THE SINFUL DISPOSITION
25
14 No external stress, one fault, not longing
to live upto truth, not resisting ..-+-- 15 Haternal stress, repeated slips, not longing
to live upto truth, not resisting +--- 18 No external stress, repeated slips, not long
ing to live upto truth, not resisting ---- Of these, the first is the best disposition, deserying of the lightest penance, and the last, the worst, Thich must be dealt with severely if the transgressor is to be reclaimed. Suitable penance should be prescribed for the remaining types, according to their enoi mity o mildness
Generally speaking, the three affirmative elements in the last three out of the four cows are jodicative of goodness of disposition; but in combination with the second element in the first ror e lding without external pressure their value is considerably lessened The three opposite traits in these rots naturally go to weaken the argument in farour of the natural goodness of the disposition. They have to be cradıcated firmly, by severe penance The total number of the combinations of the elements in the last three roms is eight, which may be put down as follons - 1 One fault, longing to live upto truth, resisting 2 Repeated slips, longing to live up to trath,
resisting 3 Ono fault, no longing to live upto truth,
resisting
