## First Dasha (Chapter)
**With Hindi Commentary**
In the "Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra", both these places are referred to as "Sanjalane, Kohane" (8). They are considered the same place. In the "Samavayanga Sutra", "Pitthi-Mansie" is mentioned as the tenth place, but in the "Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra", it is mentioned as the sixth place, "Pitthi-Mansie Yavi Bhavai". In the "Samavayanga Sutra", "Sasarakkha-Paani-Pae" is the sixteenth place, but in the "Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra", "Akale Sajjhaakari-Yavi Bhavai" is mentioned before this place, and "Sasarakkha-Paani-Pae" is written after it. In the "Samavayanga Sutra", "Akala-Sajjhay-Karae Yavi Bhavai" is mentioned as the sixteenth place. In the "Samavayanga Sutra", "Kalahakare" is the sixteenth place, and in the "Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra", it is the seventeenth place. In the "Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra", "Asamahi-Karae" (Asamadhi-Karaka) is mentioned to compensate for the lack of previous numbers. Also, in some copies of the "Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra", "Bheyakare" is found in place of "Asamahi-Karae", but this only changes the word, not the meaning. Therefore, it is appropriate for wise individuals to remember these numbers carefully and eliminate the Asamadhi-sthana (places of non-meditation) to attain Samadhi-sthana (places of meditation). This will purify the soul and lead it to Nirvana.
Samadhi is the path to liberation, not Asamadhi. Therefore, those who desire liberation should attain Samadhi.
Now, the author of the Sutra concludes the study by writing:
"Ete Khalu Te Therehi Bhagawantahi Biso Asamahi-Thana Panna-Tti Bemi" (21).
"Iti Padhama Dasha Samatta" (21).
"Etani Khalu Tani Staviraibhagavadabhirvinshatyasamadhisthanani Prajnaptaani" iti Bravimi (21).
"Iti Prathama Dasha Samaapta" (21).
