaka-veda-common inclination.
Pramáda means carelessness in being attentive to the realisation of right-belief, right knowledge, and right conduct.
वत्तावत्तपमादे जो वसइ पमत्तसंजदो होदि। सयलगुणसीलकलिलो महव्वई चित्तलायरणो॥ ३३ ॥ व्यक्ताव्यक्तप्रमादे यो वसति प्रमत्तसंयतो भवति । सकलगुणसीलकलितो महाव्रती चित्रलाचरणः ॥ ३३॥
33. He who remains in evident (Vyakta) and nonevident (Avyakta) carelessness (Pramáda), with all the (28 Root, Múla) qualities (Guna), and calm dispositions, (Shila) has full vows (Mahávrata) and is of variegated (i.e., imperfect) conduct, i. e., the observer of imperfect vow (Pramatta Samyata).
Commentary. Evident (Vyakta) oarelessness is evident to the saint himself, and to others who may observe him. Non-evident (Avyakta) carelessness is hidden, and is known only to those who possess direct knowledge (Pratyaksha Jnána).
28 Root-qualities (Múla-guna) these are the essential qualities in a saint, even of the lowest degree, viz: 1-Five Maha-vratas- the five great vows:
(1) Ahimsa-non-injury to any of the 10 vitalities. (2) (Satya)-truth in speech, thought and deed. (3) (Asteya)-to take nothing unless and except it is given. (4) (Brahma-charya)- chastity. (5) (Parigraha--Tyága)-renunciation of worldly attachment.
