श्लोक 15

१५) यत्प्रोक्तं प्रतिमाभिराभिरभितो विस्तारिभिः सूरिभिः ज्ञातव्यं तदुपासकाध्ययनतो गेहिव्रतं विस्तरात् । तत्रापि व्यसनोज्झनं यदि तदप्यासूत्र्यतेऽत्रैव यत् तन्मूलः सकलं सतां व्रतविधिर्याति प्रतिष्ठां पराम् ।। १५ ।।

टीका – यद् गेहिव्रतम्। सूरिभिः अभितः समन्तात्। आभिः प्रतिमाभिः विस्तारिभिः प्रोक्तम्। तद् गेहिव्रतं उपासकाध्ययनतः सप्तमांगात्। विस्तराद् ज्ञातव्यम्। तत्रापि उपासकाध्ययने। यदि आदौ व्यसनोज्झनं मतं कथित तद् व्यसनोज्झनम्। अत्रैव पद्मनन्दिग्रन्थे। आसूत्र्यते कथ्यते। यद्यतः। तद् व्यसनोज्झनं सतां व्रतविधेः मूलः सः व्रतविधिः परां प्रतिष्ठां याति गच्छति ।।१५।।

अर्थ – इन प्रतिमाओंके द्वारा जिस गृहस्थव्रत (विकलचारित्र) को यहाँ आचार्योंने विस्तारपूर्वक कहा है उसका यदि अधिक विस्तार से जानना तो उपासकाध्ययन अंग से जानना चाहिए। वहाँपर भी जो व्यसनका परित्याग बतलाया गया है उसका निर्देश यहाँपर भी कर दिया गया है। कारण इसका यह है कि साधु पुरुषोंके समस्त, व्रतविधानादिकी उत्कृष्ट प्रतिष्ठा व्यसनोंके परित्यागपर ही निर्भर है ।। १५ ।।

Verse 15 – English Translation

yat proktaṃ pratimābhir ābhir abhito vistāribhiḥ sūribhiḥ
jñātavyaṃ tad upāsakādhyayanato gehivratam vistarat |
tatrāpi vyasanaujghanaṃ yadi tad apy āsūtryate ’traiva yat
tanmūlaḥ sakalaṃ satāṃ vratavidhir yāti pratiṣṭhāṃ parām || 15 ||

“That householders’ discipline (gṛhastha-vrata) which has been expounded in detail by the sages through these progressive stages (pratimās),
should be understood in greater detail from the Upāsakādhyayana (a Jain canonical text).
Even there, the abandonment of addictions (vices) is taught first;
and the same is also stated here in this text.

For this reason, the renunciation of vices is the very foundation of all noble vows.
Upon this foundation alone does the entire discipline of vows attain its highest perfection.”
(Verse 15)

Explanatory Meaning (Simple English)

The householder’s discipline (also called vikalacāritra) that has been described through these eleven spiritual stages (pratimās) has been explained in detail by the great teachers. Anyone who wishes to study it deeply should refer to the Upāsakādhyayana section of the Jain scriptures.

Even there, the renunciation of harmful habits (such as gambling, intoxication, violence, etc.) is described first. The same principle has also been emphasized in this text by Ācārya Padmanandi.

The reason for this is that the complete and perfect establishment of all religious vows depends entirely upon the abandonment of vices. Only when a person gives up destructive habits can true spiritual discipline flourish and reach its highest state.

The foundation of all spiritual progress for a householder lies in giving up harmful addictions. Without this, even religious observances lose their true value. When vices are abandoned, the path of vows becomes firm, pure, and capable of leading one toward liberation.

श्लोक 16

१६) द्यूतमांससुरावेश्याखेटचौर्यपरांगनाः । महापापानि सप्तेति व्यसनानि त्यजेद् बुधः ।।१६ ।।

टीका इति हेतोः। बुधः। सप्त व्यसनानि त्यजेत्। इतीति किम्। यतः महापापानि महापापयुक्तानि। तान्येव दर्शयति। द्यूतं मांसं सुरा वेश्या आखेटः चौर्य परांगना इति ॥१६॥

अर्थ- जुआ, मांस, मद्य, वेश्या, शिकार, चोरी और परस्त्री; इस प्रकार ये सात महापापरूप व्यसन हैं। बुद्धिमान् पुरुषको इन सबका त्याग करना चाहिये ।।

विशेषार्थ- व्यसन बुरी आदतको कहा जाता है। ऐसे व्यसन सात हैं १ जुआ खेलना, २ मांस भक्षण करना, ३ शराब पीना, ४ वेश्यासे सम्बन्ध रखना, ५ शिकार खेलना (मृग आदि पशुओंके घातमें आनन्द मानना), ६ चोरी करना और ७ अन्यकी स्त्रीसे अनुराग करना। ये सातों व्यसन चूँकि महापापको उत्पन्न करनेवाले हैं, अतएव विवेकी जनको इनका परित्याग अवश्य करना चाहिये ।। १६ ।।

Verse 16 – English Translation

dyūta-māṃsa-surā-veśyā-kheṭa-caurya-parāṅganāḥ |
mahāpāpāni sapteti vyasanāni tyajed budhaḥ || 16 ||

“Gambling, meat-eating, intoxicants, association with prostitutes, hunting, theft, and attachment to another’s wife—
these seven are great sins; therefore, a wise person should abandon these addictions.”

Commentary (Ṭīkā) – English Explanation

The verse states that a wise person (budha) should renounce seven destructive addictions (vyasanas).
They are called mahāpāpa (great sins) because they inevitably lead to grave moral and spiritual downfall.

These seven are:

1. Dyūta – gambling
2. Māṁsa – eating meat
3. Surā – consuming intoxicants
4. Veśyā – association with prostitutes
5. Ākheṭa – hunting
6. Caurya – stealing
7. Parāṅganā – attachment to another person’s spouse

The commentary explains that these are termed mahāpāpa because they generate severe karmic bondage and obstruct spiritual progress. Therefore, a discerning and wise person must completely abandon them.

Expanded Meaning (Viśeṣārtha)

“Vyasana” means a harmful habit or addiction. These seven are considered especially destructive:

1. Gambling
2. Eating meat
3. Drinking alcohol
4. Association with prostitutes
5. Hunting or delighting in the killing of animals
6. Stealing
7. Desire for another’s spouse

Because all these lead to grave sin and moral degradation, a wise and discerning person must renounce them completely. Only by abandoning these vices can one establish oneself on the true path of spiritual discipline and ethical living.
