**The Sutra Kritanga Sutra**
**Shadow:** In the upward, downward, and horizontal directions, and in all directions, those who are trembling and those who are stationary, all beings.
**Translation:** The virtuous one should always be mindful of all beings in the upward, downward, and horizontal directions, and in all directions, those who are trembling and those who are stationary. He should remain steadfast in his practice, without any hatred towards them.
**Commentary:** The student, having resided in the Guru's house, becomes knowledgeable of the words of the Jinas, and being learned, knows the root virtues and the subsequent virtues. The Sutra-maker, taking the root virtues as the subject, says: "In the upward, downward, and horizontal directions, and in all directions," by this, the area of non-violence towards beings is established. In terms of substance, he shows: "Those who tremble" - these are the beings of fire, air, and those with two senses, etc. And those who are stationary - those who are born with the stationary karma, such as earth, water, and plants, and those who are subtle, coarse, sufficient, insufficient, and all ten types of beings who have life, are called beings. "Always" - at all times. By this, the non-violence towards beings is established in terms of time. "He should wander" - he should wander around, practicing restraint. He shows non-violence towards beings in terms of feeling: "He should not harbor hatred in his mind towards stationary and mobile beings, whether they do him harm or good." Even if they harm him, he should not even think ill of them. "Unwavering" - he should always abide by good conduct, without wavering from his restraint. Thus, he should abide by non-violence towards beings in terms of substance, area, time, and feeling, through the three yogas and the three karmas, being free from attachment and aversion. In the same way, he should abide by the remaining great vows and the subsequent virtues, being equipped with the teachings of acceptance, consumption, and education.
**Verse 15:**
**Shadow:** With a tail of black, he is restrained in his desires, seeking the wealth of the enemy. The wise one should lead him forward, and this is the only way to be liberated.
