7.1.335

“Venerable Sir! When a homeless ascetic acts without attentiveness—whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, or taking up or putting down clothing, a bowl, a blanket, or a broom without attentiveness—Venerable Sir, does an iryāpathikī action or a sāmparāyikī action accrue to him?”
“Gautama! An iryāpathikī action does not accrue [to him]; a sāmparāyikī action accrues [to him].”
“For what reason?”
“Gautama! In one in whom anger, conceit, deceit, and greed have been eliminated, an iryāpathikī action accrues; in one in whom anger, conceit, deceit, and greed have not been eliminated, a sāmparāyikī action accrues. To one acting according to the scriptures, an iryāpathikī action accrues; to one acting contrary to the scriptures, a sāmparāyikī action accrues. And he is indeed acting contrary to the scriptures. For that reason, [Gautama!]”
