oily smear on the body, standing in a place full of dust, performs exercises with a sword,
cuts or breaks trees such as palm, tamala, plantain, bamboo and asoka and thus causes
destruction to objects, animate and inanimate. In the case of this person who is engaged

that must account for the absence of dust-deposit on his person and not his various bodily

activities of thought, word, and deed merely because of the absence of feeling of
attachment in them, is not bound by karmic particles.
