Dasha-shruta-skandha-sutra
Second Dasha
It is said in the solution that the divine speech of the Bhagavan has supernatural power, which is rational and comprehensible, and is also beneficial for both the worlds. All these qualities are found in the present Dasha, so there is no doubt that this statement is of the Bhagavan himself. Those who wish for their own welfare should study it with reverence and faith.
Now the sutra-maker, while describing the present subject, first describes the subject of the first Shabala defect:
1. Hattham-kammam karemaane sabale.
Meaning of the words: Hattham-kammam - hand-work, karemaane - while doing, sabale - with the Shabala defect.
Meaning - Doing hand-work with the Shabala defect.
Commentary - This sutra highlights the fact that there are such ignorant people in the world who commit many such misdeeds, which easily lead to self-harm and violation of restraint.
There are two such vile deeds in the world, the full fruit of which cannot be borne even in this entire life, so their consequence has to be suffered in the next world as well. The deeds whose impact makes the human birth itself futile, and the soul has to suffer a wretched state instead of a happy one, i.e. its entire life becomes full of sorrow. This sutra describes some such deeds. For example, due to the rise of the Mohaniya karma, if a living being becomes subject to the Veda-vikara, then under its influence, if a man emits semen through hand-action or a woman performs some improper act with a piece of wood etc., then they will surely become weak, sickly and diseased. It is also written:
Kampah, svedah, shramah, murchha, bhrama-glanir-bala-kshayal.
Rajayakshma-adi-rogash-cha bhaveyu-maithunotthatah.
