vows called of minor nature? It is because it is not possible for him to desist from all sins, like injury (himsā), completely. If so, what does he desist from? He desists from injury (himsā) to the beings with two or more senses – trasa jīva – hence, he observes the first of the minor vows-ahimsānuvrata. The householder refrains from speaking lies, attributable to faults like fondness (sneha) and delusion (moha), and potent cause of the destruction of his home or village; this is his second minor vow of speaking the truth - satyānuvrata. Out of the fear of punishment by the king or thinking that it may hurt someone, the householder certainly refrains from taking things not given to him. Moreover, his attraction for anything not given to him is reduced and thus he is said to observe the third minor vow of non-stealing - acauryāņuvrata. His desire for sexual union with other (not one's own wife) married or unmarried women becomes extinct; this is the fourth minor vow of renouncing other women - parastrītyāga aņuvrata. He limits his possessions, like riches, corn and land, of his own accord; this is the fifth minor vow of limiting possessions - parigrahaparimāņa anuvrata. Are these the only peculiarities of the householder, or are there others also?
