## First Study: Samayik [13]
What is not to be done, is the form of inattentive-distracted mind, is the form of ill-conceived-angry mind, is not to be acted upon, is not to be desired, in short, is completely opposite to virtuous conduct - is not to be done by the virtuous.
The three Gutis (internal organs) that are conducive to restraint, the cessation of the four passions, the five great vows, the protection of the six earth bodies, water bodies, etc., the seven types of bodily pain (1. Unsoiled, 2. Soiled, 3. Extracted, 4. Lightly covered, 5. Not taken, 6. Taken, 7. Abandoned Dharma), the eight teachings of the mother (five committees, three Gutis), the nine vows of celibacy, the ten duties of a Shraman (duties related to a Shraman) - if these are broken or violated, then all that sin shall be nullified for me.
**Discussion:**
Man is the link between gods and demons. He can attain godhood through his virtuous conduct and can also fall to the lower level of demons through his unvirtuous conduct. Man has three great powers - mind, speech, and body. By the strength of these powers, he can create any kind of life, whether prosperous or unprosperous. Saints and sages should be mindful of the good and bad actions of their mind, speech, and body at every step. Even a little carelessness in this matter can lead to a terrible downfall. The text of this Pratikraman Sutra cleanses the mistakes made day and night through these three powers-yogas and creates a strong determination to be careful in the future. This is the initial sutra of Pratikraman. It briefly performs Pratikraman for mistakes related to conduct and thoughts.
**Explanation of some technical terms:**
* **'Ussutto'**: The Sanskrit form of 'Ussutto' is 'Utsutra'. The meaning of Utsutra is - Sutra, i.e., conduct contrary to the Agamas.
* **'Ummago'**: The form of 'Ummago' is 'Unmarg', i.e., transgression of the state of pacification of passions and entering into the state of arising passions is 'Unmarg'. When the Karmic covering of conduct is pacified, then conduct arises, and when the Karmic covering of conduct arises, then conduct is destroyed. Therefore, the seeker should constantly move in the state of arising: pacification of passions. The meaning of 'Marg' is also tradition.
* **'Akkapo'**: The Dharma-business in the form of conduct and action, i.e., conduct, is called 'Kalpa'. To act against conduct and action is 'Akkapo'.
* **'Sue'**: The meaning of 'Shruta' is Shruta-knowledge. The Agama literature is called 'Shruta' because it is heard from the mouth of the liberated Tirthankara Bhagwan. Before being written down, the Agamas were received only through the Shruti tradition, i.e., the Guru would give the Agamas to his disciple, and the disciple would give them to his disciple orally. Therefore,
