**Āgama Sūtra 39, Chhedasūtra-5, 'Mahānishīth'**
A seeker, wandering from house to house begging for alms, tries to find out the secrets and hidden matters of that kingdom, but cannot find out.
After that, if he somehow survives and starts to accumulate merit, then he should enter the house after changing his body and appearance. At that time, if he is asked who he is, he should reveal his character in food, etc. He should defeat the king by fighting, being ready to fight, with all his army, vehicles and prowess, and breaking into pieces. Sūtra - 1289-1292
Perhaps he is defeated by that king, then he falls down with his face down in the battlefield filled with elephants, horses and weapons, with his body scarred by the blood flowing from many blows. Then, O Gautama! Where did the desire to obtain rare things, bad habits and delicacy go at that time? Who, being only a seeker of delicate things, never thought of setting foot on the ground after washing only half of his body with his own hand. Such humans also found such a state. Sūtra - 1293-1297
_ If he is told to do good deeds, he replies that he is not capable. Then, O Gautama! Such a creature, who is poor, unfortunate, and does evil deeds, never has the wisdom to be inclined towards the place of religion. He says that this religion is easy to do in one birth, just like eating and drinking will be available to us, then he should preach religion according to the wishes of those who desire it. Then, even without performing vows and rules, a living being desires liberation, such a creature should not be angry, he should preach religion to them in that way. But do not tell them about liberation, such people will not be liberated and it will be a false statement. Sūtra - 1298-1302
The second Tirthankara Bhagavan also did not have attachment, aversion, delusion, fear, and free behavior in the past, and will not have it in the future. O Gautama! The Tirthankara Bhagavan never speaks falsehood. Because they have direct omniscience, they see the whole world directly. Past, future, present, merit-demerit, and everything that is in the three realms is revealed to them, even if the underworld goes up to heaven and heaven goes down, surely there will be no difference in the words of the Tirthankara. They reveal the path of knowledge-vision, character, severe and difficult penance, and liberation, as it is. Otherwise, they are not Tirthankara by word, mind or action. Sūtra - 1303-1304
Perhaps the destruction of this world happens immediately, even then, they are called Tirthankara by compassion for the welfare of all the beings, creatures, and ghosts of the world, in the way that they preach the true religion. There is no fear of misfortune, sorrow, poverty, disease, sorrow, or bad destiny for those who practice the religion well. And there is no suffering or anxiety. Sūtra - 1305-1306
O Bhagavan! We do not want to say that we behave according to our own will. We only ask that he do as much as possible. O Gautama! It is not right to do so, it is not beneficial to think about it even for a moment, if you think so, know that his strength has been killed. Sūtra - 1307-1310
One human is capable of eating ghee-candy rabdi. Another is powerful enough to play with wine and meat, and a third is powerful enough to play with women, and a fourth cannot do any of these, another can argue, establishing the previous side, that is, he can debate. Another, who is of the nature of suffering, cannot debate. What one does
