[Third Objective] 8. If a monk who is about to take initiation is from a family that is fully accepting (of Jainism), then he can be given the Acharya and Upadhyaya positions on the same day of his initiation. The commentary explains this sutra by saying that if a person who was forcibly taken home by his family due to attachment or selfishness, and later gets initiated again, then he can be given the position on the same day. However, this interpretation is not in line with the meaning of the sutra. Because the sutra does not mention any qualities or achievements related to his previous initiation, but rather describes the complete religious devotion of his family. It is not appropriate to imagine that such virtuous family members would forcibly abduct someone out of attachment or selfishness. Therefore, the newly initiated monk from such a virtuous family is the one who is intended by the term "niruddha-paryaya".
The commentary explains the tenth sutra by saying that a monk who has had his initiation period cut short due to committing some kind of fault in his restraint, and is therefore not eligible for the position, can be given the position. However, this interpretation of the subject of the sutra does not seem appropriate either. Because it is not right to give the position to someone whose conduct has been broken by such faults that make him eligible for the termination of initiation. The sutra also mentions the incompleteness of his Acharya-prakalpa study. This also proves that it is referring to someone who has a short initiation period from a young age. Because it would not be appropriate or progressive to give the position to a dull-witted monk who has completed a long initiation period but whose Acharya-prakalpa study is not complete, and who has received atonement for the termination of initiation. In fact, such a person is completely ineligible for all positions according to the previous sutras. There is no exception for him in the sutra.
Therefore, the word "niruddha" used in these sutras should not be interpreted as "restriction" or "termination" of previous initiation, but rather as "short initiation period" and "very short restraint period", meaning that the position should be given on the first day of initiation. The word "niruddha" has been used in the Agamas in the sense of "short" or "very short". For example: 1. Sanniruddhammi Aue - This human being with a very short lifespan, 2. Niruddhayu - Short lifespan, 3. Niruddhabhavpavache Samsarabhraman - Whose worldly wandering has become short, 4. Niruddhavas - One who has a short restraint period than the required years. Words have many meanings, some are etymological, some are idiomatic. Sometimes the idiomatic meaning is relevant, sometimes the etymological meaning is relevant, and sometimes both or many meanings are relevant depending on the context. Therefore, the meaning of the sutra and the words should be interpreted in such a way that it is in line with the meaning of the sutra and does not contradict other Agamic provisions.
