* **11.** Suyagadaang Shru. 1, A. 4, is related to Brahmacharya.
* **12.** In Acharang Sutra A. 5, U. 4, the Sutrakar mentions Santhara as the final resort for protecting Brahmacharya, among other measures.
* **13.** In Pracharang Sutra A. 8, U. 4, the Sutrakar suggests death by hanging as a means to protect Brahmacharya and considers such death as auspicious.
* **14.** Both 'Nav Vaad' and 'Das Brahmacharya Samadhi Sthan' discuss similar topics. Following them completely is essential for complete protection of Brahmacharya.
* **15.** Not following 'Nav Vaad' can lead to the occasional rise of Mohkarma, which can result in all the actions described in this section. Engaging in transgressions or immoral acts prevents the seeker from remaining stable in self-control. The Agamas consider Mohandha (delusion) to be a deeper blindness than other blindnesses. Therefore, the seeker should live according to the Agamas with constant vigilance. All the sutras in this section mention the atonement for polluting the Brahmacharya Mahavrata. They also mention various tendencies that pollute the Brahmacharya Vrata, and all the sutras include the phrase 'Mauggamass Mehunavadiae'. This is because the fundamental intention in each tendency is 'to engage in sexual intercourse with a woman'.
* **16.** The Nishith Sutra is considered confidential due to the detailed description of atonement for Brahmacharya violation in the sixth and seventh sections. Here, confidentiality means that the student of this Sutra should be highly qualified and that the study should not lead their soul towards any kind of subject-passion.
* **17.** In this age of publication, it is impossible to prevent the publication of any famous Agama or text due to the continuous development of printing presses. However, the student of this Sutra should be determined to calm their distorted tendencies. Only then can the study of this Sutra lead them to Samadhi.
* **18.** Sutra No. 13 provides information about letter writing. According to this Sutra, it seems that the practice of writing and keeping writing materials was prevalent in the Sadhu community during the Agama period. This section mentions atonement for writing a letter with the intention of sexual intercourse. Atonement for the tendency to write, apart from the intention of sexual intercourse, is not mentioned in any other section. While the systematic compilation of Agamas might have happened during the time of Devadhiggani, it does not seem that the Sadhu community completely prohibited writing and keeping writing materials before that time. This Sutra makes it clear.
