## Ninth Dasha
**With Hindi Commentary**
This has been composed and as a result, thousands have been brought across the ocean of the world and established in the island of religion. If such men are killed, many will suffer immeasurable loss and the killer will earn the karma of great delusion. Due to this, he will have to wander in the cycle of birth and death again and again. Therefore, every individual should not kill benefactors, even by mistake, for the protection of the people and to save himself from the bondage of this karma.

**Commentary:**
This sutra speaks about those who corrupt others in religion. The person who has come to accept the religion in its entirety, and who has accepted the religion in its entirety, i.e., who is following the path of a saint well, whoever corrupts him from religion by force, i.e., deviates him from the path of religion by various false arguments, earns the karma of great delusion.
