## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra
**Verse:**
The one who has transcended Dharma, who is free from the beginning of violence, is truly a Muni. Those who are attached to possessions, who yearn for wealth, are filled with sorrow, yet they cannot obtain their possessions.
**Commentary:**
One who has transcended Dharma, who is knowledgeable about the principles of Dharma, who follows the path of Dharma, who is free from the beginning of violence, is truly a Muni. Those who are not like this, who do not practice Dharma, are filled with sorrow when they face death or suffering. This verse uses the word "ṇam" as a figure of speech. Those who are attached to possessions, who think "this is mine," "I am the owner of this," are filled with sorrow when they lose their possessions, whether through death or destruction. Even though they grieve, they cannot obtain their lost possessions. Possessions are those things that are brought under one's control, made one's own, or taken. Gold and other valuables, as well as family members, are considered possessions. When gold is lost or family members die, they cannot be obtained. Or, when a Muni, who has transcended Dharma, who is free from the beginning of violence, is approached by his family members, they grieve, showing their attachment. They consider the Muni to be their possession, but they cannot obtain him.
**Shadow Verse:**
The wise person does not dwell in a house, for worldly suffering is painful, and the suffering of the afterlife is also painful. This Dharma, which leads to destruction, is painful.
