7.1.331

"Venerable Sir! A lay follower has already renounced the violent destruction of mobile beings, but has not renounced the violent destruction of earth-beings. If he, while digging the earth, should injure some mobile being, Venerable Sir, does he transgress that vow?"
"That meaning is not valid, for he certainly does not apply himself to its killing."
"Venerable Sir! A lay follower has already renounced the violent destruction of plant-beings. If he, while digging the earth, should cut the root of some tree, Venerable Sir, does he transgress that vow?"
"That meaning is not valid, for he certainly does not apply himself to its killing."
