JAINISM Undue anxiety for the future to come; craving for the enjoyment of happiness expected to come in the future.
Being glad at having killed something or somebody, or approving of others who have done so.
Speaking ill of or misrepresenting others, and boasting about it.
Desiring the death of some one, in order to inherit his or her property, or cheating people and boasting about it.
Distrusting or wishing the death of others, for the sake of the safety of our own property.
Giving gratuitous advice about matters that are no concern of ours.
Lending dangerous weapons gratuitously, like guns; or implements which in their use destroy life;--fishing tackle, garden tools.
Sheer carelessness of thought, word, and action, such as drinking; excessive sensuous indulgence; things done, said, or thought through extreme anger, pride, deceitfulness, or greed; excessive sleep; and also talk about matters which do not concern us, such as wars between other countries; talk about a woman's bodily charms; about good dinners; and about kings.
By taking this eighth vow, we use a means of guarding ourselves against many evils, which we might otherwise incur to no purpose.
TRANSGRESSIONS 1. Gestures that arouse the sex passion (Kandarpa). 2. Antics, tomfoolery (Kautkuchya). * Tattvartha, S. VII, 27. Yogasastra, III. 114.
