THE NINE CATEGORIES.

stealing, is prohibited in all its branches: one must not steal, receive stolen property, shelter a thief, or smuggle. Treason, curiously enough, is also forbidden under this head. The other Sins forbidden are Abrahmacarya (2444) or unchastity; Purigraha (g), or gathering possessions' with too much greed; Krodha (14), anger; Mana (HA), or conceit; Māyā (4), or deceit; Lobha (), avarice; Raga (11), or overfondness for persons or things; Dvesa (à¶), or enmity (which includes envy, spite and maliciousness); Kles'a (1), quarrelsomeness; Abhyākhyāna (224 ~414), slander; Pais'unya (4-4), or talebearing; Parapravada Ninda (4249 fiel), or fault finding; Rati Arati (zla a), lack of self control; Māyāmriṣā (2), or suggestio falsi; and Mithyadarsana S'alya ( 2164), or false faith.
All these eighteen sins are carefully tabulated as forbidden, but there is a curious passage in one of the new Jaina religious school books, which runs: "Children, you must not commit such sins aimlessly, where no end can be gained for yourselves, and the interests of your relatives are not concerned; moreover sins should be kept within bounds."
Sin will hinder our attaining in our next birth to Right Knowledge, Faith and Conduct. For example, if a man is reborn wealthy, he may be unable to give alms owing to the miserliness produced by his sins in a past life.
