The **Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra** states: Ignorance-based vigor repeatedly causes suffering and pain to the soul. As the soul experiences suffering, its inauspicious consequences increase.
**Commentary:** A **Nayanashila** leader is one who guides towards liberation. Here, the term "leader" is derived from the root "ni" with the suffix "trin" according to the **Taachchhelika-trin** grammar. One who leads or guides towards the right path is called a leader or guide. Here, the **Samyak**, **Jnana**, **Darshan**, and **Charitra**-based path to liberation is referred to as the leader, or the **Shruta** and **Charitra**-based Dharma is considered the leader, as it guides the soul towards liberation. The **Tirthankaras** have explained this path as the leader of liberation. Therefore, wise individuals embrace this path and strive through meditation, study, and other efforts. The Sutrakar encourages the soul to ascend the path of meditation, stating that **Balaviry** is rooted in endless births, both past, present, and future, meaning that those with **Balaviry** repeatedly wander through places of suffering like hell, and due to their inauspicious actions and consequences, their inauspiciousness increases. Thus, those who contemplate the suffering nature of the world are drawn towards Dharma and meditation.
**Thanee:** Various abodes exist, but the world is not permanent. This abode is impermanent, there is no happiness here.
**Shadow:** The inhabitants of various abodes will surely abandon them. This abode is impermanent, even with relatives and friends.
**Translation:** The rulers of various abodes will inevitably be removed from their positions. The companionship of relatives and friends is also impermanent.
**Commentary:** Now, addressing the concept of permanence, the text states that those who have abodes are the inhabitants, such as Indra in the celestial realm, the thirty companions of Trayastrimsa, and in humans, the Chakravarti, Baladeva, Vasudeva, and Mahamandala leaders. Similarly, in the animal realm, there are various abodes like the **Yani** and **Chidi** realms, and these abodes are all diverse, ranging from the highest to the lowest and the middle. These inhabitants will surely abandon their abodes, there is no doubt about it. As it is said:
"All abodes, both in heaven and here, are impermanent. The happiness of gods, demons, and humans is also impermanent."
Similarly, the companionship with relatives, friends, and allies is also impermanent. As it is said:
