**The Sutra of the Sri Sutra Kritanga**
Do not aspire to be bound by the fetters of the pāśa (bondage). If adverse and unpleasant afflictions arise, do not desire life. Face them by risking your life. Do not desire to live a worldly life while following unrighteous karma. How? By hearing what? It is said that one should do so by hearing the supreme dharma, the dharma rooted in right knowledge (śruta-samyak-jñāna) and right conduct (cāritra-samyak-ācāra), which is spoken by the Tīrthankaras.
**Verse 14**
*Ahiṃe santi āvaṭṭā, kāsaveṇaṃ paveiyā. Buddā jattāvasappanti, sīyanti abuha jahiṃ.*
**Translation**
These are the āvartas (cycles) that have been explained by the Kāśyapa (Śramaṇa Bhagavan Mahāvīra). The enlightened ones (buddhas) stay away from them, while the unenlightened ones (abuḍḍha) fall into them.
**Commentary**
The word "athe" indicates the beginning of a new section. Alternatively, the word "aho" can be used, which signifies wonder or surprise. The word "ime" indicates that these āvartas are well-known and readily apparent. There are two types of āvartas: dravyāvarta and bhāvāvarta. The whirlpools of rivers, etc., are dravyāvarta. The desire for wealth and possessions, which arises from the intense and overwhelming karmic influence, is bhāvāvarta. The Lord Mahāvīra, who possessed divine knowledge and omniscience, has explained the nature of āvartas. Those who are wise and understand the consequences of āvartas remain vigilant and stay away from them. However, the unenlightened ones, due to their lack of discernment, become attached to them and suffer greatly.
**Verse 15**
*Rāyaṇo rāya'macca ya, māhaṇā aduva khattiyā. Nimantiyaṃti bhogehiṃ, bhikkuyaṃ sāhujīviṇaṃ.*
**Translation**
Kings, ministers, Brahmins, and Kshatriyas invite the monks (bhikku) who live a virtuous life (sāhujīviṇa) with material pleasures (bhogehiṃ).
