Secondly, the appointment of the second Bhadrabahu, which is mentioned in the Dasha-Shruta-Skandha and dates back to the sixth century BCE, provides an explanation for the terms used in the text. Muni Shri Punyavijayaji believes that the commentary on the Dasha-Shruta-Skandha is approximately sixteen hundred years old. The first sutra of the Kalpa Sutra states, "Teṇam kāleṇam teṇam samaeṇam samaṇo bhagavā mahāvīre.............." and the last sutra states, "..............bhujjo bhujjo uvadamsei." The same text is found in the eighth uddeśaka [chapter] of the Dasha-Shruta-Skandha. Here, the remaining text has been abbreviated under the word "jav." The text currently available only describes the Panch Kalyanak, which has no connection to the Paryushana Kalpa. Therefore, it is clear that the Paryushana Kalpa was the complete Kalpa Sutra in this study. The authors of both the Kalpa Sutra and the Dasha-Shruta-Skandha are Bhadrabahu. Therefore, since both are works of the same author, it can be said that the Kalpa Sutra is a textual study of the Dasha-Shruta-Skandha. This is clearly evidenced by the commentary, churni, Prithvichandatippan, and other commentaries on the Kalpa Sutra. The ninth uddeśaka describes 30 maha-mohaniya (greatly deluding) places. The pudgala karmas (karmic particles) that bind the soul are called karmas. Mohaniya karma (deluding karma) is the most prominent among them. There is no limit to the causes of mohaniya karma bandha (binding of deluding karma), but the scriptural authors have mentioned thirty types of causes that lead to mohaniya karma bandha. Among them, the intensity and cruelty of durdhyavasa (stubbornness) are so great that sometimes maha-mohaniya karma is bound, causing the soul to wander in the world for 70 koṭi-koṭi sāgaropam (billions of billions of oceans). Acharya Haribhadra and Jinadasagani use only the word mohaniya. The Uttaradhyayanasutra, Samavayangasutra, and Dasha-Shruta-Skandha also refer to mohaniya sthana (deluding places). However, the word "mahamoham pakuvvai" (greatly deluding) is used in the description of the types. These places include drowning living beings in water, killing them by suffocating them, killing them by tying wet leather on their heads, engaging in illicit sex in secret, falsely accusing someone, claiming to be a celibate even though one is not, criticizing a Kevalajnani (omniscient), claiming to be a scholar even though one is not, practicing magic, repeatedly using sexually suggestive language, etc. The tenth uddeśaka is called "Ayati Sthana" (Place of Effort). It describes various nidanas (causes). Nidana means the resolution that arises from the desire for fulfillment due to the influence of delusion, which leads to the desire for objects like lust, etc. When desires arise in the human mind due to the strong influence of delusion, he makes a firm resolution to fulfill them. This particular resolution is nidana. Due to nidana, human desires continue to exist even in the future, preventing him from being liberated from the cycle of birth and death. From the perspective of future birth and death, this uddeśaka is called Prayati Sthana (Place of Effort). Prayati means birth or caste. It is considered Ayati Sthana because it is the cause of nidana. In other words, if "ti" is separated from Ayati, "pay" remains. Pray means benefit. The nidana that benefits birth and death is called Ayati. This chapter describes how Bhagavan Mahavira arrived in Rajagaha. King Shrenik and Queen Chelna arrived to pay their respects to the Bhagavan. Seeing the divine and magnificent form and great prosperity of King Shrenik, the Shramanas began to think, "Shrenik appears to be like a god himself. If we also have the fruits of our austerities, rules, and restraint, then we too can 1. Tisan moha-thanai-abhikkhanam-abhikkhanam ayaremane va samaayaremane va mohanijjatae kammam pakarei.
