less than one muhūrtta in the minimum, or eight years in the maximum. Such bondage is worn off in that very life. This is stated explicitly in the next Sūtra — 5.72 ihaloga-veyaņa-vejjāvadiyam. Such monk incurs karmic bondage which he exhausts in this very life. Bhāsyam Sutra 72 In the case of a monk who is observing the rules of movement completely in accord with the norm, and is self-restrained, though non-vigilant, and has not any inclination to violent activity, if any creature is injured or meets death being touched by the body of the monk, there is karmic bondage which is exhausted in this life. Such bondage, on account of its being of small duration, wears off in that very life. 5.73 jam āuttikayam kammam, tam parinnāe vivegameti. The act done due to inclination towards violence or the resolve to harm is brought to an end by the power of comprehension. Bhāoyam Sutra 73 If an act due to inclination or due to the resolve to harm is done intentionally by the non-vigilant restrained monk, it is nullified or uprooted by comprehension or atonement." 5.74 evam se apamāenam, vivegam kittati veyavī. The learned sage propounded the destruction of the karma by means of the practice of vigilance. Bhajyam Sutra 74 Thus, the karma incurred due to non-vigilance is uprooted by means of vigilance (self-awareness). This is the opinion of the sages, conversant with the scriptures, as has been stated in the Sthānānga - “How can, O Lord! the misery be endured and eradicated?” Replied the Lord, “by means of vigilance."8 5.75 se pabhūyadamsī pabhūyaparinnāņe uvasamte samie sahite sayā jae dattham vippadivedeti appāņam —
