I wasn't too familiar so I asked ChatGPT to help me with it. What I discovered is that the terms can possibly be understood like this.
Ill will (Byapada) could be an internal performance like thoughts and feelings associated with unwholesome hate and aversion(dosa).
Harmfulness (Vihimsa) could be an external performance like behaviors and actions associated with unwholesome hate and aversion.
Can Ill will and harmfulness also be associated with greed and desire(lobha)?
Like ill will for someone because they have desired material or social status?
If so then byapada might include both lobha and dosa internally performed, vihimsa could be lobha and dosa externally performed, and renunciation would possibly be the giving up of the attachment(upadana,moha) which develops into the lobha and dosa that is internally and externally performed.
This would include all three lobha, dosa, moha also an understanding of internally and externally. Thoughts?
Just as a bird, wherever it goes, flies with its wings as its only burden; so too is he content with a set of robes to provide for his body and almsfood to provide for his hunger. Wherever he goes, he takes only his barest necessities along. This is how a monk is content.(DN11)
