श्री सूत्रकृताङ्गसूत्रम् । गौशालक मतवादी विनय द्वारा ही मोक्ष प्राप्त होना मानते हैं । वे विनय के साथ विचरण करते हैं, इसलिए वैनयिक कहलाते हैं । अज्ञान ही इस लोक और परलोक सिद्धि हेतु पर्याप्त है । उसी से उनकी सिद्धि हो जाती है । यह अज्ञानवादियों का सिद्धान्त है। भगवान महावीर इन सभी मतवादियों के सिद्धान्तों को भलीभांति समझकर तथा बौद्ध आदि अन्य मतों को भी जानकर एवं प्राणियों को उन सबसे अवगत कराकर संयम के सम्यक् परिपालन में निरत रहे। वे अन्य मतवादियों की तरह नहीं थे । वीतराग प्रभु का संस्तवन करते हुये एक जैनाचार्य कहते हैं-प्रभो ! अन्य मतवादियों में जो वक्तृत्व दोष हैं-बोलने में-विवेचन करने में दोष हैं वे आप में नहीं हैं । वे शास्त्रों की रचना करके भी लघुता को ही प्राप्त हुए क्योंकि वे तथा उनके शिष्य जो दूसरों को उपदेश देते हैं, स्वयं अपने सिद्धान्तों के अनुसार आचरण नहीं करते हैं । किन्तु आप जीवन भर संयम के परिपालन में निरत रहे ।

The Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra. The followers of the Goshala school believe that liberation is attained only through conduct. They conduct themselves with restraint, hence they are called Vainyaikas. Ignorance is sufficient for the attainment of this world and the next. It is through ignorance that their attainment is achieved. This is the principle of the ignorant. Lord Mahavira, understanding the principles of all these schools of thought, and knowing the Buddhist and other schools as well, and making beings aware of them, remained engaged in the proper observance of restraint. He was not like other schools of thought. A Jain Acharya, praising the Lord who is free from passions, says: "O Lord! The defects of eloquence that are present in other schools of thought - defects in speaking, defects in reasoning - are not present in you. Even though they created scriptures, they only attained smallness, because they and their disciples, who preach to others, do not themselves act according to their own principles. But you remained engaged in the observance of restraint throughout your life."

"He, having renounced women and night meals, was devoted to the destruction of suffering. Knowing this world and the next, the Lord renounced all sins at all times." ||28||

Commentary: The Lord, having renounced - what is that? - "Women" means sexual intercourse with women, "night meals" means living with night meals, this is an indication, and other things like the prohibition of killing living beings should also be understood. And "devoted to austerity" - he who is devoted to austerity - whose body is burnt by austerity, why? - the commentator shows: "suffering" means suffering - the eight kinds of karma, their destruction - their disappearance, that is the meaning. And "knowing this world" - "this" means the world called this world, "the next" means the world called the next world, or "the other" - the human world, the other - hell, etc., knowing their nature and the causes of their attainment, the Lord "renounced all sins" - many times. This means that he himself observed the prohibition of killing living beings, etc., and established others in it. For he who is not established in himself cannot establish others. As it is said:

"Even if one speaks righteously, but acts contrary to one's own words, no one can subdue others who are not subdued themselves. Having firmly established this in your mind, O Lord, you have resolved to subdue yourself, who is not subdued." ||1||

And so on: "The Tirthankaras, the four great ones, are free from the bondage of the world. They shine everywhere, free from the power of ignorance." ||1|| etc. ||28||

Now, Sudharmaswami, the Tirthankara, tells his disciples about the qualities of the Tirthankaras.

Commentary: Lord Mahavira renounced women and night meals. This is merely an indication. It is implied that he also renounced other sins like killing living beings. He burnt his body with austerity. Why did he do this? The commentator explains. That which causes suffering to beings is called suffering. This refers to the eight kinds of karma. He did this to destroy them. He knew this world and the next, or he knew the nature of the human world and hell, etc., and the causes of their attainment, and he renounced all sins that are the root of them.
