CHAPTER VIII
दुःखितसुखितान् सत्त्वान् करोमि यदेवमध्यवसितं ते ।
तत्पापबन्धकं वा पुण्यस्य वा बन्धकं भवति ॥ २६०॥
260. "I make other beings miserable or happy". This thought of thine cause karmic bondage of the nature of vice or virtue.
मामि जीवामि य सत्ते जं एवमज्भवसिदं ते ।
तं पावबंधगं वा पुण्णस्स व बंधगं होदि ॥ २६१ ।।
māremi jīvāvemi ya satte jam evamajjhavasidam te tam pāvabamdhagain vā punassa va bandhagam hodi (261) मारयामि जीवयामि च सत्त्वान् यदेवमध्यवसितं ते ।
तत्पापबन्धकं वा पुण्यस्य वा बन्धकं भवति ॥ २६१॥
261. "I kill other beings or I make them live." This thought of thine causes karmic bondage of the nature of vice or virtue.

Next it is pointed out that the thought to kill is the same as killing.
अवसिदेण बंधो सत्ते मारेउ मा व मारेउ । एसो बंधसमासो जीवाणं णिच्छयणयस्स ॥२६२॥ ajjhavasideņa bandho satte mareu mă va māreu eso bandhasamāso jīvanaṁ nicchayaṇayassa (262) अध्यवसितेन बन्धः सच्वान् मारयतु मा वा मारयतु । एष बन्धसमासो जीवानां निश्चयनयस्य ॥ २६॥
262. The will to kill is enough to bring bandage irrespective of the fact whether animals are killed or are not killed. From the real point of view this in short is the mode of bondage in the case of jivas (or empirical selves).

Again the auther points out how thought is the cause of bondage and of papa or punya, vice or virtue.
एवमलिये अदत्ते ब्रह्मचेरे परिग्गहे चेव ।
कीरइ अज्भवसाणं जं तेण दु बज्झए पावं ॥२६३॥
evamaliye adatte abramhacere pariggahe ceva kirai ajjhavasānam jam tena du bajjhae pāvai (263) एवमलीके दत्तेऽब्रह्मचर्ये परिग्रहे चैव ।
कियते ऽध्यवसानं यत्तेन तु बध्यते पापम् ॥ २६३॥
