## Āgama Sūtra 39, Cheda Sūtra-5, 'Mahānishīth'
**Study/Purpose/Sūtra Number** Here, the king went to the seventh Naraka (hell) due to his own actions. In the same way, the soul of God, due to its own wrong conceptions, has been wandering in the Naraka and animal realms, and in the most wretched and lowly human realm for a long time, experiencing immense suffering and becoming extremely distressed. This is the same soul of God. Therefore, to understand the ultimate truth, one should quickly recognize the essence of such scriptures filled with the essence and become a Gītartha Muni. **Sūtra - 1139-1140**
Without recognizing the essence, the Rājju Ārya, due to the fault of being a Gītartha, earned sin by just one word. The kind of terrifying speed of control she will have to experience in the Naraka, animal realm, and the lowest human realm due to that sin, who will be able to bear hearing it? **Sūtra - 1141**
O Bhagavant! Who was that Rājju Ārya, and what kind of sinful act did she commit by just one word due to the fault of being a Gītartha, that even hearing its consequences would make one lose patience? O Gautama! In this very Bharat Kshetra, there was an Ācharya named Bhadra. He had five hundred disciples and twelve hundred Nirgranthi Sadhvis (female ascetics) who were great souls. In that Gachchha (lineage), the fourth (Ayambil) type of Rasayukta Osaman (a type of water) was used, which had three boils and three types of Achitta (unwholesome) water, but the fourth type of water was not used. Once, due to the arising of the unwholesome karma from a previous life, the Ārya named Rājja's body became rotten due to leprosy, and worms were born in it and started eating her. Once, seeing the Ārya, other Sanayatis (female ascetics) in the Gachchha asked her, "Oh, Duskarakarike! What happened to you suddenly?"
Then, O Gautama! That Rājja Ārya, who was born with the characteristics of a great sinner, replied to the Sanayatis, "This destruction of my body is due to drinking this Achitta water." As soon as she uttered these words, the hearts of all the Sanayatis were shaken. "We will also drink this Achitta water, and we will die like her." But one Sadhvi from that Gachchha thought, "Even if my body rots and breaks into pieces in the blink of an eye, I will never drink the Satchitta water in this life. I will not abandon the Achitta water." The other Sadhvi's body was destroyed by the Achitta water. What is the truth of this matter? This is absolutely not true. Because this happens due to the arising of unwholesome karma from a previous life. In this way, she started thinking very beautifully. "Look, how ignorant, foolish, and shameless this great sinner Sadhvi is, who has spoken such a wicked word that even my ears cannot enter the cavity." So, whatever poverty, misfortune, disgrace, false accusations, and suffering from leprosy and other diseases arise due to the arising of unwholesome karma from a previous life, there is no difference. Because the Āgama says in Sūtra - 1142:
"Who can give or take the suffering or happiness earned by oneself? Who can bear the karma done by oneself, and whose karma can one bear? One has to bear the consequences of one's own karma and the happiness or suffering earned by oneself." **Sūtra - 1143**
Thinking this way, that Sadhviji attained Kevalgyan (omniscience). At that time, the Devas (gods) celebrated the festival of Kevalgyan. That Kevali Sadhviji removed the veil of darkness of Samsara (cycle of birth and death) in the form of human, Deva, Asura (demon), and Sadhvi. After that, Rājja Ārya, whose heart was filled with devotion, bowed down and asked, "O Bhagavant! Why did I get such a great disease of suffering?" Then, O Gautama! Like the sound of rain-laden clouds and the Dundubhi (a type of drum), the beautiful...
