## Āgama Sūtra 30/2, Payannā Sūtra-7/2, ‘Candraveḍhyaka’ Sūtra - 116
I have briefly described the qualities and great benefits of the Dharma of conduct. Now listen with a focused mind to the special qualities of Samadhi-Maraṇa. Sūtra-117-118
Just as an untrained man riding an uncontrolled horse might wish to defeat an enemy army, but that man and horse, not having been trained and practiced beforehand, are destroyed upon seeing the enemy army in battle. Sūtra - 119
Similarly, a Muni who has not previously practiced the Pariṣaha of hunger, etc., the suffering of Loca, etc., and Tapas, cannot bear the Pariṣaha, Upaśarga, and pain that come upon the body at the time of death with equanimity. Sūtra - 120
A Muni who has practiced Tapas, etc., beforehand and desires Samadhi, if he can restrain the desire for worldly pleasures, can bear the Pariṣaha with equanimity. Sūtra - 121
A Muni who has previously renounced all food, having practiced the prescribed methods of the scriptures, such as Vigaya, Uṇodari, and excellent Tapas, pierces the army of Pariṣaha at the time of death like a sharp axe. Sūtra - 122
A Muni who has not made great effort in upholding conduct beforehand experiences sensory pain at the time of death. It creates an obstacle to Samadhi. In this way, a Muni who has not practiced Tapas, etc., beforehand becomes cowardly and fearful at the time of final worship. Sūtra-123
Even a Muni who is a student of the Āgama, if he becomes attached to sensory pleasures, may or may not attain Samadhi at the time of death. If he remembers the words of the scriptures, he may attain Samadhi, but due to the inability to remember the words of the scriptures because of being under the control of sensory pleasures, he usually does not attain Samadhi. Sūtra - 124
Even a Muni who has little knowledge, if he has practiced Tapas, etc., well, can fulfill the vows of restraint and a good death without suffering and in a beautiful way. Sūtra - 125
A cowardly man, overwhelmed by the desire for sensory pleasures, bound by the power of severe Pariṣaha, and without the practice of Tapas, etc., becomes frightened at the time of final worship. Sūtra - 126
A Muni who has become virtuous by practicing difficult Tapas and restraint beforehand cannot be overcome by the army of Pariṣaha, which has been prevented by the power of fortitude at the time of death. Sūtra-127
A wise Muni who has practiced difficult Tapas and restraint beforehand, thinking carefully about his future benefit, free from the hope of Nidāna-Pauḍgalika pleasure, and without any restrictions regarding any substance, field, etc., practices the acceptable Samadhi Yoga well.
