He who by ribaldry and buffoonery, by his comical habits and appearance, by jests and words amuses other people, realises the Kandarpa-Bhâvanâ. (262)
Those who practise spells and besmear their body with ashes for the sake of pleasure, amusement, or power, realise the Abhiyôgika-Bhâvanâ. (263)
The deceitful man who reviles the sacred lore, the Kêvalins, the teacher of the Law, the Satigha, and the monks, realises the Kilvishika-Bhâvanâ. (264)
He who is continuously angry, and who puts his faith in prognostics, realises the Asuratva-Bhâvanâ. (265)
Those who use weapons, eat poison, throw themselves into fire or water, and use things not prescribed by the rules of good conduct, are liable to be born and to die again and again. (Such persons realise the Môha-Bhâvanâ.) (266)
The enlightened and liberated Gñâtri(putra) has thus delivered Thirty-six Lectures of the Uttarâdhyayana, which the pious approve of. (267)
