GOMMATASARA.
जो तसबहादु विरदो अविरदय तह य थावरबहादो । एकसमयहि जीवो विरदाकिरदो जिणेक्कमई ॥ ३१ ॥ यस्त्रसबधाद्विरतः अविरतस्तथा च स्थावरबधात् । एकसमये जीवो विरताविरतो जिनैकमतिः ॥ ३१ ॥
31. (He) who vows against the killing of mobile ( trasa ) souls, and (is) vowless as to the killing of immobile (Sthávara) souls, and is entirely devoted to the Conqueror (Jina), is vowful and vowless (virata - avirata) at one and the same time.

Commentary.
This must be noted that this is a stage which is accompanied by right-belief. A right believer may be a vowless man. But he always carries compassion, etc., in his heart, therefore he never commits unprovoked or unnecessary sin, even if he has not vowed against its commission; so the soul in the fifth stage has not vowed not to hurt immobile souls, but naturally he would not hurt even immobile souls unnecessarily.
संजलणणोकसायाणुदयादो संजमो हवे जम्हा | मलजपमादोविय तम्हा हु पमत्तविरदो सो ॥ ३२ ॥ संज्वलननोकषायाणामुदयात्संयमो भवेद्यस्मात् । 'मलजननप्रमादोपि च तस्मात्खलु प्रमत्तविरतः सः ॥ ३२ ॥
32. Because by the operation of perfect-right-conduct preventing passions (Sanjvalana Kasháya) and minor passions (Nokasháya) control is (effected), carelessness (Pramada ) productive of impurity also ( is caused); therefore it is really the stage careless or imperfect vow (Pramatta Virata ), ( the sixth spiritual stage).
Commentary.
The thought-activity here also is destructive-subsidential (Kshayopashama), i. e., there is destruction and subsidence of almost all the Karmic matter of the passions. Still there is the intense operation (Tibra - Udaya) of the little matter of perfect-conductpreventing and the minor passions, which has escaped [destruction and subsidence. Its effect is to partially prevent the observance of the perfect vows.
