Definition in this text:

A subsidiary set of actions that bring immediate and severe consequences at death, so that the person who commits them will take rebirth in the lower realms directly after they die. These five are: damaging a caitya, killing a bodhisattva, violating a nun or woman who has exhausted her afflictions, killing a novice student, and stealing from the saṅgha.
