bhavamti. The person thus indulging in acts of violence does neither
comprehend, nor abandon them. 1.87 ettha sattham asamārambhamāṇassa iccette ārambhā pariņņāyā
bhavamti. The person, not indulging in acts of violence, is capable of
comprehending and abandoning them. 1.88 tam pariņņāya mehāvī neva sayam agani-sattham samārambhejjā,
nevannehim agani-sattham samārambhāvejja, agaņi-sattham samārambhamāṇe anne na samanujanejjā. Comprehending this, an intelligent ascetic should not indulge in violence to fire-bodied beings, nor should he instigate others to do
so, nor should he approve of such violence committed by others. 1.89 jassete agani-kamma-samarambhā pariņņāyā bhavamti, se hu mūņi

comprehended and abandoned all acts of violence. Bhagyam Sutra 86-89 See Sūtras 131-34.

abhibhūyaņāņī. It corroborates our interpretation. Even in the present canon (5/111), we get the text abhibhüya adakkhu. There also, it carries the same spirit.
