Renouncing attachment (rāga) and aversion (dveṣa) in the presence of agreeable and disagreeable objects of the senses - touch (sparśana), etc. constitute the five observances for the vow of non-attachment (aparigraha or ākimcanya).
The observances for strengthening the vows have been described. Are there other contemplations also with regard to injury, etc., which lead to steadiness in practising the vows? Yes. Contemplations with regard to the opposites also are to be practised.
हिंसादिष्विहामुत्रापायावद्यदर्शनम् ॥९॥
[हिंसादिषु ] हिंसा आदि पाँच पापों से [ इह अमुत्र ] इस लोक में तथा परलोक में [ अपायावद्यदर्शनम् ] अपाय और अवद्य का दर्शन - अर्थात् दुःख, आपत्ति, भय तथा निंद्यगति की प्राप्ति होती है, ऐसा बारम्बार चिन्तवन करना चाहिये।
It is worthwhile to contemplate that injury (himsā), etc., lead to calamity (apaya) and reproach (avadya) in this world and in the next.
