## Agam Sutra 39, Chhed Sutra-5, 'Mahanishith'
To enter the lineage of a womb, which is enveloped in the most unbearable, intense, deep, dark darkness, smeared with blood, fat, pus, vomit, bile, phlegm, foul-smelling, impure flowing, and filled with lungs, excrement, urine, etc., causing distress, extremely severe, fierce, and terrifying with wrathful suffering, is indeed sorrow, distress, disease, and terror. It is grief, anguish, and anxiety, causing unrest. Due to this unrest, it leads to the non-attainment of desired aspirations. Due to the non-attainment of desired aspirations, five types of obstructing karma arise.
Where five types of karma arise, there arises the first poverty, which is the root of all suffering. Where there is poverty, there are many forms of suffering like disgrace, false accusations, defamation, and stigma. When such suffering arises, the being becomes shameful, blameworthy, contemptible, causing casteism, creating obstacles, and defeated by all. Such a being is far removed from right faith, knowledge, conduct, and other virtues. The human birth becomes futile, or one completely loses faith in religion.
Therefore, one becomes completely detached from right faith, knowledge, conduct, and other virtues. One cannot stop the inflow of karma. One cannot close the door of inflow. One becomes the abode of great sinful karma. One becomes bound by karma. Being bound, one becomes subservient like a prisoner in a jail, trapped in the web of all inauspiciousness and misfortune. It is very difficult to escape from this, as one cannot break the knot of harsh, deep, bound, touched, and exhausted karma. Due to this, one suffers various physical and mental pains in the states of one-sense, two-sense, three-sense, four-sense, five-sense, hellish, animal, and human. One has to suffer such misery.
Therefore, O Gautam! It is said that there are some souls who, while residing in the Gachch of the Gītārt, receive the benefits of the Guru-kula, but do not receive any benefits. Sutra-694
O Bhagvant! Are there any Gachch who practice falsehood? O Gautam! Any Gachch who are ignorant and oppose the teachings are surely engaged in the practice of falsehood. O Bhagvant! What is the command that makes a Gachch a devotee? O Gautam! The command of the Gachch is stated as the transfer of the infinite number of places. In which there is a devotee. Sutra-695
O Bhagvant! In the transfer of the infinite number of places of the Gachch, is there any transfer that, even if it repeatedly violates the rules or commands due to negligence, carelessness, or exception, is still considered a devotee? O Gautam! Surely, that is not a devotee. O Bhagvant! Why do you say so? O Gautam! The Tirthankara performs the pilgrimage, and then the Tirthankara, with four castes, is established in the Shraman Sangh Gachch. In the Gachch, right faith, knowledge, and conduct are also established. This right faith, knowledge, and conduct are worthy of refuge in the highest respect. They are also suitable for the three special services in the highest service. Anyone who opposes these refuge-worthy, respectable, and serviceable, in any way, in any place, in any Gachch, is a destroyer of the right path, a preacher of the wrong path. In the Gachch where the right path is destroyed and the wrong path is preached, surely there is a violation of the command. Therefore, O Gautam! It is said that in the infinite number of places of the Gachch, there is a transfer of rules. Anyone in the Gachch who violates the rules or commands in one or more places is a violator of the single command.
