## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra with Commentary - Chapter 37
**Commentary:** After attaining the path of liberation, a virtuous person who has taken vows may be afflicted by various types of small and large **parishahas** and **upsargas**. He should endure them, keeping in mind the nature of the world and the destruction of karma. He should not be swayed by these favorable or unfavorable **upsargas** in his practice of **samyama**. Just as the great mountain Meru is not shaken by the mighty wind, so too should he remain unshaken. He should gradually practice overcoming **parishahas** and **upsargas**, for even difficult tasks become easy with practice. Here is an example: A cowherd lifts a calf born that day and brings it near the cow, and then takes it back. In this way, he continues to lift and bring the calf back, even as it grows larger day by day, until it is two years old and then three years old. Similarly, a virtuous person, through constant practice, gradually overcomes **parishahas** and **upsargas**.

**Verse:**
> संवुडे से महापन्ने, धीरे दत्तेसणं चरे । निव्वुडे कालमाकंखी, एवं (यं) केवलिणो मयं ॥३८॥त्तिबेमि॥
**Shadow:**
> संवृत्तः स महाप्राज्ञः, धीरो दत्तैषणां चरेत् ।
> निवृतः कालमाकाङ्क्ष देवं केवलिनो मतम् ॥इति ब्रवीमि॥
**Translation:**
> The wise and restrained one, with great wisdom, should patiently accept the food and other things given by others. He should be calm and desire the time of death. This is the opinion of the omniscient one.
**Commentary:** Continuing the discussion, the text says: This virtuous person, with his senses restrained, is wise and has great knowledge. He is patient and calm, and he should accept the food and other things given by others, while remaining committed to **samyama**. He should be calm and desire the time of death. This is the opinion of the omniscient one, the **Tirthankara**. This is said by Sudharma Swami, addressing Jambuswami. What you have learned about the path is not my own opinion, but the opinion of the omniscient one. Therefore, you should accept it as such. This concludes the discussion.
