[39] Mahanishith Chhed Sutra-6 - Hindi Translation
Study-1-Shalyodharan Sutra-1
Salutations to the Tirthankaras, salutations to the Arhant Bhagavants.
I have heard from the Ayushman Bhagavant that, here, any Sadhu or Sadhvi who engages in a deceptive action, should, according to the 'Mahanishith' Shruta Skandha Shruta, which is extremely profound, extremely excellent, and the ultimate truth and essence, be free from all three types of (mind, speech, body) and three types of (doing, causing to do, approving) in all ways, and free from internal and external impurities, for the benefit of the soul,
should engage in extremely severe, heroic, intense, and arduous austerities and practices, completely abandoning all attachments to distractions, spending all their time, both night and day, free from distractions, constantly in a state of sorrow, with unwavering, great faith, devotion, and detachment, without hiding their strength, power, effort, and courage, without feeling shame, with a body that has renounced possessions, with a focused mind, repeatedly immersing themselves in austerities, practices, etc. Sutra-2
But, many distractions in the name of attachment, aversion, delusion, objects, passions, knowledge attachments, prosperity, taste, pride of the three types, anger-filled meditation, sorrowful meditation, falsehood, wrong belief, non-restraint (of mind, speech, body), evil association, indulgence in non-righteous things, laziness, etc., gossiping, falsely accusing, quarreling, being intoxicated by the eight types of pride (caste, etc.), envy, arrogance, anger, possessiveness, ego, many types of darkness-filled heart,
should not be present without closing the broken doors of the flow of impurities, which are like a thick, intense, extremely fierce, heavy, smooth, sinful karma-dirt, which leads to violence, theft, lying, sexual misconduct, attachment, intention, etc., which are the beginning of inauspicious results.
Having said this, Sadhus and Sadhvis should not be involved in the flow of impurities. Sutra-3
(When Sadhus or Sadhvis know their faults, then) even for a moment, a second, a Muhurta, a blink of an eye, half a blink, or even a fraction of a half blink, the time that is free from impurities is like this. Sutra-4-6
When I become completely calm and then become detached from all objects, abandoning attachment, aversion, and delusion, then the soul, which experiences devotion, should think with a focused mind, in the right way, about the path to the afterlife, "Oh! Where will I go after death? What Dharma have I attained? What vows and rules do I have? What austerities have I practiced? What conduct have I adopted? What have I donated?" Sutra-7-9
What will enable me to attain happiness and prosperity in heaven or the human realm, in a low, middle, or high family? Or what is the benefit of being sorrowful? I know the soul well, I know my bad character, my faults, and my virtues. In this way, I will go to the hellish underworld, which is filled with intense darkness, where I will have to endure thousands of sufferings for a long time.
