## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra with Commentary - Conclusion of the Previously Mentioned Matters
The commentator states that the text now concludes the previously mentioned matters.
According to the scriptural method, there are ten types of Samachari for the wandering Sadhu, which are as sharp and difficult to bear as the edge of a sword. These are described by terms like "Iccha Miccha" and are called Bhikṣu-caryā. To follow this Bhikṣu-caryā, the Guru and others constantly encourage the Sadhu. Or, seeing the Sadhu struggling to follow this Bhikṣu-caryā, the Acharya and others repeatedly encourage them. However, some Sadhus, even after receiving such encouragement, find themselves unable to bear this hardship. Unable to properly sustain their lives by following the restraints, ignorant men become slack in their observance of these restraints, which were attained after countless births and are the primary means of attaining liberation. These dull and ignorant men abandon this restraint, which is like the Cintamani jewel, an inconceivable and powerful force, and which great men have practiced.
An example is given: The high part of a path is called "Udyanam". Just as oxen, burdened with heavy loads and weak, become exhausted while ascending this high path and lower their necks, unable to bear the burden they carry, so too, these ignorant men, unable to bear the burden of the five great vows they have accepted, become disheartened and abandon the restraint, being overcome by the emotions previously described, such as lust and greed.
**Verse 21:**
"Achayanta va loohenam, avahaanenam tajia. Tattha mandaa viseeyanti, ujaansi jaraggava."
**Commentary:**
"Rukṣeṇa" - unable to sustain themselves by the restraint, "Upadhānena" - being threatened by fasting and other internal and external austerities, "Tarjitā" - afflicted, these dull men become disheartened in their restraint. "Udyanaśirasi" - on the high peak, "Jīrṇa" - like an old ox, even a young ox might become exhausted there, let alone an old one. This is why the word "Jīrṇa" is used. Even a wise man with strong determination might become exhausted after a long time, let alone these dull men who are constantly being tempted.
