## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra
**Chapter 7**
A sadhu who is constantly being guided towards non-repetition (apunahakarana) should accept the guidance and respond to it. If he does not accept it properly, he is considered to be carried away by the stream of samsara, being dragged along and disciplined. He becomes angry and does not become a crosser of the ocean of samsara. Even if he is being guided towards liberation by the teachings of an Acharya or others, and he is being prevented from falling into carelessness, he still does not become a crosser of the ocean of samsara because he does not follow the guidance.
**Commentary:**
If a sadhu, while staying in the presence of a guru, makes a mistake due to carelessness, then a younger sadhu, either in age or in the stage of initiation, will prevent him from making that mistake. Or, a sadhu who is older in knowledge of the scriptures or in age will stop him from doing so, disciplining him and saying that such careless conduct is not appropriate for a person like him. Or, a sadhu who is senior in the stage of Ratnaadhika-pravrajya, or who is distinguished in knowledge of the scriptures, or who is of the same age, will discipline him and encourage him not to be careless. If, upon being disciplined, the sadhu becomes angry at the one who is disciplining him and says, "I am born into a noble family. I am respected by everyone. This insignificant being is disciplining me, teaching me," then he does not say "micchami dukkadam" for his conduct, and he does not rise properly, he does not come back to his true nature as a sadhu, and he does not remain steadfast in the discipline given. He does not accept, "I will not do that again." He gives a counter-response to the one who is guiding him and starts teaching him. Then that sadhu flows in the stream of samsara. He becomes angry at being disciplined, and therefore he cannot cross the ocean of samsara. Or, if an Acharya or others try to guide him towards liberation by giving him good teachings and encouraging him not to fall into carelessness, but he does not follow their discipline, then he cannot cross the ocean of samsara.
**Chapter 8**
**Verse:**
Viutthitenam samayaanusivve, daharena vuddhena u coie ya. Accuttiyae ghaddasiae va, agarinam va samayaasi.
**Shadow:**
Vyutthitenam samayaanusisto daharena vuddhena tu coditha ca. Atyutthitaya ghatadasyaava agarinam va samayaanusista.
**Translation:**
Even if a sadhu is guided towards good conduct by a householder who is opposed to the teachings, or by someone younger or older, or even by a lowly servant girl who performs menial tasks, he should not become angry.
**Commentary:**
Now, after discussing the encouragement of one's own side, the commentary discusses the encouragement of the other side. It says, "Vyutthita" - one who has risen in opposition, a householder who is a non-Jain, or one who holds a wrong view. He is guided by his own time, for example, "Such conduct is not established for you, you are inclined towards this." Or, "Vyutthita" - one who has fallen from restraint, another sadhu who has made a mistake and is disciplined by his own time, according to the teachings established by the Arhats, for example, "This is not allowed for you, such as fast travel." Or, he is guided by someone else who holds a wrong view, or by someone who is "kshullka" - small, younger, or older, who has a bad character, and the word "tu" indicates that he is of the same age. Or, "Atyutthita" - those who have risen in opposition to performing even the smallest tasks, or "dasya" - a servant girl, who is very lowly, and the commentary clarifies this by saying "ghatadasya" - a water carrier. Even if he is guided by her, he should not...
