## Seventh Dasha
The sixth Dasha described the images of the Shramanopasaka. Now, the Sutrakar describes the images of the Bhikshu in this seventh Dasha. Because, the person who wants to adopt the character of all-virtue-form, must enter the Bhikshu-ashram. Therefore, this Dasha describes the Bhikshu's possessions. This is the connection of this Dasha with the previous ones.
There are many images of the Bhikshu, such as Samadhi-pratima, Vivek-pratima, Upadhan-pratima, Prati-sanlinata-pratima, Ekaki-vihar-pratima, Yavamdhya-pratima, Chandra-pratima, Vajramdhya-pratima, Bhadra-pratima, Maha-bhadra-pratima, Samudra-pratima, Sarvatomha-bhadra-pratima, Shruta-pratima, Charitra-pratima, Vaiyavrutya-pratima, Sapta-pindeshana-pratima, Sapta-paneshana-pratima, and Kayotsarga-pratima, etc. But all of these are included in the Shruta and Charitra-pratima. Because, all other images are just different forms of these two. The Bhikshu should achieve his goal through the images, including their differences and sub-differences. That is, his goal should be to destroy karma and attain his desired Nirvana through them.
Keeping this subject in mind, the Sutrakar has created the seventh Dasha. Its initial Sutra is:
"Suyam me, Ausam, Tenam Bhagavaya Evam Akhayam, Ih Khalu Therahin Bhagavantehin Baras Bhikshu-Padimao Panna Tao. Kayara Khalu"
