sapt vyasan tattvartha sutra reference
Sapta Vyasan means the seven vices to be avoided by a Jain householders. Commonly listed as: gambling, intoxicants (drink), illicit sexual conduct, hunting, trade in forbidden things, abusive speech, and coveting others’ spouses. This collective warning appears in later Jain works and is discussed in canonical and semi-canonical texts.
Key references you can read: - Jñātṛdharmakathā Sūtra (Jain scripture where the dangers of vices are shown) - Uttarādhyayana Sūtra (householder ethics; mentions avoiding these vices) - Ratnakaranda Śrāvakācāra (verses that list seven vices for lay followers)
Note on tradition: the exact phrasing “Sapta Vyasan” may not appear verbatim in the earliest Agamas, but the warning against these seven vices is present and elaborated in later Jain literature, across Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions.
If you’d like, I can pull exact verses (in Sanskrit/Prakrit) and give a focused Digambara vs. Śvetāmbara note.
