## Sixth Uddeshak [379 Agitārthas]
**4.** It is not appropriate for many *Agadsuyas* (those who have not memorized the *Achārāṅga* and *Nīśītha* sūtras with their meanings) to reside together in a single-walled, single-gated, single-entrance-exit *upaśraya* (monastery) in a village, town, or capital (or in a *sannīveśa*). If there is a *Prācārāprakalpadhara* (one who has received the *Prācārāprakalpa* vows) among them, they are not subject to *dīkṣāched* (loss of ordination) or *tapa* (penance) as a consequence. If there is no *Prācārāprakalpadhara* among them, they are subject to *dīkṣāched* or *tapa* as a consequence of violating this rule.
**5.** It is not appropriate for many *Agadsuyas* to reside together in a multi-walled, multi-gated, multi-entrance-exit *upaśraya* in a village, town, or capital (or in a *sannīveśa*). If a *Prācārāprakalpadhara* stays with them for three days, they are not subject to *dīkṣāched* or *tapa*. If a *Prācārāprakalpadhara* does not stay with them for three days, all of them are subject to *tapa* or *ched* as a consequence of violating this rule.
**Discussion:** In these sūtras, *Agadsuyas* are referred to as those who have not memorized the *Achārāṅga* and *Nīśītha* sūtras with their meanings. In other words, a *bhikṣu* who has not studied and memorized the necessary texts (such as *Uttara-adhyayana*, *Daśavaikālika*, *Achārāṅga*, and *Nīśītha* sūtras) to become qualified to lead others is called an *Agadsuya*. It is forbidden for one or more such *bhikṣus* to wander about, as stated in the first sūtra of the third *Uddeshak*.
