Study of the text called Granthanāmaka
One should ask questions about the people, knowing the right time, from the Samita, who is well-versed in conduct and ethics. The listener should separately internalize this, the Kaivalika samadhi.
Translation - Knowing the right time, one should ask questions about the people, from the Samita, who is well-versed in conduct and ethics. One should respect the Acharya, the teacher of the Sarvajñokta Āgama, and internalize their teachings.
Commentary - The author of the sutra is teaching humility to the disciple who lives with the Guru. The meaning of the sutra, or both, should be asked from the Acharya, knowing the right time to ask. The word "praja" refers to living beings, and the question should be about the fourteen types of beings. One should ask the Acharya, who is well-versed in conduct and ethics, about the living beings. The Acharya, when asked, should be listened to with respect. When the Acharya speaks, they show the path to liberation. The "dravya" is the one who is worthy of liberation, or the one who is free from attachment and aversion. The Acharya, who speaks well about the "dravya", their conduct, restraint, knowledge, or the Āgama that they have formulated, should be respected. How? The author of the sutra says, "tad" - the teachings given by the Acharya should be heard with attention. The listener should internalize it separately, with respect, in their heart. The author of the sutra shows what should be internalized. "Samkhyāy" - knowing well, "ima" - as will be said, this Kaivalika - the Kaivalika samadhi, the path to liberation, the teachings of the Acharya, should be internalized separately, in the heart.

You are well established in three ways, these are the ones who have peace and restraint. They are the ones who see the three worlds, they do not indulge in carelessness.
