[Fifth Objective] _ In these sutra-statements of three and five, the importance of the _Pracharprakalpa_ is explained. Keeping this in mind and considering it, if a decision is made about its creation, it is easily decided that the author of this _Vyavaharsutra_, _Sthavir_ Bhadrabahu Swami, or some _Sthavir_ after him, did not create the 'Pracharprakalpa', but it is _Ganadhar_ created and from the beginning, it is a scripture that all the _sadhu-sadhvi_ of the _Jinshasan_ have to study. / Currently, this scripture is indicative of both _Acharang_ + _Nishit_ sutras. The _niyuktikar_ of _Dashashrutskandh_ has, in the first verse of the _niyukti_, honored _Sthavir_ Shri Pratham Bhadrabahu Swami, saluting him and calling him 'the creator of the three _chedasutras_ ( _Dashashrutskandh_, _Brihatkalp_ and _Vyavaharsutra_)'. And Shri Bhadrabahu Swami, in this _Vyavaharsutra_ composed by him ( _nirydh_), has directed the _Pracharprakalpa_ sixteen times, making many kinds of provisions. Even though this is so clear, due to historical misconceptions, present-day historians present their doubtful views about the author of this sutra and his time, which is a matter of great regret. The provisions of the _Vyavaharsutra_ related to _Pracharprakalpa_ make it clear that it is absolutely essential for every _sadhu-sadhvi_ to memorize the _Acharang-Nishit_ sutra with its meaning and purpose, and it is also necessary to keep it memorized through _swadhyay_ etc. / Any _shraman_ or _shramani_ who is not capable of studying it, or does not study it, or after studying it, forgets it by not doing _swadhyay_, they are the _shraman_ or _shramani_ who are ineligible to take any position in the _Jinshasan_ or to hold a previously held position, i.e. they cannot be given any position and if they are already in a position, they are removed from the position. They do not have the right to wander even as _singhadarapramukh_, and they cannot do any kind of _ganavyutsarg_ sadhana, i.e. _ekalvihar_, _sanbhog-pratyakhyan_ etc. sadhanas. The monk who holds the _Pracharprakalpa_ is called _jghanya geetarth_ or _jghanya bahushrat_. He alone is worthy of independent wandering or _gochari_. The use of materials obtained from the investigation of _abahu-shrut_ or _agi-tath_ is also prohibited in _bhap_ and _prayashchit_ is said. Currently, it is _agam_ -compliant to believe that the knowledge of the _purva_ is broken, but it cannot be said that the other sutras are broken. / Therefore, it is completely inappropriate to believe that the conduct of these _Vyavaharsutra_ -stated provisions is broken based on the area or time. / Because if the many young _shraman-shramani_ who are being initiated today get qualified teachers, they can definitely memorize this much study in three years. But it is with great regret that I have to say that due to indifference in the field of study, out of the approximately ten thousand (10,000) Jain _sadhu-sadhvi_ currently present, not even ten _sadhu-sadhvi_ are holding this _Pracharprakalpa_ memorized with its meaning. Still, there are many _prachar_ , _upaadhyay_ in society, and many are eager to get positions. There are also many _sadhu-sadhvi_ who wander as _singhadarapramukh_, and they also consider themselves to be wandering according to _pagman_. / But according to _agam_, how is the arrangement of study, wandering and positions of the _gachch_
