## Āgama Sūtra 39, Chhedasūtra-5, 'Mahānishīth'
The student/purpose/sūtrāṅka had observed the vow of silence throughout his life from the teachings of his guru. Secondly, he had explained the three great sins, which are as follows: Apkāya, Agnikäya, and Maithuna. All three should be strictly avoided by the sādhus. He had also completely avoided them. Due to this, he became eligible for enlightenment.
Now, one day, O Gautama! The Kumar Maharshi, surrounded by many disciples, set out towards the peak of the Sammet Shikhar mountain to leave his body in the final moments. While traveling, he reached the same path where the princess, Cakṣukushīla, was. The news was given in the royal palace, and the king came to the beautiful garden to pay his respects. The king sat in a suitable place on the ground with his family, after paying respects to the Kumar Maharshi. The Muniśvara gave a detailed discourse on Dharma. After listening to the Dharma discourse, the king, along with his family, became ready to accept renunciation.
O Gautama! The king accepted the initiation here. After accepting initiation, he engaged in severe, heroic, fierce, painful, difficult penance and restraint practices. He lived without attachment to any substance, place, time, or emotion. He spent some time being indifferent to the bodily pleasures of the Chakravarti Indra and other celestial beings, or to worldly pleasures. While traveling, he reached near the peak of the Sammet mountain.
After that, the Kumar Maharshi said to the princess, now a Śramaṇī: "O one who performs difficult tasks! With a peaceful mind, from all perspectives, with your inner self, give me a complete, pure, and free-from-fault criticism quickly, because today we are determined to leave our bodies and are like arrows aimed at the target. We have seen the benefit of removing the fault by performing atonement according to the pure intention, as taught by the Bhagavant, through faultless criticism, condemnation, reproach, and truthful words. After that, the princess, now a Śramaṇī, gave criticism according to the proper method. After that, the Mahāmuni reminded her of the remaining criticism: "When you were sitting in the royal court, you had looked at me with a householder's emotion, with attachment and desire. Give me criticism for that, O one who performs difficult tasks! So that you can achieve the highest purity."
After that, she felt remorse in her mind and thought: "Because of my sinful nature, which is a house of fickle intentions and deceit, and because I am always dwelling in the community of these sādhvīs, perhaps my reputation will be that of a princess, Cakṣukushīla, or one who casts an evil eye?" Thinking this, O Gautama! The blameless Śramaṇī said: "O Bhagavant! I did not look at you with an attached gaze because I did not desire you. But, as you are adorned with the best form, youthful beauty, grace, radiance, and the collection of auspicious qualities, and with an abundance of knowledge and wisdom, I looked at you with an attached gaze to measure you, to see if you were truly indifferent to worldly pleasures and patient. But I did not look at you with the desire of attachment. Or, if there is criticism, what other fault is there? I will also have to do this. What is the benefit of going to the Tirtha and engaging in deceit and trickery?"
The Kumar Muni thought: "If someone were to give a golden coin to a woman who has experienced great emotional turmoil, then one could understand how fickle the nature of women is in the world. Or, it is very difficult to understand their inner feelings."
Thinking this, the Muni said: "What kind of deceit was found in the fickle time? Alas! The fickle, unstable, and restless nature of these wicked, fickle women. They do not establish their minds on one thing, they do not keep their minds steady for even a moment. Alas! They are born wicked, alas! They do all kinds of wrong things, they are deceitful, they are prone to slip-ups, alas! They increase their disgrace and ill-repute, alas! They are proud of their intentions to commit sinful deeds. They will have to go to hell, where they will suffer terrible itching in the darkness of the afterlife, frying in boiling oil, being cooked in a Kumbhi pot, and other such torments. Without fear, a fickle woman exists."
In this way, the Kumar Śramaṇa felt great remorse in his mind. He did not accept her words, but he was a devotee of Dharma.
