"Now the Sutrakar speaks about Dharma in the context of Nidana Karma:
"Would such a man, of that kind, be told the Dharma, the Dharma that is known only by the omniscient, by a Shraman or a Mahama, at any time? Yes, he would be told, but he would not listen or accept it. He is not fit to hear that Dharma. He is full of desires, undertakes great endeavors, has many possessions, is unrighteous, and will go to the hell of the south, and will be difficult to awaken. Thus, O Shramanas, this is the fruit of that Nidana Karma, that he is unable to listen to the Dharma that is known only by the omniscient."
