## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra
**Commentary:**
Another point: Knowing the four paths of existence (Chaturgati) and their causes (Mithyatva, Aviriti, Pramada, Kshaya, Yoga) through self-reflection or by learning from others, and understanding the nature of liberation (Moksha) as the complete destruction of karma and its causes (Samyak Darshan, Samyak Gyan, Samyak Charitra), one should teach this to others seeking liberation (Mumukshu). What kind of teaching should be given?
The beings who are born (Praja) - stationary (Sthavar) and mobile (Jangama) - should be taught the Dharma that is beneficial to them.
Having shown what is to be adopted (Upadaya), the commentary now reveals what is to be avoided (Heya).
Those who are condemned (Garhita) and repulsive (Jugupsita) - Mithyatva, Aviriti, Pramada, Kshaya, Yoga - are the causes of karmic bondage. These are used with a motive (Sani Dana).
The use of words (Prayoga) - actions (Vyaapara) - Dharma stories (Dharma Katha Prabandha) - are done with the motive of gaining something like worship, benefit, or respect.
The wise and righteous (Sudhir Dharma) - great sages (Maharishi) - do not engage (Na Sevante) in these actions, which are obstacles to righteous conduct (Charitra).
Or, those who are condemned (Garhita) and have a motive (Sani Dana) - such as those who are deceitful (Kutirthika), engaged in sinful practices (Savadya Anushthan Rata), lacking in good conduct (Nishil Nirvrata), and those who are useless (Kuntal Ventala Kari) - the wise and righteous (Sudhir Dharma) - who pierce the heart (Maramavedi) - do not engage (Na Sevante) in such words, which are thorns (Vak Kantaka).
**Verse 20:**
**Commentary:**
Another point: Some people with wrong views (Mithyatva Drishti) - those who are deceitful (Kutirthika) - who are attached to their own views (Svadarshan Agrahi) - through reasoning (Tarka) - by examining their own opinions (Svamati Paryalocana) - do not understand the intention (Bhav) - the nature of their actions (Karanavritti).
Some righteous person (Sadhu) or listener (Shravaka) - with the desire to establish their own Dharma - may teach them.
