## Agam Sutra 39, Chhed Sutra-5, 'Mahanishith'
The Dharma of a Shraman, marked by non-violence, which eliminates misfortune and brings about a lineage of happiness, is difficult to practice. When it is practiced, the severance of the Tirtha occurs, and the distance to the ultimate liberation, the Parampad, increases significantly. The path to attaining the Parampad becomes distant, and therefore, a group of such Bhavyatmas, filled with sorrow, will be trapped in the cycle of the four gatis (states of existence). For this reason, O Gautam! It is said that such a Kuguuru (bad teacher) should not be given the Akshar (sacred syllable), and the Sangha should be advised to expel him. Sutra-1391
O Bhagvant! After how much time will such Kuguurus appear on this path? O Gautam! From today, after 1250 years, a little more than that, such Kuguurus will appear. O Bhagvant! What will be the reason for their appearance as Kuguurus? O Gautam! At that time, those who practice the three Garvas (pride) of Riddhi (power), Ras (taste), and Shaata (peace), and whose inner soul and body are burning with the fire of Mamta (attachment) and Ahankar (ego), will become Acharya Gachchhayaks, not knowing the true essence of the Shastra, believing that they have done this work, that they have influenced the Shasana. Because of this, they will be called Kuguurus. O Bhagvant! Will all the Gachchhayaks at that time be of this kind? O Gautam! Not all of them will be like that. Some will be of the Durant Praant (extreme) type, despicable, unworthy of being seen, born as twins from the same mother, devoid of restraint, naturally inclined to sin, engaging in evil deeds throughout their lives, adopting the false views of Jaati (caste), Raudra (fierce), Prachand (intense), and Abhigarahik (greedy). How will they be recognized? They will be recognized by their actions, such as giving advice that leads to the wrong path, or giving permission for such actions. Sutra-1392
O Bhagvant! Will the Acharya Gachchhayaks also be negligent in their essential duties? O Gautam! Consider it as Avandaniya (unworthy of respect) if a Gachchhayak is negligent for even a moment without any reason. Those who are not negligent in their essential duties even for a moment, despite the presence of great reasons, should be considered Vandaniya (worthy of respect), Pujaniya (worthy of worship), Darshaniya (worthy of seeing), and equal to the Siddha Buddhas who have attained the state of Kshina (diminished) karma, free from the dust of karma. The rest will be explained in detail in its respective place. Sutra-1393
According to this, those who, after hearing the method of Prāyaścitta (atonement), do not practice the proper rituals for consuming the doshas (faults) with a mind devoid of humility, and who put in as much effort as is required in the place where it is needed, are called Aradhak Atma (worshipping soul). Sutra-1394-1395
In times of fear from water, fire, wild animals that tear flesh, thieves, kings, snakes, Yoginis, ghosts, Yakshas, Rakshasas, Kshatras, Pisachas, death, disease, pain, obstacles, hindrances, livelihood, forests, the sea, evil thoughts, bad omens, etc., remember this Vidya (knowledge).
(This Vidya is in the form of Mantra-Akshar (sacred syllables). The Mantra-Akshar cannot be translated. For the original Mantra-Akshar, refer to our Agam Suttanni, Part-39, Mahanishith Agam, page 120.) Sutra-1396
By properly chanting this excellent Vidya, one should chant it and establish it in seven places: one head, two arms, the abdomen, and the soles of the feet, using seven Aksharas (syllables) as follows: "Om" on the head, "Ku" on the right shoulder, "Ru" on the right abdomen, "Ku" on the right sole, "Le" on the left sole, "Swa" on the left abdomen, and "Ha" on the left shoulder.
