says". the material weapons comprise fire, poison, salt, oil, soda and sour soil; the mental weapons are non-abstinence and ill-applicd thought, word and deed. In the following three kinds of material weapons, the mental ones are to be understood by implication: (a) Homogeneous weapon - for example, black soil is the weapon for the
yellow soil. Here the soil is the weapon causing injury to another kind
of soil. (b) Heterogeneous weapon – for example, fire (burning the carth). (c) Mixture of both — for example, water mixed with earth, a weapon that
kills earth. 1.20 tatha khalu bhagavayā pariņņā paveiyā. On this subject, the Lord has propounded the principle of comprehension and abandonment. 1.21 imassa ceva jīviyassa, parivamdana-manana-puyaņãe, jāi-maraņa
moyaņāe, dukkhapadighāyaheum. Longing for survival, praise, reverence and adoration; life and death, emancipation, and elimination of physical and mental suffering. 1.22 se sayameva pudhavi-sattham samārambhai, annehim vă pudhavi
sattham samarambhávci, anne vă pudhavi sattham samāramblamte
samanujänai. He himself indulges in killing the earth-bodied beings or instigates others lo do so, or approves of such killing by others. 1.23 tam se ahiyão, tam se abohie. Such violence is for his harm, is for his non-enlightenment. Bhāṣyam Sūtras 22,23 A householder, though firmly established in the Jina's doctrine, may not always be capable of completely desisting from injury to carth-bodied beings. But if an ascetic himself indulges in injury to earth-bodied beings, or gets such injury done by others, or approves others doing so, that is for his harm, being an impediment to his attaining enlightenment. He cannot get enlightenment, consisting of knowledge, faith and conduct for a long time. This is surely a great harm to his well-being. 1.24 se tam sambujjhamāṇe āyāṇīyam samut/hãe. The ascetic comprehends the result of violence and applies himself to the practice of self-restraint.
