ग्रन्थनामक अध्ययन क्रोधं कुर्यात, एतदुक्तं भवति अत्युत्थितयाऽतिकुपितयाऽपि चोदितः स्वहितं मन्यमानः सुसाधुर्न कुप्येत्, किं पुनरन्येनेति ? तथा 'अगारिणां' गृहस्थानांयः 'समयः अनुष्ठानं तत्समयेनानुशासितो, गृहस्थानामपि एतन्न युज्यते कर्तुं यदारब्ध भवतेत्येयवमात्मावमेनापि चोदितो ममैवैतच्छ्रेय इत्येवंमन्यमानो मनागपि न मनो दूषयेदिति॥८॥ एतदेवाह___टीकार्थ - अपने पक्षवर्ती साधुओं द्वारा प्रदत्त अनुशासन का प्रतिपादन करने के पश्चात् अपने तथा सरे पक्षवर्ती जनों द्वारा दिये जाने वाले अनुशासन के सम्बन्ध में सूत्रकार कहते हैं-विरुद्धोत्थापेनोत्थित-शास्त्र विरुद्ध कार्यकारी व्युत्थित कहलाते हैं । परतीर्थी, गृहस्थ और मिथ्यादृष्टि इनमें आते हैं । वे साधु द्वारा प्रमादवश भूल हो जाने पर उसे स्वसमय-साधु द्वारा स्वीकृत दर्शन के अनुसार प्रेरणा दे तथा कहे कि आपके आगमशास्त्र में ऐसे अनुष्ठान-आचरण का विधान नहीं है जो आप कर रहे हैं अथवा संयम के पतित कोई साधु किसी दूसरे साधु को जो व्रत पालन में स्खलित हो रहा हो, तीर्थंकर प्रणीत आगमों के अनुसार मूल गुणों एवं उत्तर गुणों के आचरण से विचलित उस साधु को प्रेरणा दे । आगम को उद्धृत कर कहे कि-तेज गति से चलना आदि आचरण आपके लिए अनुज्ञात-शास्त्र अनुमोदित नहीं है। तथा दूसरा कोई मिथ्या दृष्टि, वय में कनिष्ठ अथवा ज्येष्ठ पुरुष कुत्सित-अशुभ या निन्दित आचार में प्रवृत्त साधु को सदाचरण की प्रेरणा दे। यहां 'तु' शब्द द्वारा सूचित समवयस्क-अपने समान उम्र का पुरुष भी प्रेरणा दे-अतीव अकार्य करते हुए देखकर प्रेरणा देने हेतु उद्यत अथवा दासी होने के नाते अत्यन्त उत्थित कार्य करने में बेहद उतावली, अतीव अकार्य एवं तुच्छ कार्य करने में निरत घट दासी-जलवाहिनी या पनिहारिन भी उसे सदाचरण की प्रेरणा दे तो वह साधु क्रोध न करे । कहने का तात्पर्य यह है कि वह दासी भी यदि उसे अनाचरणशील देख अत्यन्त कुपित होकर सदाचरण की प्रेरणा दे तो वह साधु उसे अपने लिये हितप्रद मानता हुआ, कुपित न हो, फिर अन्य किसी के द्वारा तो उपदेश दिये जाने पर कुपित होने की बात ही क्या है । गृहस्थों के समय-परम्परा या सद्व्यवहार के अनुसार उसे कोई अनुशासित करता हुआ कहे कि जो आप कर रहे है, वह तो गृहस्थों के लिये भी समुचित नहीं होता । इस प्रकार तिरस्कार के साथ भी यदि उसे सदाचार की ओर प्रेरित किया जाये तो वह यह समझता हुआ कि मेरे लिये यह श्रेयस्कर है, मन में जरा भी विकार न लाये । इसी बात को और कहते हैं -
ण तेस कुज्झे णय पव्वहेजा, ण यावि किंची फरुसं वदेजा। तहा करिस्संति पडिस्सुणेजा, सेयं खु मेयं ण पमाय कुज्जा ॥९॥ .. छाया - न तेषु क्रुध्येन्न च प्रव्यथयेन्न चाऽपि किञ्चित्परुषं वदेत् ।
तथा करिष्यामीति प्रतिशृणुयात्, श्रेयः खलुममेदं न प्रमादं कुर्यात् ॥
अनुवाद - पहले कहे अनुसार जो साधु को प्रेरित करे, शिक्षा दे, उन पर वह क्रोध न करे। उन्हें व्यथा-पीड़ा न दे तथा परुष-कठोर वचन न कहे । मैं ऐसा ही करूंगा, ऐसी प्रतिज्ञा करे, इसी में मेरा श्रेयकल्याण है, यह सोचकर वह प्रमाद न करे-असावधानी न बरते ।
टीका - 'तेषु' स्वपरपक्षेषु स्खलित चोदकेष्वात्महितं मन्यमानो न क्रुध्येद् अन्यस्मिन् वा दुर्वचनेऽभिहिते न कुप्येद् एवं च चिन्तयेत्
'आक्रुष्टेन मतिमता तत्त्वार्थविचारणे मतिः कार्या । यदि सत्यं कः कोपः ? स्यादनृतं किं नु कोपेन ? ॥१॥

The study of scriptures should not lead to anger. This is said because even when someone is extremely agitated and provoked, believing it to be in their own best interest, a virtuous person should not be angry, let alone someone else. Similarly, when a householder is being disciplined according to the rules of conduct for householders, even if they are being told that what they are doing is not appropriate for householders, they should not be angry. Even if they are being provoked by their own mind, believing that this is for their own good, they should not let their mind be corrupted. ||8||

This is the meaning of the commentary: After explaining the discipline given by virtuous people on their own side, the author of the sutras speaks about the discipline given by both those on their own side and those on the other side. Those who are opposed to the teachings of the scriptures are called "viruddhotthapena utthita". These include those who are against the teachings, householders, and those with false beliefs. When a virtuous person makes a mistake due to carelessness, they should be guided by a virtuous person of their own time, according to the teachings accepted by them. They should be told that their scriptures do not prescribe the rituals and conduct they are engaging in. Or, if a virtuous person who has fallen from restraint is trying to guide another virtuous person who is slipping in their observance of vows, they should guide them according to the teachings of the Tirthankaras, based on the principles of the original and subsequent qualities. They should quote the scriptures and say that actions like running fast are not permitted or approved by the scriptures. Similarly, if a person with false beliefs, whether younger or older, sees a virtuous person engaging in disgraceful, inauspicious, or condemned conduct, they should guide them towards righteous conduct. Here, the word "tu" refers to a person of the same age, who should also guide them. If someone sees another person engaging in extremely inappropriate actions and tries to guide them, or if a servant, being very eager to do their duty, is very insistent in trying to get someone to stop doing inappropriate and trivial things, even a maid, water-carrier, or servant should guide them towards righteous conduct. The virtuous person should not be angry. The point is that even if a maid, seeing someone engaging in unrighteous conduct, becomes extremely angry and guides them towards righteous conduct, the virtuous person should not be angry, considering it to be in their own best interest. Then, what to speak of being angry when someone else gives them advice? If a householder is being disciplined according to the rules of conduct for householders, or according to the traditions of their time, and they are told that what they are doing is not appropriate for householders, even if they are being told this with disdain, they should not be angry. They should understand that this is for their own good and not let any negativity arise in their mind. This is further explained as follows:

"They should not be angry, nor should they be distressed, nor should they speak harshly. They should promise to do so, knowing that this is for their own good, and not be careless." ||9||

Commentary: "Tesh" refers to those who are on their own side or the other side, who are trying to guide them. They should not be angry, believing it to be in their own best interest. Nor should they be angry when someone else speaks harshly to them. They should think:

"When someone is angry, their mind should be directed towards understanding the truth. If it is true, why be angry? If it is false, why be angry?" ||1||
