## Dashami Dasha
**With Hindi Commentary**
They do not engage in [sexual] acts with others, but from their own soul, they assume the forms of different gods and goddesses and engage in love-play, or they subdue their own goddesses and engage them in sensual pleasures. If all these austerities and rules are as before, it is not possible for that person to have faith, belief, and interest in the Kevali-proclaimed Dharma, meaning they cannot have faith, etc., in the Dharma.
**Commentary:** This sutra states that the person who performs the Nidana Karma thought in their mind, "In the realm of gods, there are gods who do not engage in love-play with the goddesses of others, but from their own soul, they create two different forms of gods and goddesses and engage in mutual enjoyment, or they are content with enjoying their own goddesses. If my austerities and rules have any fruit, then I too will become a god who engages in both types of love-play." Due to the influence of those austerities, etc., they become that type of god. When their divine karma is exhausted, they are reborn in the mortal realm, either in a fierce or pleasure-seeking family, as a son. There, they get all the materials for worldly enjoyment, and getting caught in them, they cannot have faith, belief, and interest in the Kevali-proclaimed Dharma, because due to the influence of that karma, the mohaniya karma arises strongly in their mind, causing the feeling of Dharma to disappear from their mind.
This is the fruit of the Nidana Karma that they do not have faith in Jain Dharma. The question arises, can they have faith in any other Dharma? The sutra-maker himself answers:
**"They become like others. Those who go to the Aranya, the Avasahya, the Gama, the Kanhu, the Rahasya, the No Bahu-Sanjaya, the No Bahu-Virya, in all beings, in all living beings, they say to themselves, 'I am not to be killed, others are to be killed. I am not to be oppressed, others are to be oppressed. I am not to be deceived, others are to be deceived."**
