7-8. Disrespect towards lay devotees Shravak and shravikas. Like monks and
nuns, male and female devotees are also tirath (important sections of the order). In fact they are called father and mother of monks and nuns moving ahead on the salvation path. They also attain liberation. To say that a householder cannot properly practice the vows and that salvation is not possible for householders or thus the conduct of householders is a maligned one or to condemn them is disrespect to householder devotees.

12. Disrespect towards the other world: In the context of human beings is the present world. The state of existence as celestial beings, animal beings and hellish beings are the other states of existence.
