## Time-Sara-Adhikar 10.
**335**
**933.** What will knowledge gained from many scriptures do for one who is ignorant and devoid of good conduct? Just as a lamp in the hands of a blind man, so too is knowledge for such a person.
**Meaning:** A person who is devoid of good conduct and lacks any use for it, even if they have read many scriptures, will not benefit from that knowledge. Just like a lamp in the hands of a blind person, their knowledge will not be effective.
**934.** The one who is involved in *Adha-karma* (negative karma) is said to be a binder even in the case of *Prasook* (pure) substances. The one who seeks purity is pure even in the case of *Adha-karma*.
**Meaning:** Even if a person consumes *Prasook* substances, if they are involved in *Adha-karma*, they are considered a binder according to the scriptures. However, the one who seeks purity and consumes pure food is purified by the result of their *Adha-karma*.
**935.** The origin of *Bhavas* (emotions) is of two types: *Prashasta* (auspicious) and *Aprashasta* (inauspicious). In the case of pure substances, the presence of impure *Bhavas* leads to *Upasthapan* (atonement).
**Meaning:** There are two types of emotional defilements: auspicious and inauspicious. When a person experiences inauspicious emotions towards pure substances, they need to perform *Upasthapan* (atonement).
**936.** Giving and receiving *Prasook* substances, both are considered *Prasook* and are a means of self-purification. The one who gives and the one who receives both attain great merit.
**Meaning:** Both giving and receiving *Prasook* substances are considered pure and contribute to self-purification. Both the giver and the receiver attain great merit.
