## Agam Sutra 39, Chhed Sutra-5, 'Mahanishith'
**Study/Purpose/Sutra Number Sutra-742**
The Gachchha where the mutual salutation ritual between the young and old is maintained, where the rules of the Mandalika like Pratikramana are known expertly, where there are gurus with unblemished conduct, and where there are sadhus who are constantly striving to perform intense tapasya.
**Sutra-743**
The Gachchha where the eight karmas, which are worshipped by the celestial beings, are absent, and where there is no deviation from the commands of the Tirthankara Bhagavants like Rishabhadeva.
**Sutra-744**
O Gautam! The Tirthankara Bhagavants who establish the Tirtha and then their rule, O Gautam! consider that as the Sangha. And within the Sangha, there are Gachchhas, and within the Gachchhas, there are the Tirthas of knowledge, vision, and conduct.
**Sutra-745**
Without right vision, there cannot be knowledge. If there is knowledge, then vision is present everywhere. Vision is the worship of conduct in knowledge. This means whether there is conduct or not.
**Sutra-746**
A knower without vision or conduct wanders throughout the world. But one who has conduct is definitely liberated, there is no doubt about it.
**Sutra-747**
Knowledge is recognized by illuminating the object. Tapasya purifies the soul from karma. Restraint brings about the pure inclination of mind, speech, and body. If even one of these three is lacking, there is no liberation.
**Sutra-748**
If those three, knowledge, etc., are in their own form, then there are ten types of Yati Dharma like forgiveness, etc. The Gachchha is where one practices each of those aspects.
**Sutra-749**
The Gachchha where they do not mentally grieve even at the time of death for the earth, water, fire, air, plants, and various types of Trasa beings.
**Sutra-750**
The Gachchha where even a drop of water with consciousness, even if the throat is parched, even if there is intense thirst, even if it is the time of death, the Muni does not desire even a drop of water with consciousness.
**Sutra-751**
The Gachchha where even if there is a disease like a boil, diarrhea, vomiting, or any other strange death-related illness, they do not encourage anyone to create fire.
**Sutra-752**
The Gachchha where they abandon such Aryas like Acharyas, etc., who possess knowledge, from a distance of thirteen hands.
