Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is wrong to harm sentient creatures unless overriding good will result for them. It is wrong to kill such animals unless in immedi ate self-defense or in defense of those for whom one is personally responsible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paramāṇu or ultimate particle is the basic building block of all matter. The Paramāṇu and Pudgala are permanent and indestructible. Matter combines and changes its modes but its basic qualities remain the same. According to Jainism, it cannot be created, nor destroyed.
