Eighth vow (Third Gunvrat) is for being liberated from the penalty of purposeless violence.
The four ways which penalize the soul purposelessly, are said to be as follows :

  1. Evil concentration of mind (mournful concentration, cruel concentration)
  2. Reluctance towards righteous deeds
  3. Possession of deadly weapons
  4. Preaching of sinful act

By two acts (I will not do I will not get it done) and by three means like (mind speech and body), I shall abstain from such penalising rewardless acts.
And of such Eighth vow, there are five blemishes, which are worth knowing, but not worth doing, I say them, the way they are :

  1. Speak such words, which will increase passion
  2. Perform bad gestures
  3. Carelessly speak meaningless things (jargon)
  4. Collect deadly weapons
  5. Keep excess attachment towards consumer items.

If any of the above have been committed, then may my such sins be dissolved.
