Verse 7.30 - The transgressions of Digvirati-vrata (direction-limiting vow)

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation of Tattvartha sūtra 7.30:

ऊर्ध्वाधस्तिर्यग्व्यतिक्रमक्षेत्रवृद्धिस्मृत्यन्तराधानानि ॥ ७.३० ॥

ūrdhvādhastiryagvyatikramakṣetravṛddhismṛtyantarādhānāni || 7.30 ||

Transgressing (vyatikrama) the limits set in the directions, namely, upward (ūrdhva), downwards (adhaḥ), and transverse (tiryag), enlarging boundaries in the accepted directions–kṣetravṛddhi, and forgetting the boundaries set–smṛtyantarādhāna, are the five transgressions of the supplementary vow of abstaining from activity with regard to the direction–digvirativrata. (30)

Hindi Anvayarth:

अन्वयार्थ: [ऊर्ध्वव्यतिक्रमः] माप से अधिक ऊंचाई वाले स्थलों में जाना, [अधःव्यतिक्रमः] माप से नीचे (कुँआ, खान आदि) स्थानों में उतरना, [तिर्यक्व्यतिक्रमः] समान स्थान के माप से बहुत दूर जाना, [क्षेत्रवृद्धिः] की हुई मर्यादा में क्षेत्र को बढ़ा लेना और [स्मृत्यन्तराधानं] क्षेत्र की की हुई मर्यादा को भूल जाना-ये पाँच दिग्व्रत के अतिचार हैं।

Anvayartha: [urdhvavyatikramah] mapa se adhika umcai vale sthalom mem jana, [adhahvyatikramah] mapa se nice (kuma, khana adi) sthanom mem utarana, [tiryakvyatikramah] samana sthana ke mapa se bahuta dura jana, [kshetravriddhih] ki hui maryada mem kshetra ko badha़ा lena aura [smrityantaradhanam] kshetra ki ki hui maryada ko bhula jana-ye pamca digvrata ke aticara haim |

Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:

The transgressions of the vows have been described. Now the transgressions of the supplementary vows are described.

Exceeding the limit set with regard to the direction, is a transgression. This, in short, is of three kinds–transgression upwards–ūrdhva-vyatikrama, transgression downwards–adhovyatikrama, and transgression in transverse direction–tiryagvyatikrama. Examples of these three transgressions are climbing a mountain, descending into a well and entering a cave, respectively. Enlarging the boundaries in the accepted directions out of greed is the fourth transgression, called kṣetravṛddhi. This transgression may be due to negligence, infatuation or attachment. Forgetting the limits set is the fifth transgression, called smṛtyantarādhāna. These five are the transgressions of the supplementary vow of abstaining from activity with regard to the direction–digvirativrata.
