**Agam Sutra 30/2, Payanna Sutra-7/2, "Chandravadhyak"**
Those who know the "Chandravadhyak", are free from haste, do not rush in any work, are free from delusion, inspire their disciples and dependents in self-restraint, study, etc., are free from illusion, have knowledge of worldly, Vedic and social sciences, and are knowledgeable in the Swasamaya Jinagam and Parasamaya-Anyadarshan Shastra, whose beginning is Samayik and end is pre-arranged. Such a Dwadashangi, whose meaning they have found and accepted, is always praised by learned scholars and pandits. Sutra - 28
In the endless cycle of birth and death, this being has acquired thousands of Acharyas, who are knowledgeable and teachers of karma, work, art and other religious practices for many births. Sutra - 29-30
The Acharyas who are mentioned in the Nirgranth Pravachan, are the ones who explain the true nature of both the world and liberation, just as hundreds of lamps are lit from one illuminated lamp, yet that lamp remains illuminated and radiant, so too are the Acharyas like lamps, illuminating and liberating themselves and other souls. Sutra - 31-32
Those who constantly pay homage to the feet of the glorious Acharyas, who are like the sun in their brilliance, the moon in their gentleness and coolness, and who are revolutionary and capable of leading across the ocean of the world, are blessed. Such devotion to the glorious Acharyas brings fame in this world, the highest divine destiny in the next world, and unyielding, unparalleled knowledge and faith in religion. Sutra - 33, 34
Even the gods residing in the heavenly realms, through their divine knowledge, see the glorious Acharyas and always remember their virtues, and arrange their seats, beds, etc.
Even the gods residing in the heavenly realms, amidst beautiful apsaras, remember the Nirgranth Pravachan and have those apsaras pay homage to the glorious Acharyas. Sutra - 35
Those sadhus who, despite performing difficult austerities like the sixth, eighth, and four fasts, do not follow the Guru's words, become eternally bound to the cycle of birth and death. Sutra - 36
There are many other virtues of the glorious Acharyas, which cannot be counted. Now I will briefly describe the special qualities of a disciple. Sutra - 37
Those who are always humble, polite, free from pride, knowledgeable, virtuous, and understand the intentions and desires of the glorious Acharyas, are praised by learned men. (Such a sadhu is called a good disciple). Sutra - 38
Those disciples who are patient in enduring cold, heat, wind, hunger, thirst, and discomfort, and who are like the earth in bearing all kinds of adversity and prosperity, are praised by wise men. Sutra - 39
Those disciples whose facial expressions do not change in the face of gain or loss, i.e., they do not become joyful or sorrowful, and who have few desires and are always content, are praised by learned men. Muni Diparatnasagar Krit "(Chandravadhyak)" Agam Sutra - Hindi Translation"
