The Doctrine of the Jainas, Described after the Old Sources c8.255

c8.255

The group of the kāiyā, ahigaraṇiyā, paosiyā,² pariyāvaṇiyā and pāṇāivāiyā kiriyā is of a still greater importance which follows from the conception in Pannav. 436 ff. It is proved in Viy. by quite a number of examples (91b; 697a; 717a; 720b f., also 377b; 491b; 703b). We here but mention 91b, where a man hunting game makes himself guilty of the first to the third, the first to the fourth, or of all five of those actions, according as his intention is directed merely to the means of killing (uddava-ṇayāe)³ or to catching the animal or even killing it. Or take Viy. 229b, where an archer from the preparation of the bow and the arrows up to his shooting them into the air commits all five actions in case he hits a being by doing so.
