## Āgama Sūtra 39, Cheda Sūtra-5, 'Mahānishīth'
**Study/Purpose/Sūtrāṅka**
If the refutation and refutation of the nine types of Brahmacharya's secrets, the ten types of Śramaṇa Dharma, etc., and other many elaborate things mentioned in the Āgama has happened, and due to that, the Āgama's skillful such Gītartha Guru has told the atonement, then one should adopt it with full strength, vigor, effort, and courage without hiding it, with a humble mind devoid of deceit, and with twelve types of tapas karma, both external and internal, like fasting, etc., again determining and confirming it with the Guru, and then openly and humbly saying so, and then accepting the atonement tapas given by the Guru, either all at once or in parts, and not doing it properly, then that monk becomes Avandaniya.
**O Bhagavant!** Why should one perform tapas-prāyaścitta by taking breaks in between, i.e., by performing tapas in parts? **O Gautama!** A monk who is not able to perform the six months, four months, or Māsa-kṣamaṇa all at once, should also perform the atonement by fasting for six, eight, four, five, or fifteen days. On the other hand, if any other atonement is included within it, then one should perform tapas-prāyaścitta according to one's ability, taking breaks in between. While doing so, if there is a short time left for the Purimaḍū at midday, and if, while performing Pratikramṇa, Vandana, Svādhyāya, Paribhramaṇa, walking, going, standing, sitting, getting up, there is a touch of the Teūkāya, and the monk does not pull away his limbs, does not stop the collision, then he should not perform the fast, nor should he enter the atonement properly, nor should he perform tapas karma according to his ability, then he should be told to perform four times the atonement the next day. If someone pretends to be performing Vandana or Pratikramṇa, and a snake or cat passes by, then he should not flinch, or he should go to another place. He should be happy in Ugratapas compared to that. If he does not do this, then he should be expelled from the Gaccha.
**A monk who is the cause, creator, or bearer of that great calamity, misfortune, and inauspiciousness, should be considered fit to be expelled from the Gaccha.** If someone wanders here and there in the first or second Porisī, travels, wanders at an inappropriate time, looks for loopholes, and does not perform the four Āhāra-Cōvihāra-Pacchakkhāṇa, then he should be given six days of penance. If he performs the Pratilekhanā of the Sthaṇḍila place during the day and performs the Jayanā in the evening, then he should be given Ekāsana for the Glana, and six days for others. If the Sthaṇḍila place is not checked during the day for living beings, and the Bhajana, Pūjanā-Pramārjana is not done, the place is not seen, and the Bhajana for performing Mātrī is not seen with Jayanā, and at night, he performs Thalla or Mātrī, then he should be given Ekāsana for the Glana, and twelve-five days of fasting for others, or the Glana should be given Micchāmi Dukkadam.
**Similarly, in the first Porisī, leaving the study of the Sūtra, and in the second Porisī, leaving the study of the Artha, if someone talks about women, devotees, countries, kings, thieves, or the five things of householders, or talks about other irrelevant things, or talks about things that arouse Ārta-Raudradhyāna, or makes such a proposal or causes it, then he should be Avandaniya for one year.** If, due to some big reason, there is a reduction of even a moment or half a moment in Svādhyāya in the first or second Porisī, then the Glana should be given Micchāmi Dukkadam. If, due to any reason, someone repeatedly performs Pratikramṇa while sitting, even though the Gītartha Guru has repeatedly forbidden it, then he should be Avandaniya for one month. He should observe Maunavrata for four months. If someone takes food and water before the completion of the first Porisī, and after the completion of the third Porisī, then he should be given Purimaḍū. If he does not use it in front of the Guru, then he should be given Cāuttham. If he takes anything without using it, then he should be given Cāuttham. If he uses it improperly, then he should be given fasting. For food, for water, for acceptance, for the Guru's work, for going out of the land, he should not say the word "Āvassiāe" by colliding his forehead with the Guru's feet, and he should enter the door of his own residence, and he should not say "Nisih", then he should be given Purimaḍḍ. If he goes out of the residence for reasons other than the seven reasons for going out, then he should be expelled from the Gaccha.
