(Gambûsvâmin asked Sudharman):
What causes the bondage (of Soul) according to Mahâvîra? and what must one know in order to remove it?(1)
(Sudharman answered):
If a man kills living beings, or causes other men to kill them, or consents to their killing them, his iniquity will go on increasing.(3)
All this, his wealth and his nearest relations, cannot protect him (from future misery); knowing (this) and (the value of) life, he will get rid of Karman.(5)
