activity - kāyagupti, control of vocal activity - vacanagupti, and control of mental activity-manogupti.
For the ascetic who is unable to control activity altogether, activity that is free from injury is indicated.
ईर्याभाषैषणादाननिक्षेपोत्सर्गाः समितयः ॥५॥
[ईर्याभाषैषणादाननिक्षेपोत्सर्गाः ] सम्यक् ईर्या, सम्यक् भाषा, सम्यक् एषणा, सम्यक् आदाननिक्षेप और सम्यक् उत्सर्ग - ये पाँच [ समितयः] समिति हैं। (चौथे सूत्र का 'सम्यक्' शब्द इस सूत्र में भी लागू होता
The fivefold regulation of activities – samiti – pertain to walking - Tryā, speaking - bhāṣā, eating - eşaņā, lifting and laying down – ādānanikṣepa, and depositing waste products – utsarga.
The word 'samyak' - carefulness - is supplied. Walking, etc., are qualified by this. That is, carefulness in walking - Tryāsamiti, carefulness in speaking - bhāṣāsamiti, carefulness in eating - eşaņāsamiti, carefulness in lifting and laying down - ādānaniksepasamiti, and carefulness in depositing waste products – utsargasamiti. These five kinds of regulations are the means by which the ascetic, acquainted with the dwellings of minute organisms, avoids injury to these. The ascetic who conducts himself in this manner attains stoppage (samvara) of influx (āsrava) of karmas arising from nonrestraint (asamyama).
The third means of stoppage (samvara) is virtue (dharma). Its subdivisions are mentioned in the next sūtra.
