What a Jain Does Not Eat

Nemicandra's Pravacanasāroddhāra gives in two Prakrit verses the twenty-two things a Jain layperson does not eat, and the same list in the same order is the bāvīs abhakṣya recited today: the five figs, the four vikṛtis, snow, poison, hail, earth, the night meal, many-seeded fruit, the common bodies, pickles, pulse in raw curd, brinjal, unknown fruit, empty fruit, food that has turned. The verse gives no reasons; Siddhasena's commentary does, and the atlas lays the twenty-two on a plate by those reasons rather than by the verse's order, with the numbers kept so the recitation can still be followed. One of the twenty-two is itself a list of thirty-two, the anantakāya, plants whose body is common to infinite souls; the second view draws the Jīvavicāra's six marks for telling such a body as a key, a stalk beside a tuber, and the thirty-two as tiles in the verse's order, identified where Williams identifies them and marked not identified where he does not. Follows the Śvetāmbara reckoning throughout.

All of it is also walkable as an interactive atlas of nested maps.
