"Venerable Sir!" Saying this, the venerable Gautama bowed to and venerated the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, and having bowed to and venerated him, said this:
"Is it true, Venerable Sir, that for a wealthy merchant, a poor man, a miser, and a kṣatriya, the action of non-renunciation (apratyākhyāna-kriyā) operates equally?"
"Yes, Gautama, for a wealthy merchant, a poor man, a miser, and a kṣatriya, the action of non-renunciation operates equally."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said that for a wealthy merchant, a poor man, a miser, and a kṣatriya, the action of non-renunciation operates equally?"
"Gautama, with respect to non-abstinence (avirati). For that reason, Gautama, it is said that for a wealthy merchant, a poor man, a miser, and a kṣatriya, the action of non-renunciation operates equally."
