**Meaning:** The seeker who gives the meaning of the pure (clear or detailed) Agamas, obtained with great difficulty, to a person contaminated by prejudice, later feels regret in the same way as one who sows seeds obtained after hundreds of efforts in a barren field. ||16||
**Meaning:** A person with prejudice never listens to the scriptures from the Guru, nor does he ever follow their commands. He, like a sieve, only accepts the worthless (useless chaff to be thrown away) and considers himself a scholar (interpreter) on this earth. ||17||
**Meaning:** It is amazing how the qualities of a person with prejudice are created in reverse! His cleverness is for arrogance, his study of scriptures is for sin, his brilliance is for deceiving others, and his patience is for pride. ||18||
**Meaning:** A person with prejudice, surrounded by those who are friendly and compassionate, suffers the same way as a banana tree, which is full of thorns and sharp prickles. ||19||
