Those who practise spells and besmear their body with ashes for the sake of pleasure, amusement, or power, realise the Abhiyôgika-Bhâvanâ 2. (263)
The deceitful man who reviles the sacred lore, the Kêvalins, the teacher of the Law, the Sangha, and the monks, realises the Kilvishika-Bhâvanâ. (264)
He who is continuously angry, and who puts his faith in prognostics, realises the Asuratva-Bhâvanâ. (265)
