English Translation (preserving Jain terms):
The Shri Sutrakritanga Sutra - Translation - The sin-afflicted person who is tormented by sins endures the cutting off of their ears, nose, and throat, i.e., their ears, nose, and throat are cut off. But they do not resolve in their mind that they will not commit such sinful acts in the future.
Commentary - They "endure" (titikshante) the cutting off of the ears, nose, and throat due to their own faults, i.e., they suffer such diverse torments. In this very human birth, they experience sufferings beyond hell due to their sinful actions, but they do not resolve that "I will not perform such an act again." Thus, they accept the worldly and other-worldly suffering and torment, but do not desist from committing sinful and evil deeds.
Moreover, "It is heard (shrutam) that the nature of women is very bad," as it is said. Even after saying this, they (women) either do not do or do the opposite of what is said.
Commentary - "It is heard" (shrutam) means what has been obtained from the teacher or from the people, that is, what has been previously described, such as: the mind of women is difficult to understand, the result of association with women is dreadful, women are of an unstable nature, difficult to manage, short-sighted, naturally light, and self-conceited. This is how "the nature of women is known" (strivedo) through the traditional stories or the scriptures that reveal the true nature and the consequences of association with women.
As it is said, "The heart of women is as difficult to grasp as their speech, and their nature is as uneven as the path of a mountain. The mind of women does not stay in one place, like the water on a lotus leaf, and they are nourished by various vices, like creepers by poisonous substances." Moreover, "They are well-conquered, well-loved, well-conquered, well-loved, well-conquered, and well-obtained. But in the case of women who are difficult, there should be no trust."
