## Chapter 380 of the Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra, Tenth Dasha
In this, the beings who are established with a steady mind attain the attainments of Anima etc., attain Kevala-Jnana, become detached from all types of karma, become peaceful-minded by being free from all types of karmic stains, and all their physical and mental sufferings are destroyed, etc. Thus, the glorious Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira Swami described the greatness of Nirgrantha-Pravachan. Nirgrantha-Pravachan mainly describes two subjects - Shruta-Dharma and Charitra-Dharma. Both of these are conducive to the welfare of the soul.
Nirgrantha-Pravachan refers to the scripture in which Nirgrantha, i.e., Shraman-Dharma, is specifically expounded. Its analysis is as follows: "Nirgranthanaam idam nairgrantham, pravachanam - prakarashanabhividhinochyante jeevadayaha padartha yasmin tat pravachanam shastramityartha."
Now the Sutrakar describes what the glorious Bhagwan said next:
"Whoever, while dwelling in the presence of the Nirgrantha Dharma, is afflicted by hunger, thirst, wind and sun, deformed and disfigured, and tormented by various afflictions, and is driven by desire, and strives, and sees these fierce sons and great mothers, sons of enjoyment and great mothers, who are about to depart, and in front of them, a great slave, servant, worker, and man, at the end, throws a parasol and a garland, and departs."
