## The Twelfth Chapter of the Sutra Kritanga Sutra, The Study of the Four Samvasaranas
**Four Samvasaranas are there, which the Pravadukas speak of separately. They are Kriyavada, Akriyavada, Vinayavada, and the fourth is Ajnanavada.**
**Commentary:** This chapter is connected to the previous chapter, which states that a Sadhu who has attained the path of liberation should recognize and avoid the Pravadukas who follow the wrong path. This chapter explains their nature. This chapter is also connected to the next chapter, which states that a Samvrita (one who has controlled his senses), Mahaprajna (one with great wisdom), Vira (a hero), should accept food and other things offered by others without any fault, and should be free from passions and desires, and should desire the time of death. This is the statement of the Kevali (the omniscient one). He should also avoid other Tirthankaras. This is also the opinion of the Kevali. Therefore, to avoid them, their nature is being explained here. The word "Chatvari" (four) is used to exclude other numbers. The Pravadukas speak of four types of Samvasaranas, which are the principles accepted by other Tirthankaras. These are described by the Sutrakar using names that are synonymous with their meaning. For example, those who say that only action exists are called Kriyavadins. Those who say that action does not exist are called Akriyavadins. The third are the Vinayikas, and the fourth are the Ajnanikas.
**Those who are not good are not considered good, and they do not understand the truth. They are called Akaviyas by the Akaviyas, and they speak falsehood.**
