Tattvārthasūtra
करना, मित्रानुराग - मित्रों में अनुराग करना, सुखानुबन्ध - पहले भोगे हुये सुखों का स्मरण करना, निदान - निदान-बंध करना अर्थात् आगामी विषय-भोगों की वांछा करना - ये पाँच सल्लेखनाव्रत के अतिचार हैं।
Desire for life – jīvitāśamsā, desire for death - maraņāśamsā, attachment to friends - mitrānurāga, attachment to pleasures – sukhānubandha, and longing for future enjoyment - nidāna, are the five transgressions of the practice of dispassionately abandoning one's body - sallekhanā.
Desire for life – jīvitāśamsā – is to long for a longer life. Desire for death - maraņāśamsā – is to long for speedy death. Attachment to friends - mitrānurāga – is recollection of past sport, etc., that one had enjoyed with former friends. Attachment to pleasures - sukhānubandha - is recollection of pleasures enjoyed in the past. Longing for future enjoyment - nidāna – is constantly thinking about future enjoyment. These are the transgressions of the practice of dispassionately abandoning one's body-sallekhanā.
In describing the causes of influx (asrava) of the name-karma of the Tīrthańkara, charity (tyāga) and austerities (tapa) according to one's capacity have been mentioned (see sūtra 6-24). Also, there is the mention of atithisamvibhāgavrata (see sūtra 7-21). What is the nature of charity-tyāga or dāna?
अनुग्रहार्थं स्वस्यातिसर्गो दानम् ॥३८॥
[अनुग्रहार्थं ] अनुग्रह-उपकार के हेतु से [ स्वस्यातिसर्गः ] धन आदि अपनी वस्तु का त्याग करना सो [ दानं ] दान है।
