श्री सूत्रकृताङ्ग सूत्रम् उपधानं तपस्तत्र वीर्य्यं यस्य स तथा अनिगूहित बलवीर्य्य इत्यर्थः तथा मनोवाक्कायगुप्तः सुप्रणिहितयोग इत्यर्थः तथा युक्तो ज्ञानादिभिः सदा सर्वकालं यतेताऽऽत्यनि परस्मिंश्च । किंविशिष्टः सन् ? अत आह परम् उत्कृष्ट आयतो दीर्घः सर्वकालभवनान्मोक्षः तेनार्थिकः तदभिलाषी पूर्वोक्त विशेषणविशिष्टो भवेदिति ॥१५॥
टीकार्थ - साधु हेय - त्यागने योग्य उपादेय स्वीकार करने योग्य पदार्थों को जानकर सर्वसंवर रूप धर्म मार्ग को ग्रहण करे, जो सर्वज्ञों द्वारा उपदिष्ट है। वह धर्म को ही अपने जीवन का प्रयोजन- ध्येय समझे अथवा वह धर्म को ही एकमात्र अर्थ-जीवन के लिये वास्तविक पदार्थ समझे क्योंकि धर्म के अतिरिक्त अन्य सभी अनर्थ है-आत्मा के लिये अप्रयोजन भूत है । उपधान तप का नाम है । साधु उसमें अपना पराक्रम कम न करे - उसमें अधिकाधिक आत्म पुरुषार्थ का उपयोग करे । वह मन, वचन और शरीर से गुप्तियुक्त रहे । दूसरे शब्दों में सुप्रणिहित योग- अपने मानसिक, कायिक, वाचिक योगों को असत् से निवृत्त तथा सत् में प्रवृत्त बनाये रखे । वह ज्ञानादि से युक्त होता हुआ सदैव स्वपर कल्याण में यत्नशील रहे। प्रश्न उपस्थित करते हुए आगे कहते हैं कि वह कैसा होकर यह करे ? जो सबसे दीर्घ है उसे परमायत कहा जाता है तथा जो सब काल में अवस्थित रहता है वह परमायत है, वह मोक्ष हैं, साधु सदा मोक्षाभिलाषी रहता हुआ इन इन विशेषताओं से जुड़ा रहे जिनका पहले उल्लेख हुआ है ।
वित्तं पसवो य नाइओ तं बाले सरणं ति मन्नइ ।
एते मम तेसुवी अहं नो ताणं सरणं न विज्जई ॥ १६ ॥

वित्तं पशवंश्च ज्ञातयस्तद् बालः शरण मिति मन्यते । एते मम तेष्वप्यहं नो त्राणं शरणं न विद्यते ॥

The Sutra of the Sri Sutra Kritanga is the topic. The one who has strength in austerity is called "Ani-guhit Balaviryya" which means "unconcealed strength". The one who is guarded in mind, speech, and body is called "Supranihit Yoga" which means "well-directed yoga". The one who is united with knowledge and the like, should always strive for the highest good, both for oneself and others. What is the special characteristic of such a person? Therefore, it is said that the highest, the most excellent, the long, the eternal liberation is the goal. Therefore, the one who desires this goal should be endowed with the aforementioned special characteristics. ||15||

Commentary: A virtuous person should know the objects that are worthy of renunciation and acceptance, and should embrace the path of Dharma, which is in the form of complete restraint, as taught by the omniscient ones. He should consider Dharma as the purpose and goal of his life, or he should consider Dharma as the only real substance for life, because everything else besides Dharma is harmful and useless for the soul. "Upadhana" is the name of austerity. A virtuous person should not diminish his strength in it, but should use his self-effort to the fullest extent. He should be guarded in mind, speech, and body. In other words, he should maintain his mental, physical, and verbal yogas free from the non-virtuous and directed towards the virtuous. He should always strive for the welfare of himself and others, being united with knowledge and the like. Asking a question, it is further said, "How should he do this?" The one who is the longest is called "Parmayat", and the one who is present in all times is called "Parmayat". That is liberation. A virtuous person should always desire liberation and be connected with these characteristics, which have been mentioned before.

Wealth, livestock, and relatives, the ignorant person considers them as his refuge. He thinks that these will protect him from suffering, that they will protect me, and I will protect them. But the reality is that they cannot protect him.

Wealth, livestock, and relatives, the ignorant person considers them as his refuge. These cannot protect me, nor is there any refuge in them.

Commentary: Again, another teaching is given: "Wealth" refers to money, grain, gold, etc. "Livestock" refers to elephants, horses, cows, buffaloes, etc. "Relatives" refers to one's own people, such as parents, children, spouses, etc. The ignorant person considers this wealth, livestock, and relatives as his refuge. This is what is shown: "My wealth, livestock, and relatives will be used for enjoyment. I will be in them through earning, maintaining, protecting, and resolving problems." Thus, the ignorant person thinks, but he does not know that the purpose for which he desires wealth is his body, which is perishable. Moreover, "Wealth, along with its attendants, is perishable, subject to disease, old age, and decay. What is the connection of a perishable body with wealth, which is also perishable?" Similarly,

"Thousands of parents, hundreds of sons and daughters,
They come and go in every birth,
Who is the mother or father, even?"

This is what is said: Wealth, etc., cannot protect in the world in any way. It does not protect from hell, nor is there any refuge for the one who is afflicted by attachment, etc. ||16||

Commentary:
Wealth, grain, gold, and silver are called "Vitt". Elephants, horses, cows, buffaloes, etc. are called "Pashu". Parents, children, spouses, etc. are called "Jnati". The ignorant creature considers this wealth, grain, etc.
