## Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
He who constantly condemns the path that leads away from the wrong path, turning his own and others' minds away from it, and using his false arguments to prove the righteous path as unjust and condemns it, earns the karma of great delusion.
The word 'Dutte' in the sutra has two meanings: 'Dushta' (wicked) and 'Dveshi' (hateful). The verb 'Avyarei' also has two meanings: 'Apaharati' (takes away) and 'Apkaroti' (does harm).
