One should not deviate from the path. Understanding the reasons behind the deranged state of a nirgranthi, the text discusses the arrangements for their care and the rules and prohibitions regarding their treatment, etc. / For Shramanas, six types of Parimanu Vyadhat are considered - (1) Kautkucit (2) Moukharik (3) Chakshulol (4) Titinik (5) Ichchalom (6) Bhijjanidanakaran - their nature, faults, exceptions, etc. are contemplated. _ In Kalpasthiti Prakrut, six types of Kalpasthitis are discussed - (1) Samayikkalpasthiti, (2) Chhedopasthanayakalpasthiti, (3) Nivishmanakalpasthiti, (4) Nivishtakayikakalpasthiti, (5) Jinkalpasthiti, (6) Stavirakalpasthiti. Chhedopasthanayakalpasthiti has ten Kalpas - Achelky, Prauddeshik, etc. Its possessors and non-possessors are also contemplated. In this commentary, there are scattered Subhashitas, such as "O humans! Be ever vigilant, the intellect of a vigilant human develops, he who is awake is always blessed." "Jagarah Nara Nicham, Jagaramanasas Badhate Buddhi / So Suvati // So Dhanam, Jo Jagati So Saya Dhanno //" "Character and modesty are the ornaments of a woman. A woman's body cannot be adorned with ornaments like necklaces, etc. Her ornament is only character and modesty." "In a gathering, speech devoid of good conduct and improper is not considered praiseworthy." Thus, this commentary presents a very subtle analysis of the conduct and thoughts of Shramanas from a logical perspective. It also sheds considerable light on the social, cultural, religious, and political conditions of that era. There is beautiful analysis from a psychological perspective in many places. This 'Grantharatna' has an unparalleled and unique place not only in the history of Jain literature but also in Indian literature. Brihatkalpachurni is the primary source and Laghubhashya of this Churni. / The initial part of Dasashrutaskandhachurni and Brihatkalpachurni is almost similar. Linguists believe that Dasashrutaskandhani is older than Brihatkalpachurni. It is possible that both these Churnis belong to the same Acharya. This Churni has a preface and six Uddeshak. / In the beginning, the nature of knowledge is contemplated. / While stating that Abhidhan and Abhidhey are sometimes different and sometimes the same, six synonyms for the word 'Vriksh' are given in different languages. What is called 'Vriksh' in Sanskrit is called 'Rukkh' in Prakrit, 'Prodan' in Magadhi, 'Kar' in Lat, 'Chor' in Tamil, and 'Idaku' in Andhra. The Churni mentions texts like Tattvarthadhigama, Visheshavashyakabhashya, Karmaprakriti, Mahakala, Govindaniyanti, etc. The language is Sanskrit-mixed Prakrit. The name of the author is not mentioned in the Churni from beginning to end.
