The Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra, those who practice the rules of pravrajya-diksha, perform austerities for two days, three days, four days, and five days. Ultimately, they perform austerities for a month. Despite this, if they are unable to destroy their inner kshaya-krodha, mana, maya, and lobha, if they are unable to conquer them, then they cannot attain moksha. The scriptures reveal that:
Those beings who are attached to maya, etc., in this world, continue to be born in the womb for an infinite period of time. They continue to experience birth and death. Here, maya also signifies other kshayas. The meaning is that a person who is akinchana - who has nothing in terms of possessions, whose body is purified by austerities, but if they are unable to conquer kshayas - if they are unable to abandon anger, etc., then they suffer the torments and pains of hell, etc. From there, they go to the animal realm. Again, they repeatedly experience the womb and die. Just as the person named Agnisharma had to wander in this world in this way, so too do these individuals have to wander in this world.

**Chhaya - Purusha! Uparam pap karmaana, palyantam manujaanaam jivitam.**
**_ Sanna iha kamam urcchitaah moham yanti nara asanvrtaaah_**
**Anuvaad -** O man! Do not be engaged in evil deeds, abandon them. Understand! The life of humans is finite or mortal. Those humans who are attached to worldly pleasures and desires in this world, and are unconscious and lost, and are not free from evil deeds like violence, etc., they attain moha. They become deluded.

**Teekaarth -** The scriptures reveal that the austerities prescribed by those with false vision do not prevent the path to hell. Therefore, one should remain steadfast in the path that we have described. Revealing this truth, they say:
O man! Abandon the evil deeds in which you are constantly engaged, and free yourself from the sinful karma that you have accumulated. For even if the life of humans is very long, it does not exceed three palyopamas. The life of humans...
