The first Shruta Skandha of the Acharyaanga Sutra describes the teachings that encourage steadfastness in restraint, detachment and faith, as well as the ideas of Parishhajay, etc. Brahmacharya is a synonym for restraint or it is the main part of restraint. Therefore, the first Shruta Skandha is known as "Nav Bhamcheer". One country takes the whole. Therefore, Churnikar has said - "Nav Bhamcheer Gahnen Samvo Ayaroo Gahito Ahva Savvo Charananuogo" i.e. from the statement of Nav-Brahmacharya, the entire Acharyaanga Sutra or the entire Charananuyog (the science of conduct) should be taken.
The reference to the Chhedasutra and Drishtivad Sutra from "Uttamashrut" is made in the Bhashya Ga. 6184.
The Chhedasutras are called "Uttamashrut" because they describe the Utsarga, Apavad Kalpas, as well as the Pratikshetra and Sangha system.
Drishtivad is also called Uttamashrut because it describes the four Anuyogs and the subtle description of substances from Nay and Praman, etc., and because it is very vast.
The meaning of the 17th Sutra is that when a monk with special qualifications becomes steadfast in the knowledge and practice of the principles of restraint, he is given the reading of "Uttamashrut".
Or, we can also understand that the 17th Sutra is an exception to the 16th Sutra, because in the 17th Sutra, the word "Uttmasuyam" is often found in all the copies as "Uvarimsuyam".
From this perspective, the combined meaning of both the Sutras is that if any Sutra, etc., is read in reverse order, then Pratikshetra arises, but if it is absolutely necessary to read the later Sutras due to special reasons, then at least the first Shruta Skandha of the Acharyaanga Sutra should be studied and Pratikshetra arises even if the later Sutras are read without studying it.
In this exceptional situation, there may be many reasons like lack of time for the Sutra-arth-vicched or the reader, etc. But if any order is violated without any exceptional circumstances, the reader incurs Pratikshetra. The defects in reading in reverse order are:
1. Not understanding the later subject without understanding the previous subject, 2. The opposite result of Utsarga-Apavad, 3. Not studying the previous subject after studying the later subject, 4. Being called Bahushrut, etc., without full qualification, etc. Therefore, all the Sutras should be read in the order prescribed by the Agamas.
In these Sutras and in many other Sutras that will be found later, Pratikshetra has been mentioned for the reader, but there is no provision for Pratikshetra for the listener. The reason for this is that it is the responsibility of the reader to decide who should be given what reading?
The word "vachana" has been used in the Sutras to refer to the study of the meaning, and the words "uddesha, samuddesha" have been used to refer to the study of the original Agama. But here
