## Tenth Uddeshak: Prāyaścitta for Disrespecting Ācārya etc.
1. A monk who speaks harshly to the Ācārya etc. or approves of someone who does so.
2. A monk who speaks to the Ācārya etc. in a way devoid of affection, or approves of someone who does so.
3. A monk who speaks harshly and without affection to the Ācārya etc. or approves of someone who does so.
4. A monk who commits any of the thirty-three pāśātanās of the Ācārya etc. or approves of someone who does so.
(Such a monk receives the Guru-Chaumāsi Prāyaścitta.)
**Discussion:**
The Ācārya etc. can be spoken to harshly or without affection regarding the following seventeen topics:
1. Jāti (caste)
2. Kula (family)
3. Rūpa (form)
4. Bhāṣā (language)
5. Dhana (wealth)
6. Bala (strength)
7. Pariyāya (circumstances)
8. Jasa (fame)
9. Tave (skill)
10. Lābha (profit)
11. Sat (truth)
12. Vaya (age)
13. Buddhi (intelligence)
14. Dhāraṇa (holding)
15. Uggha (excellence)
16. Sīla (conduct)
17. Samāyāri (agreement)
For example, to say explicitly to the Ācārya etc., "You are of a low caste," or to say sarcastically, "You are of a very high caste, I am of a low caste."
Similarly, one should understand this in relation to Kula, Rūpa etc.
**Āgādha:** A word that causes the inner kṣaya to manifest.
**Farusa:** A word devoid of affection and unpleasant, i.e., even if not spoken in anger, it is unpleasant to hear and stings the heart.
**Āgādha-Farusa:** Both harsh and unpleasant, a combination of both.
