पापोपदेशहिंसादानापध्यानदुः श्रुतीः पञ्च ।
प्राहुः प्रमादचर्य्यामनर्थदण्डानदण्डधराः ॥ ७५ ॥
सामान्यार्थ – गणधरदेवादिक पापोपदेश, हिंसादान, अपध्यान, दु:श्रुति और प्रमादचर्या, इन पाँच को अनर्थदण्ड कहते हैं।
The best of ascetics call preaching of sin (papopadeśa), giving of things that cause injury (himsādāna), evil thoughts (apadhyāna), listening to undesirable stories (duḥśruti), and negligent activity (pramādacaryā), as purposeless sinful activity -anarthadanda.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Acārya Pujyapada's Sarvārthasiddhi:
That, which leads to sin without any advantage, is purposeless sin. Desisting from such activity is to be free from purposeless sin. Purposeless sin is of five kinds, namely evil thought, preaching of sin, negligent activity, giving of hurtful things, and listening to undesirable stories. Wishing how others
may suffer from victory, defeat, punishment, bondage, mutilation, confiscation of all possessions and so on, is evil thought. Preaching sin is using words which incite others to cause sufferings to animals, to pursue commerce and activities causing injury to living beings and so on. Intoxicated activity is cutting trees, digging the earth, sprinkling water and so on, without any purpose. Giving hurtful things such as poison, thorns, weapons, fire, rope, whip, stick and so on is the fourth kind. The fifth kind is listening to or teaching of stories which provoke injury, lust, etc.
