**The Sutra Kritanga Sutra Commentary**
A wise and discerning person, having considered the arguments of these previous proponents, should understand that these proponents of the three categories of existence, and those who believe in the world being created by the gods, do not abide in true celibacy or in the practice of restraint.
This is because they hold the view that karma binds liberated beings through the praise, honor, and disregard of their own doctrines. However, the reality is that both praise and disregard of their doctrines are inevitable, and this inevitably leads to an increase in karma. An increase in karma leads to a lack of purification, and a lack of purification leads to a lack of liberation.
Liberated beings, who have shed all karmic stains, who have fulfilled their purpose, who have understood the true nature of all things, who are indifferent to praise and blame, and who have renounced all attachments, cannot be affected by attachment and aversion. Without attachment and aversion, how can there be karmic bondage? And without karmic bondage, how can liberated beings return to the cycle of existence?
Therefore, although these proponents of false doctrines may practice celibacy in a material sense, they are not truly engaged in the practice of restraint due to their lack of true knowledge.
All these proponents of false doctrines, driven by their attachment to their own views, proclaim their own doctrines as the best. But those who have truly understood the nature of reality should not have faith in these doctrines.
**Verse 14**
"In their own positions, there is no other attainment than liberation.
Indeed, here alone is one who is in control, who has surrendered all desires."
**Commentary**
This verse emphasizes that true liberation is the only goal worth pursuing, and that it can only be achieved through the practice of restraint and the renunciation of all desires.
