## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra
**But violence is the main thing, it is the producer of faults. Even if something is true, it should not be said if people try hard to conceal it - keep it hidden. This is the command of the Nirgrantha Prabhu, it is his teaching.**
**Holavaayam, Sahivaayam, Tumum Tumanti Amanunnam**
**Translation:** A Sadhu should not address anyone with harsh or degrading words, nor should they address anyone as a friend, etc. They should not address anyone by their gotra, such as "O Vasishtha Gotriya!" or "O Kashyap Gotriya!" to please them. They should not address someone older than them as "you" or "thou". A Sadhu should never speak words that are unpleasant, displeasing, or offensive to others.
**Commentary:** "Hola" is a type of speech called "Holavaad", similarly, "Sakhe" is a type of speech called "Sakhivaad", and addressing someone by their gotra is called "Gotravaad", such as "Kashyap Gotriya" or "Vasishtha Gotriya". A Sadhu should not speak in this manner. Similarly, "Tumum Tumanti" is a disrespectful singular pronoun used for a plural subject, and "Amanunnam" refers to words that are unpleasant to the mind, or any such words that are humiliating. A Sadhu should never speak such words.
**Goyavaayam Cha No Savvaso Tam Na**
**Holavaade Sakhivaadam, Gotravaadancha Nee Vaadet.**
**Tvam Tvamiti Amanunnam Sarvasha Stanna Vartate.**
**Translation:** A Sadhu should not speak in a way that is disrespectful, nor should they use the words "you" or "thou" for someone who deserves a plural pronoun. They should never speak words that are unpleasant to others.
**Commentary:** Addressing someone with a degrading term is called "Holavaad". Addressing someone as "O friend!" is called "Sakhivaad". Addressing someone by their gotra to please them, such as "O Vasishtha Gotriya!" or "O Kashyap Gotriya!" is called "Gotravaad". A Sadhu should not speak in this manner. They should not use disrespectful words like "you" or "thou" for someone who deserves a plural pronoun. A Sadhu should never speak words that are unpleasant to others.
**Akusilae**
**Suhruvaa**
**Commentary:** A Sadhu should always remain "Akusilae" - free from bad conduct, and should not associate with "Kusilae" - those who have bad conduct, because they have "Suharupa" - pleasant but harmful influences. A wise Sadhu should be aware of this and remain vigilant.
**Bhaye. Viuu.**
**Commentary:** As stated in the previous verse, "Pasatthosanna Kusilae Santhavo Na Kil Vattae Kaum" - those who associate with bad people will not be good. Therefore, a Sadhu should always remain "Akusilae" - free from bad conduct, and should not associate with "Kusilae" - those who have bad conduct, because they have "Suharupa" - pleasant but harmful influences. A wise Sadhu should be aware of this and remain vigilant.

**Akusilah Sada Bhikkhu Naiva Samsargitam Bhajet.**
**Sukharupaa Statropasargaah Pratibudhyet Tadvidwaan.**
