## The Tenth Dasha
**With Hindi Commentary**
Those who are deeply attached to the pleasures of the heavenly realms, either before or after taking the vows of a monk (accepting mendicancy), are born as Asura-Kumaras or Kilbisha-Devas due to their ignorance. After death, they are reborn in the human realm as mute or unclear speakers, like sheep. They continue to wander in the endless cycle of birth and death for an eternity. Therefore, the revered Shraman Bhagwan Mahavir Swami says, "O Ayushmans! O Shramans! This is the result of the Nidana Karma, which leads to the loss of faith in the Kevali-Bhashit Dharma. Therefore, this Karma must be completely abandoned."
**427**
Although many people who follow other Tirthika (non-Jain) doctrines believe that it is better to become a monk in their previous life after experiencing worldly pleasures, their vows are born out of ignorance and generate Kashayas (passions). This is why their actions are described as above.
It is important to note that if these six Nidana Karmas are performed in this specific order, they will hinder the attainment of Samyaktva (right knowledge, right faith, and right conduct). However, if they are performed in a different order, they will not pose any obstacle to achieving Samyaktva, as is evident in the case of Draupadi and others. Similarly, if someone performs this Nidana Karma with the intention of becoming wealthy in another life, they can attain Samyaktva after becoming wealthy. However, in all these cases, the intention of the mind plays a crucial role. The same applies to the case of Krishna Shrenik.
The essence of this statement is that those who perform Nidana Karma with attachment to worldly pleasures will face obstacles in attaining Samyaktva, while others will not.
Now, the Sutrakar describes the seventh Nidana Karma in the order of its occurrence:
"Thus, O Shramans! It is stated in the Dharma: Just as there are worldly pleasures in the human realm, so too, there are Devas (gods) in the heavenly realms. These Devas do not enjoy each other, nor do they enjoy themselves. They are not self-indulgent."
