CANDRAVEDHYAKA PRAKĪRNAKA : 7
9.
The disciple who, distorts the knowledge and does not
acknowledge the virtues of his master under the influence of perversity of belief (mithyāttva) and desires the worldly pleasures, is a saint-killer.
10.
The knowledge obtained by the undeserving is so ashamed as the girl, born in a cultured family is ashamed on getting an uncultured husband.
11.
All of you should learn humility, what use is the learning of the proud to you? It is difficult to earn the quality of humility. The learning is easy for the humble.
12.
All of you should learn the teachings of the masters, ponder over them not to hesitate in practicing those teachings. The knowledge so learnt and pondered over is surely pleasurable in the world beyond, too.
13.
The disciples satisfied by the teaching of the masters, are able to comprehend the meaning of all the canons through their humbly earned knowledge.
