To set and observe a limit on the possessions of wealth is called the minor vow of non-possession.
According to the Tattvārthasūtra 7.29, what are the five transgressions of the vow of limiting possessions (parigraha-parimāṇa-aṇuvrata)? To exceed the limits set by ownself with regards to lands and houses (kṣetravāstu-pramāṇātikrama), gold and silver (hiraṇyasuvarṇa-pramāṇātikrama), cattle and corn (dhanadhānya-pramāṇātikrama), maids and servants (dāsīdāsa-pramāṇātikrama); and cloths and utensils (kupyabhānda-pramāṇātikrama) are the five transgressions of the vow of limiting possessions.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
