## The Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra, Third Dasha
The phrase "khaddam khaddam" in the Sutra means: "Speaking with a very harsh, loud voice, excessively, to a Ratnik." In other words, addressing a Ratnik with extremely harsh words and in a loud voice, exceeding the appropriate measure.
The "Samavayaanga Sutra" also clarifies its meaning, stating: "Speaking to Ratnakara, or in his presence, with loud words, repeatedly." This means speaking to Ratnakara with big words and excessively.
Therefore, it is proven that Ratnakara should be addressed with respectful and loving words.
Now, the Sutrakar again describes the nature of Ashatana (disrespect):
**"Sehe Rayaniyam Tajjaayena Tajjaayena Padihanitta Bhavai Asayana Sehass." (24)**
**"Shaiksho Ratnikam Tajjaate-Tajjaate Pratihanta (Pratibhashita) Bhavatyaashatana Shaikshasya." (24)**
**Word-by-word meaning:**
* Sehe - Disciple
* Rayaniyam - Ratnakara
* Tajjaayena - With his words
* Padihanitta - Responds (answers)
* Bhavai - Becomes
* Asayana - Ashatana
* Sehass - Disciple
**Meaning:**
If the disciple disrespects Ratnakara by contradicting his words, then the disciple experiences Ashatana.
**Commentary:**
This Sutra states that whatever the Guru teaches the disciple, the disciple should accept it with respect. However, the disciple should not disrespect the Guru's words. For example, if the Guru teaches that every Sadhu should serve the Glan (tired or sorrowful person) and never be lazy, and the disciple asks, "Guruji Maharaj! Why don't you serve the Glan yourself? Why are you lazy?" or "Why don't you do Swadhyaya yourself?" then the disciple experiences Ashatana.
The word "Tajjaate" in the Sutra means to argue against the Guru's words to disrespect him, leading to his ridicule.
