1.73 jaminam virüvarüvehim satthehim agni-kamma-samārambhenam
agani-sattham samārambhamāne, anne vanegarūve pāņe vihimsati. But they indulge in violent actions to fire-bodied beings with various
weapons, which involve destruction of other classes of living beings. Bhāsyam Sūtra 73
The Niryukti has enumerated the weapons that injure the fire-bodied beings as follows:
(1) Soil or sand (2) Water (3) Moist vegetation (4) Mobile creatures (5) Homogeneous weapons: for instance, leaf-fire is the weapon for
hay-fire. The hay-fire turns life-less when touched by leaf-fire. (6) Heterogeneous weapons: for instance, water (carbon-dioxide)
etc. (7) Mixture of both (fifth and sixth), for instance, fire mixed with
chaff and cowdung is the weapon for other types of fire. 1.74 tattha khalu bhagavayā parinņā paveiyā.
On this subject the Lord has propounded the principle of
comprehension and abandonment. 1.75 imassa ceva jīviyassa, parivamdaņa-māņaņa-pūyaņāe, jāi
marana-moyaņāe, dukkhapadighāyaheum. Longing for survival; praise, reverence and adoration; life and death, emancipation, and elimination of physical and mental
suffering. 1.76 se sayameva agani-sattham samarambhai, annehim vă agani
sattham samārambhāvei, anne vā aganisattham samarambhamāne samāņujāņai. He himself indulges in killing the fire-bodied beings or instigates
others to do so or he approves of such killings by others. 1.77 tam se ahiyāe, tam se abohoe.
Such violence is for his harm, is for his non-enlightenment. 1.78 se tam sambujjhamăne āyānīyam samutthāe.
He (the ascetic) comprehends the result of violence and applies
himself to the practice of self-restraint. 1.79 socca khalu bhagavao aņagārāņam vă amtie ihamegehim nayam TATU YF11 3 tarck-FGHFOR, 2002 C
