VRATAS
Aticharas.
If we transgress the limits through forgetfulness, or by accident, or by subterfuge, it is atichara ;otherwise transgressing the linits is breaking the vow.
SEVENTH VRATA.
Bhogopabhoga-parimata vrata. Bhoga mesos that which can be enjoyed or used many times, and upabhoga that which can be enjoyed or used only once. such as cakes (food).
Thiags which can be used are of these two kinds, therefore the von is to linit tie fu'nbar of things coming under these two heads.
This helps the first five vows,
This vow includes the lipitation of the activities you will engage in to get the things you use. So there are two divisions in this vow:
1. In regard to the things that you enjoy. If a layman can he should use only things which are inanimate. If he cannot then he will have to use things that are animate; but he must nu inber them and limit them; he should give up flesh foods, also things (vegetables) in which there are infinite lives in
