## The Tenth Chapter
**With Hindi Commentary**
**Question:** How does a Nirgranthi (a liberated soul) perform karma-removal simply by seeing those men?
**Answer:** The Sutrakar (author of the sutras) himself says: "Indeed, womanhood is suffering, because it is difficult for women to travel from one village to another, or from one encampment to another. Just as the flesh of a mango, or the flesh of an Amratak (a fruit with many seeds), or the flesh of meat, or the fruit of a Salmali tree, are desirable, sought after, and coveted by many people, so too are women desirable, sought after, and coveted by many people. Therefore, womanhood is suffering, and manhood is good."
