Agam Sutra 39, Chhed Sutra-5, 'Mahanishith'
Study/Purpose/Sutra Number: Those who are free from birth and death, old age, all kinds of poverty and sorrow. Sutra- 424-426
O Gautam! There are also beings in the world who, even after knowing this, cannot be inclined to the worship of the right path due to their solitary, peaceful nature. A being may engage in the right path and practice severe and heroic restraint, but if he does not give up these five things that will be said to him, then the restraint he has practiced is all in vain. 1. Kusheel, 2. Oosann-Shithilpan such a difficult restrained life? They might say. 3. Yathachhandaswachhand, 4. Sabal-Dushit Charitrawale, 5. Pasattho. Do not even look at these five. Sutra-427
The path taught by the omniscient Bhagvant destroys all sorrow. And one who is trapped in worldly pride, who practices lax conduct, and who abandons the path to liberation taught by Bhagvant. Sutra-428
Consider anyone who does not accept, does not take interest in, and contradicts even a single word or a single step taught by the omniscient Bhagvant to be a false-sighted person. Sutra-429
Knowing this, one should avoid all contact with those five, including seeing them, talking to them, recognizing them, living with them, etc., by all means for the sake of welfare and well-being. Sutra-430
O Bhagvant! You forbid seeing the corrupt in conduct, and then you give them atonement. How can these two things be compatible? Sutra-431
O Gautam! It is very difficult for a corrupt soul to cross the ocean of the world. Therefore, such a soul is certainly given atonement out of compassion. Sutra-432
O Bhagvant! Does atonement break the bondage of hell? O Gautam! Even after doing atonement, many souls have gone to hell. Sutra-433-434
O Gautam! Souls who have earned an infinite world certainly destroy it through atonement, then why don't they break the age of hell? In this abode, nothing is impossible with atonement. Except for one Bodhilabh, nothing is impossible for a being with atonement. Once Bodhilabh is lost, it is difficult to get it back. Sutra-435-436
Apkay Paribhog, Agnigay Aarambh and Mithun Sevan are the ones who bind the Abodhi Labh-Karma, therefore, one should avoid them. Restrained souls should strive to abandon Mithun, Apkay, and Agnigay, which bind Abodhi. Sutra-437
O Bhagvant! If Abodhi Labh happens from the above-mentioned actions, then those householders are always inclined towards such actions. Should they be considered to have failed in adopting Shikshavrata, Gunavrata and Anuvrata?
