## Eleventh Uddeshak
2. Praise of the Shakyamat (Buddhist) doctrine and other false doctrines.
3. Praise of the Mallagandha dharma (Jain heterodoxy) and other false dharmas.
4. Praise of the Go-vrat (killing of animals) and other false vrats.
5. Praise of the Bhoomidan (land donation) and other false dans.
6. Praise of the 363 forms of Pakhand (heresy) and other wrong paths.
Praising these leads to the strengthening of Mithyatva (false belief) and Mithya-pravritti (false conduct). It diminishes the impact of the Jina's teachings. It also leads to the degradation of the sadhu (monk) as people will perceive him as a flatterer who praises everyone's beliefs.
Therefore, if a monk praises the beliefs of a Kutirthika (non-Jain) in front of them, or praises the main tenets or the main propagator of another religion, he incurs the Guru-chaumasi pratyachit (penance).
The word "Mukhavarna" in the sutra means "to praise what is in front of you". Praising someone in their presence is considered flattery and also attracts the sin of Maya (illusion) and Asatyavachan (false speech) due to the utterance of false qualities. This leads to the Guru-chaumasi pratyachit. Previous sutras have mentioned the pratyachit for Asat-bhayabhitakaran (falsely frightening), Vismitakaran (falsely astonishing), and Viparyasakaran (falsely confusing). Therefore, it is more appropriate to understand that this sutra refers to the pratyachit for excessively praising someone in their presence (false praise).
The Bhashya (commentary) discusses the praise of other religions and their main tenets in the presence of their followers, rather than the praise of "Bhavamukha" (the one who is present). The essence of this discussion is given above.
## Pratichit for travelling to a hostile kingdom
70. A monk who travels to, comes from, or travels to and from a hostile kingdom, or approves of someone doing so, incurs the Guru-chaumasi pratyachit.
**Explanation:**
Travelling from one hostile kingdom to another is "Gaman". Returning from there is "Aagaman". Travelling to and from repeatedly is "Gamanagaman". Alternatively, "Gaman" can be understood as travelling in relation to the Prajnapak (the one who gives instructions), and "Aagaman" as travelling in relation to another place.
If there is hostility between two kings and there is a restriction on entering the territory of one kingdom from the other, then a monk should not go there. If it is absolutely necessary to go there, then going or coming once does not incur the pratyachit mentioned in the sutra. However, repeated travelling to and fro has the potential for many faults, hence the pratyachit is prescribed for it.
The Brihatkalpasutra Uddeshak 1 prohibits this and states that such a person violates both the commands of the Bhagavan (the Jina) and the king.
