* ''nailīlāṇa'' "group of minds": often described as the most intuitive thing to be interpreted from the concept of ''lillamurḍhyā'', the ''nailīlāṇa'' concept highlights how every thing done does not only affect who does it, but also the nature around it. Acting selfishly is thus a grave "sin", because only by acting towards the ''lillamurḍhyā'' - that is, aiming at causing the least possible harm - it is possible to really make something good, both for oneself and the others. Most post-Chlamiṣvatrā interpretations define every single life form as a unified entity that acts towards the ''lillamurḍhyā'', which means that everyone has the same ultimate goal and going against this common goal is the worst possible thing to do. | * ''nailīlāṇa'' "group of minds": often described as the most intuitive thing to be interpreted from the concept of ''lillamurḍhyā'', the ''nailīlāṇa'' concept highlights how every thing done does not only affect who does it, but also the nature around it.

* ''hulābvirdas'' "right violence": the original meaning of "right violence" as meant by the Chlamiṣvatrā was that, in some cases, violence is just a natural feature of beings and it is impossible to keep living without being violent when needed, as it is a reaction dictated by one's own survival instinct. This, herefore, is strictly connected to the concept of ''yuninailī''. Violence must thus be ''right'', with survivalism as its main goal: ''hulābvirdas'' herefore means that one must be strong and follow the natural survival instinct.<br/>In Inquisitorial times, this concept has been more strongly linked to the ''nailīlāṇa'': as the collective goal of everyone is to maintain the ''lillamurḍhyā'', who does not act towards this goal is an enemy of everyone and a threat to the whole community. The main instrument of ''hulābvirdas'' is thus the ''ḍāṣṭhirāṣa'', the killing of heretics. | * ''hulābvirdas'' "right violence": the original meaning of "right violence" as meant by the Chlamiṣvatrā was that, in some cases, violence is just a natural feature of beings and it is impossible to keep living without being violent when needed, as it is a reaction dictated by one's own survival instinct.

According to the Chlamiṣvatrā, "the one who believes in the good of what he does is more rightful than the one who, randomly, does a good thing" (''yamei Chlamiṣvatrī hælinaika naviṣya'', 7:19). | ||
