## Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
Not only does a non-believer have to wander in the cycle of existence, but they also have to become a south-bound hell-being to experience various kinds of suffering. The hells in the south direction are extremely painful compared to the hells in the north direction. There, the hell-being experiences suffering and also earns the karma of rare enlightenment. This means that even if they get a human birth due to the rise of some auspicious karma, attaining Dharma becomes extremely rare for them. Therefore, they become rare-enlightened in the future. Their past bad karma prevents them from going towards the path of liberation, and as a result, they remain turned away from it. This is called inaction-doctrine.
The intention of the Sutrakar in explaining this non-believer or inaction-doctrine is simply to remind the devotee that the aforementioned state is the fate of those who believe in non-belief. Therefore, a person who desires their own well-being should completely abandon this non-belief doctrine. Because it contains nothing but injustice, and its consequences are terrible in both worlds.
## Sixth Dasha
Now the Sutrakar speaks about the subject of belief:
"Who is the one who believes in action-doctrine? The one who believes in action, believes in the world, believes in the view, believes in right action, believes in restraint, believes in the existence of the other world, believes in the existence of this world, believes in the existence of Maya, believes in the existence of the soul, believes in the existence of Arhanta, believes in the existence of Chakravarti, believes in the existence of Baldeva, believes in the existence of Vasudeva, believes in the existence of the fruits of good and bad karma, believes that good karma leads to good results, believes that bad karma leads to bad results, believes in the attainment of liberation through good deeds, believes in the transmigration of souls, believes in the existence of Nirjara, believes in the existence of Devas, believes in the existence of Siddhi, such a person is the one who believes in action, believes in the world, believes in the view, and is deeply attached to desire, passion, and delusion."
