श्री सूत्रकृताङ्ग सूत्रम् स्नानाभ्यङ्गोद्वर्तनादिषु क्रियासु निष्प्रतिकर्मशरीरतयाऽन्यासु च चिकित्सादिक्रियासु न वर्तने, तथा स्त्रीषु च विरतः वस्तिनिरोधग्रहणात् अन्येऽप्याश्रवा गृह्यन्ते, यश्चैवम्भूतः सर्वेभ्योऽप्याश्रवद्वारेभ्यो विरतो नासौ कुशीलदोषैर्युज्यते तदयोगाच्च न संसारे बम्भ्रमीति, ततश्च न दुःखितः स्तनति नापि नानाविधैरपायैर्विलुप्यत इति ॥२२॥ पुनरपिकुशीलानेवाधिकृत्याह -
____टीकार्थ - जो पुरुष धीर-बुद्धि से राजित-शोभित होता है उसे धीर कहा जाता है । धीर का तात्पर्य बुद्धिमान से है । वैसा पुरुष जल के आरम्भ-हिंसा से कर्म बंधते हैं, यह जानकर क्या करे ? इस सम्बन्ध में शास्त्रकार प्रतिपादित करते हैं कि वह प्रासुक-अचित जल से अपना प्राण धारण करें-जीवन निर्वाह करें । यहाँ जो 'च' शब्द का प्रयोग हुआ है उससे यह सूचित है कि वह प्रासुक आहर से ही अपने प्राणों की रक्षा करे। संसार को आदि कहा जाता है । उससे मुक्त होना, छूटना आदि मोक्ष कहलाता है । वह जब तक प्राप्त न हो जाये तब तक साधु प्रासुक पदार्थों से जीवन निर्वाह करें। अथवा धर्म के कारण भूत इस देह का जब तक मोक्ष-समापन न हो जाये अर्थात् जीवनपर्यन्त साधु प्रासुक पदार्थों के द्वारा ही अपना निर्वाह करे । वह बीज एवं कन्द आदि का भी सेवन न करे । यहाँ आदि शब्द से मूल, फल निहित है । जो मूल पत्र एवं फल प्रासुक नहीं हैं उनका भी विरत-संयमी पुरुष परित्याग कर देते हैं । वे ऐसा किसलिए कर देते हैं ? सूत्रकार इसका दिग्दर्शन कराते हुए कहते हैं कि संयत पुरुष स्नान, शरीर के अंगों पर तेल मालिश, पिट्टी आदि का लेपन आदि क्रियाओं से पृथक् रहते हैं । शरीर की सज्जा नहीं करते । चिकित्सा आदि क्रियाओं द्वारा भी इसकी पूर्ति नहीं करते अब्रह्मचर्य-नारी भोग से निवृत रहते हैं । यहाँ वस्त्र निरोध से दूसरे आश्रव भी निहित होते हैं । जो पुरुष यों अपना जीवन व्यवतीत करता है, वह समस्त आश्रवों से निवृत्त है । वह कुशील-कुत्सित आचरण के दोषों से लिप्त नहीं होता । उनसे लिप्त न होने के कारण वह पुनः पुनः इस संसार में भ्रमण नहीं करता-भटकता नहीं, अतएव वह दुःखित होकर रोता नहीं तथा नाना प्रकार के दुःखों से उत्पिड़ित नहीं होता ।
पुनः कुशीलों को उद्दिष्ट कर कहते हैं ।
जे मायरं च पियरं च हिच्चा, गारं तहा पुत्तपसुं धणं च । कुलाई जे घावइ साउगाई, अहाहु से सामणियस्स दूरे ॥२३॥ छाया - यो मातरञ्च पित्तरञ्च हित्वाऽगारं तथा पुत्रपशून् धनञ्च ।
. कुलानि यो धावति स्वादुकानि, अथाहुः स श्रामण्यस्य दूरे ॥ ___ अनुवाद - जो पुरुष माता-पिता, गृह, पुत्र, पशु-गाय, भैंस, अश्व आदि पशु धन, धन-वैभव, सम्पत्ति का त्यागकर दीक्षा ग्रहण करता है किन्तु वैसा करके भी स्वादिष्ट भोजन की लोलुपता वश वैसे घरों में जहाँ सुस्वादं भोजन मिलना सम्भावित हो दौड़ता हुआ जाता है । वह श्रामण्य-साधुत्त्व से दूरवर्ती है, तीर्थंकरों ने ऐसा कहा है।
टीका - ये केचनापरिणतसम्यग्धर्माणस्त्यक्त्वा मातरं च पितरं च, मातापित्रोद॑स्त्यजत्वादुपादानं, अतो भ्रातृदुहित्रादिकमपित्यकत्वेत्येतदपि द्रष्टव्यं, तथा 'अगारं' गृहं 'पुत्रम्' अपत्यं 'पशुं' हस्त्यश्वरथगोमहिष्यादिकं धनं च त्यक्त्वा सम्यक् प्रव्रज्योत्थानेनोत्थाय-पञ्चमहाव्रतभारस्य स्कन्धं दत्त्वा पुनींनसत्त्वतया रससातादिगौरवगृद्धो यः 'कुलानि' गृहाणि 'स्वादुकानि' स्वादुभोजनवन्ति 'धावति' गच्छति, अथासौ 'श्रामण्यस्य' श्रमणभावस्य दूरे वर्तते एवमाहुस्तीर्थंकरगणधरादय इति ॥२३॥ एतदेव विशेषेण दर्शयितुमाह -(ग्रन्थाम्रम् ४७५०)

The Sutra-Kritanga Sutra states that those who engage in actions like bathing, anointing, and cleansing, or who engage in other actions like medical treatment, without a pure body, and those who are not celibate, are considered to be bound by the five types of karma. Even those who abstain from the five types of karma are still bound by other types of karma. However, those who are free from all types of karma are not affected by the five types of karma and are not bound by the cycle of birth and death. Therefore, they do not suffer and are not afflicted by various types of misfortunes. ||22||

Again, addressing those who are not free from the five types of karma, the text says:

Commentary: A person who is endowed with wisdom and fortitude is called a "Dheer." "Dheer" means wise. Knowing that consuming water that causes harm to living beings leads to the accumulation of karma, what should such a person do? The author of the text states that such a person should sustain their life by consuming water that is not harmful to living beings. The use of the word "cha" here indicates that they should only consume water that is not harmful to living beings. The world is called "Adi" (beginning). Liberation from the world is called "Moksha" (salvation). Until Moksha is attained, a virtuous person should sustain their life by consuming only those things that are not harmful to living beings. Or, until the end of this body, which is due to the power of Dharma, they should sustain their life by consuming only those things that are not harmful to living beings. They should not consume seeds, tubers, etc. The word "Adi" here includes roots and fruits. A virtuous person should abstain from consuming roots, leaves, and fruits that are not harmless to living beings. Why do they abstain from these things? The author of the text explains that a virtuous person refrains from bathing, anointing their body with oil, and applying lotions. They do not adorn their body. They do not engage in medical treatment, etc. They abstain from sexual intercourse with women. Here, the word "Vastra Nirodha" (abstinence from clothing) also implies other types of karma. A person who lives this way is free from all types of karma. They are not affected by the vices of "Kushila" (unwholesome conduct). Because they are not affected by these vices, they do not wander in the cycle of birth and death. Therefore, they do not suffer and are not afflicted by various types of misfortunes.

Again, addressing those who are not free from the five types of karma, the text says:

Those who abandon their mother, father, home, children, animals, and wealth, but who still run after delicious food in homes where such food is available, are far from the path of a "Shraman" (ascetic). ||23||

Commentary: Those who have attained perfect knowledge and have abandoned their mother, father, home, children, animals, and wealth, are considered to have abandoned their family. Therefore, it should be understood that they have also abandoned their brothers, sisters, etc. Similarly, "Aagar" (home) refers to the house, "Putra" (son) refers to offspring, "Pashu" (animal) refers to elephants, horses, chariots, cows, buffaloes, etc., and "Dhan" (wealth) refers to wealth. Having abandoned all of these things, they have taken the vow of renunciation and have taken upon themselves the burden of the five great vows. They have become pure and virtuous. But, if they still crave delicious food and run after homes where such food is available, they are far from the path of a "Shraman" (ascetic). This is what the Tirthankaras and their followers have said. ||23||

To further clarify this point, the text says: (Granthamram 4750)
