:255 : harm if I enjoy pleasures ", one would think that his duty was over, and you, too, would find no objection in accepting that view. But according to the Jaina Scriptures, that is not permissible.
Moreover, on the plain assertion that “only this much-anı! nothing more-is my capacity” there would be no fear of violating the vow. But this would create confusion in the observance of vow. For, at first, one would enjoy pleasure by saying that, “my capacity is this much" and after some time, he would again accept the observance of pratyākhyāna, and again, he would start enjoying on the same excuse, and so on, leading ultimately the observance of vow to confusion.
Thus, according to you, those who act contrary to the roligious vow on the ground of a parimāņa pratyākhyāna, will not be bound by excessive enjoyment, transgression of vow, or even remonstration.
Nor, will they be required to abide by the lary of observance of all vows on the same ground. For according to you, the observance of one vow is enough for the attainment of asceticism. 241-242 (2536-2537).
Taking the alternative interpretation of a-parimāņa as the Future Time or continuance, the Acārya states--
