branches of trees aimlessly, the Himsüdana or distribution of offensive weapons among people, and the Duhśruti or reading or hearing the reading of the bad books. The Anartha-danda-vrata is transgressed even when the vower makes fun of or with other (Kandarpa); when he throws mischievous and practical jokes at others (Kaut-kucca); when he becomes garrulous (Mankharya); when he overdues a thing (Asamiksyādhikaraņa); when he keeps himself supplied with enjoyable things which are more than what are necessary for him (Upabhoga-paribhoganarthakya). The disciplinary or the Sikşa-vrata's have, as said before, four forms. The first is the Sāmāyika which consists in self-contemplation at stated times e.g. sunrise, noon or sun-set everyday for a stated period every time. The Sāmāyika is transgressed by misdirection of mind (Manoduspranidhānam), by misdirection of body (Kāya-duspranidhānam), by misdirection of speech (Vāk-duspraņidhānam), by decreasing the interest in the Sāmāyika (Anādara), by forgetting the formalities connected with the Sāmāyika (Smstyanupasthānam). The Poşadhopavāsa is the second Sikşa-vrata and means a vow to fast on four days in a month viz, on the two eighth and the two fourteenth days in the two lunar fortnights in every month, by abstaining from food and drink and by making religious study etc. in those days of fasting. The vow of fasting is violated by excerating in a place without inspecting and sweeping it before hand (Apratyavīkşitāpramărjitotsara), by taking up a thing from or laying it down in a place, without first inspecting and sweeping it (Apratyavikṣitāpramārjitadana), iby arranging for sitting in a place within first inspecting and sweeping it (Apratyaviksitāpramarjita--Samstaropakramana), by giving up interest in fasting (Anādara) and by forgetting the prescribed formalities for fasting (Smstyanupasthānam). The Bhogopabhoga-parimāna is a vow, limiting one's enjoyment of both exhaustible (Upabhoga) and un-exhaustible (bhoga) things. It is the third of the disciplinary sub-vows and is transgressed when the vower takes to eating living things even such as green vegetables (Sacittāhāra); when he uses for his own purpose, a thing which is connected with a living thing e.g. when he uses a green leaf as a plate (Sacitta-Sambandhāhāratā); when he consumes a mixture of living and non-living things e.g. hot and cold water together (Sacitta-Sammiśrāhára); when he eats exciting or particularly invigorating food (Abhişavāhāra); or, when takes an ill-cooked food (Duhpakvähära). The fourth sub-vow under the Sikşa-vrata is the Atithi-samvibhāga, which means taking a vow to take one's meals only after giving a part of them to deserving guest,- preferable, a man living the austere moral life of an ascetic, having right faith and right conduct; or, failing him, a house-holder having right conduct only; or, failing him, a person with right faith but without any observance of the vows. These are called the Supātra's or worthy donees. Not so good a donee would be one whose outward conduct is good but who is devoid of right faith, he is a Kupátra. A person, however, whose conduct is not good but who is not possessed of right faith is an Apätra or unworthy donee. The Jaina's lay down principles which determine the nature of the things to be given; (e.g. the things given should be helpful to study etc.); the manners in which they are to be given (e.g. by welcoming the guest etc. etc.); and the attitude, both of the giver and of the taker, at the time when the gifts are made (e.g. in all humility etc.). The Jaina's, however, assert that the matter of Karuna-däna or charities, no distinction is to be made as regards the persons who are to receive the gifts; so that food
