The **Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra** states that one should not transgress the truth even in the face of death, abandoning the 'Nidhaya' (the act of killing). This is further explained: A virtuous person should not desire a long life through the suffering of stationary and mobile beings, nor should they desire a life of unrestrained indulgence. Even when defeated by hardship, overwhelmed by pain, and unable to bear it, they should not seek death by drowning, burning, or being killed by a predator. Thus, with a focus on truth, they should refrain from harming all beings, be indifferent to life and death, and practice restraint. They should be a wise person, living within the boundaries of the scriptures, knowledgeable, and free from the captivating karma of Maya. The word 'iti' here signifies completion. I speak as before.
This concludes the thirteenth study, known as 'Yathatatya'.
