## Agam Sutra 39, Chhed Sutra-5, 'Mahanishith'
**Study/Purpose/Sutra Number** O Gautama! If any sadhu-sadhvi, through divine, human or animal association, engages in evil intentions regarding things like handcraft, etc., with a conscious mind, and indulges in sexual intercourse through mind, speech, and body, inspires others to do the same, considers those who engage in it as good, and uses artificial and natural tools to engage in three-fold sexual intercourse, or encourages or approves of it, then that sadhu-sadhvi is a bad person with terrible consequences, ugly, extremely bad, whose face is not even worth looking at, a consumer of the path of the world, far from the path of liberation, a doer of great sins, not worthy of being worshipped. Not worthy of being worshipped. Not worthy of being considered good by those who worship. Not worthy of the three types of worship, or until they attain purity through atonement, if others worship them, then do not worship them yourself.
**O Bhagvant!** What do those who worship such people attain? **O Gautama!** They become a great aspirant of the great Tirthankara Bhagvant, who possesses eighteen thousand sheelangs. And relying on the results of that aspiration, they attain endless worldly existence. **Sutra-413-415**
**O Gautama!** There are some beings who can renounce women well. They also give up sexual intercourse. Yet, they cannot give up the attachment to possessions. To the extent they have attachment to possessions, whether conscious, unconscious, or both, whether much or little, they enjoy them, to that extent they are called 'Sangwala'. A 'Sangwala' being cannot practice the three disciplines of knowledge, etc., therefore renounce possessions. **Sutra-416**
**O Gautama!** There are also beings who renounce possessions, but do not renounce 'Aarammbh', they are also called those who attain the cycle of existence. **Sutra-417**
**O Gautama!** If a being is ready to begin, and engages in actions like 'Sanghatan' etc., of a one-sensed or multi-sensed being, then **O Gautama!** Understand the type of sinful karma they bind. **Sutra-418-420**
If a senseless being is forcibly, unwillingly, for a short time, brought into contact with another being through hands, feet, or other tools like a stick, etc., or if someone causes such contact, or considers the one who does it as good, **O Gautama!** When this karma, bound in this way, arises in the being's birth, then they suffer its consequences with great distress for six months. The same karma, bound through forceful contact, is suffered for twelve years. If they suffer intense remorse, then for a thousand years, and if they suffer even more intense remorse, then for ten thousand years. If they suffer intense 'Kilamana', then for a hundred thousand years, and if they suffer even more intense 'Kilamana', then for ten lakh years, they suffer the consequences of that karma. If they die, then they suffer the pain of that karma for a crore years. Understand the same for beings with three, four, and five senses, **O Gautama!**
The destruction of a subtle earth-bodied being is called 'Alparambh' by all Kevalis. **O Gautama!** The destruction of a subtle earth-bodied being is called 'Maharambh' by all Kevalis. **Sutra-421**
**O Gautama!** In this way, intense karmas accumulate in infinite measure. The soul is bound by the karma that it initiates. **Sutra-422-423**
Those who initiate bind karmas in the bound, touched, and removed states, therefore one should renounce 'Aarammbh'. One who has renounced 'Aarammbh', which brings an end to all beings, from earth-bodied beings onwards, in all ways, is...
