## Agam Sutra 30/2, Payanna Sutra-7/2, ‘Chandravedhyak’
[30/2] Chandravedhyak Payanna Sutra-7/2- Hindi Translation
Sutra - 1
Salutations to the glorious Siddha Bhagavants, who are always present on the head (Siddhashila) of the human beings, and possess the developed, complete, and superior qualities of knowledge and vision, and to the glorious Arihant Paramatma, who illuminates knowledge in the world. Sutra - 2
This chapter is the essence of the Jin Agam, a scripture that guides towards liberation, and is full of profound and significant meaning. Listen to it with a focused mind, free from all four types of distortions, and do not be negligent for even a moment in acting according to it. Sutra - 3
I will speak about humility, the qualities of an Acharya, the qualities of a disciple, the qualities of humility-control, the qualities of knowledge, the qualities of conduct, and the qualities of death. Sutra - 4
The knowledge acquired from an Acharya-Guru, even if obtained with great difficulty, becomes useless for a person who disrespects him. Sutra - 5
A being who disrespects the Guru due to the strength of his karma, is arrogant, proud, and devoid of humility. Such a being cannot attain fame or glory anywhere in the world, but only faces defeat everywhere. Sutra - 6
A person who humbly accepts the knowledge taught by the Guru, attains shelter, trust, and fame everywhere. Sutra - 7
The knowledge acquired with great effort by an undisciplined disciple is bound to be destroyed due to the fault of disrespecting the Guru. Even if it is not completely destroyed, it will not yield its true benefits. Sutra - 8
Knowledge is worthy of repeated remembrance and preservation. It is not fit to be given to the undisciplined and unworthy. Because both the undisciplined and the knowledge-giver, the Guru, face defeat. Sutra - 9
An undisciplined being who disrespects knowledge and does not reveal the qualities of the knowledge-giver, the Acharya, attains strong falsehood and becomes a Rishi-killer, experiencing the suffering of hell and other miserable states. Sutra - 10
Knowledge acquired by a virtuous person endowed with humility and other qualities becomes powerful. Just like a girl born in a noble family becomes great by getting an ordinary man as her husband. Sutra - 11
O child! Practice humility until you achieve it. What use is knowledge to you without humility? Indeed, learning humility is difficult, but knowledge is easily accessible to the humble.
