2.683.1
śabdaś cāto 'kāmakāre ||
And hence also a scriptural passage as to non-proceeding according to liking.
2.683.2
śabdaścānannasya pratiṣedhakaḥ kāmakāranivṛttiprayojanaḥ kāṭhakānāṃ saṃhitāyāṃ śrūyate - 'tasmādbrahmaṇaḥ surāṃ na pibet' iti /
so 'pi 'na ha vā evaṃvidi' (chā. 5.2.1) ityasyārthavādatvādupapannataro bhavati /
tasmādevañjātīyakā arthavādā na vidhaya iti // 31 //
There is also a scriptural passage prohibiting unlawful food, the purpose of which it is to stop procedure therein according to one's liking, viz. in the Samhitâ of the Kathas, 'Therefore a Brâhmana is not to drink spirits.' This text also is more appropriate if we take the passage, 'To him who knows this,' as an arthavâda.--Hence passages of that kind are arthavâdas, not injunctions.
2.683.3
8 āśramakarmādhikaraṇam / sū. 32-36
The works of the âsramas (are incumbent on him) also (who does not desire release); because they are enjoined.
