(1)\nIf a monk or a nun hear any sounds, viz. of the Vin\u00e2, Vipamk\u00ee, Vadv\u00eesaka, Tunaka, Panaka, Tumbav\u00eenik\u00e2, or Dhamkuna, they should not resolve to go where they will hear any such-like various sounds of stringed instruments. (2)\nThe same precepts apply to sounds of kettledrums, viz. of the T\u00e2la, Lattiy\u00e2, Gohiy\u00e2 7, or Kirikiriy\u00e2; (3)\nAlso to sounds of wind instruments, viz. the conch, flute, Kharamukh\u00ee, or Piripiriy\u00e2. (4)\nA 1 monk or a nun should not, for the sake of hearing sounds, go to walls or ditches, &c. (see II, 3, 3, \u00a7\u00a7 1 and 2); (5)\nNor to marshes, pasture grounds, thickets, woods, strongholds in woods, mountains, strongholds in mountains; (6)\nNor to villages, towns, markets, or a capital, hermitages, cities, halting-places for caravans; (7)\nNor to gardens, parks, woods, forests, temples, assembly halls, wells; (8)\nNor to towers, pathways, doors, or town gates; (9) Nor where three or four roads meet, nor to courtyards or squares; (1o)\nNor to stables (or nests) of buffaloes, cattle, horses, elephants, &c.

(16)\nA monk or a nun should not, for the sake of hearing sounds, go to places where there are many great temptations 1, viz. where many cars, chariots, Mlekkhas, or foreigners meet. (17)\nA monk or a nun should not, for the sake of hearing sounds, go to great festivals where women or men, old, young, or middle-aged ones are well-dressed and ornamented, sing, make music, dance, laugh, play, sport, or give, distribute, portion or parcel out plenty of food, drink, dainties, and spices. (18)\nA monk or a nun should not like or love, desire for, or be enraptured with, sounds of this or the other world, heard or unheard ones, seen or unseen ones.\nThis is the whole duty, &c.\nThus I say.

The word has probably here the original meaning, conflux; or mah\u00e2sava is a mistake for mahosava, which would be identical with mahussava, great festivals, in the next paragraph.","title":"Jaina Sutras, Part I (SBE22): \u00c2k\u00e2r\u00e2\u1e45ga S\u00fbtra: Book II, Lecture 11","type":"page"}
