## Ratnakaranda Shravakaachara - I

This Agama is the word of the Aapta, which clearly explains the truth. Those who have faith in it, their faith is indeed established. What kind of faith is this? It is faith in the "Paramartha" - the ultimate truth, not in something imagined like a fabricated opinion. What kind of faith is it? It is "Asmaya" - free from the eight types of doubts, such as knowledge-pride, which will be explained later. What else is it? It is "Trimudhaport" - free from the three types of ignorance, which will be explained later. It is "Ashtaanga" - having eight limbs, such as unshakeable conviction, which will be explained later. || 4 ||

Here, explaining the nature of the Aapta, as mentioned in the context of right vision, the text says:

One must be an Aapta, free from all faults, omniscient, and the master of the Agama. There is no other way to be an Aapta. || 5 ||

"Aapta" - one must be an Aapta, "niyogena" - with certainty, or by rule. What kind of Aapta? "Utsannadoshena" - free from all faults. Also, "Sarvajnena" - one must be omniscient, having complete and clear knowledge of all things, by rule. Also, "Agameshina" - one must be the master of the Agama, the one who reveals the truth about what is to be avoided and what is to be pursued for the benefit of those who are to be liberated, by rule. Why is this so? The text says - "Nanyatha hyapta ta bhavet" - "hi" - because, otherwise, in the way mentioned earlier, Aaptahood would not be possible. || 5 ||

Then, wondering what those faults are, which are absent in the Aapta, the text says:

Hunger, thirst, old age, fear, birth, death, fear of the unseen, and delusion - the Aapta is free from all these. || 6 ||

"Kshutch" - hunger. "Pipasa" - thirst. "Jara" - old age. "Atanka" - fear. "Janma" - birth, arising from karma in the four realms of existence. "Antaka" - death. "Bhayam" - fear, characterized by the fear of the unseen, the fear of death, the fear of pain, and the fear of the unexpected. "Smaya" - delusion, arising from caste and family...

1. The text in the book reads "Na vidyate smaya vaksya mana yatra iti adi patha kha - pustake".
2. "Kambhbutam" - what kind of.
3. "Chhi" - another reading.
4. "Niyogena" - by rule.
