## Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
## Chanda - Rag - Mati -
When the mind is firmly established in pure passion, it becomes **nivitta** (firmly established). Such a person is **mahicche** (possessing high desires) and becomes **jav** (swift) and **uttar-gamie** (a follower of the northern hells). This means that if they are destined for hell due to their actions, they will go to the hells in the north. They are **sukk pakkhiye** (belonging to the bright fortnight) and **agaṇam** (coming) in the future, they become **sulbh-bohie** (easily attaining the knowledge of the path to liberation). **Yavi** (both 'ch' and 'api' words should be understood in the sense of mutual expectation or conjunction) **tan** (this) **kiriya-vadi** (action-oriented) is the one who is **kiriya-vadi** (action-oriented).
## Sixth Dasha
## Mula-artha -
Who is a **kiriya-vadi**? The Guru answers that one who is an **astik-vadi** (believer), **astik-prajna** (possessing the knowledge of a believer), **astik-drishti** (possessing the vision of a believer), **samyag-vadi** (rightly-minded), **moksha-vadi** (seeker of liberation), and **paraloka-vadi** (believer in the afterlife), and who believes that there is this world, the afterlife, mother, father, **arhanta** (liberated souls), **chakravarti** (universal monarchs), **baldeva** (powerful beings), **vasudeva** (divine beings), the fruits of good and bad actions, the specific nature of the fruits of actions, good actions have good fruits, bad actions have bad fruits, beings are born in the afterlife with their own sins and virtues, **nairyaik** (hellish) beings, gods, and liberation, is called a **kiriya-vadi**. They support all these things. This is their knowledge, this is their vision. Their mind is firmly established in pure passion. They are full of intense desires. They are **uttar-gamie** (a follower of the northern hells). They are called **sukk-pakkhiye** (belonging to the bright fortnight) and in the future, they become **sulbh-bohi** (easily attaining the knowledge of the path to liberation). This is called **kiriya-vadi**.
## Teeka -
This sutra describes the subject of **kiriya-vad**. **Kiriya-vad** is the same as **astik-vad**. One who believes in it is called a **kiriya-vadi** or **astik-vadi**. An **astik-vadi** is one who believes that beings and other substances go to the afterlife after death, like "**asti paraloka-yayi jivadi padartha iti vaditum shilam asyeshti - astik-vadi**" (It is the nature of this one to say that beings and other substances go to the afterlife - this is an **astik-vadi**). They are also **astik-prajna** (possessing the knowledge of a believer), like "**asti prajna-vicharan buddhi-vikalpo yasya sa astik-prajna**" (One who has the knowledge of a believer, the thought, the intellect, the discrimination, is an **astik-prajna**).
