## Āgama Sūtra 39, Cheda Sūtra-5, ‘Mahānishīth’
Study/Purpose/Sūtrāṅka Sūtra - 792-793
Those who commit corruption, those who neglect corruption, and those who remain on the wrong path are the destroyers of the three paths. If the Ācārya remains on a false path, and creates a model of the wrong path, then surely the group of Bhavyas will follow that false path, therefore do not even take the shadow of a wrong-path Ācārya. Sūtra - 794-795
In this world, one should understand that a being who is suffering is awakened and established on the path, and he has caused the proclamation of the Amari Padha in the world of Devas and Asuras. In the past, present, and future, there have been, are, and will be such great souls whose feet are worthy of being worshipped by the beings of the world, and whose time is spent in solitary effort to benefit others. O Gautama! This has happened in the past, from time immemorial. It will also happen in the future, that the mere remembrance of their names will surely bring about atonement.
Sūtra-796-799
This kind of Gaccha arrangement will continue until the time of the Duppasah Suri, but anyone who refutes it in the middle of that time should surely be known as an eternal wanderer. The atonement that is incurred by the one who destroys the Gaccha arrangement is the same as the atonement incurred by the one who destroys the perfect, non-troublesome, Siddhi-pada, which is for the benefit and well-being of all beings in the world. Therefore, one who has an equal mind towards enemies and friends, who is eager to benefit others, who desires well-being, and who is himself obedient to the Ācārya's commands, should not violate the Ācārya's commands.
Sūtra-800-803
Many Ācāryas, attached to the three Garvas, even today cannot attain the true path of Bodhi, by violating the Gaccha arrangement. Others will also wander in the four Gati-rupa Bhavas and in the world for countless times, but will not attain Bodhi. And they will remain in the painful world for a long time. O Gautama! There is not even a space as small as the tip of a hair in the fourteen-raj-praman Lokas where this being has not experienced death countless times. There are eighty-four lakh places where beings are born, and there is not a single Yoni, O Gautama!, where all beings have not been born countless times.
Sūtra-804-806
A red-hot needle, like fire, is applied to the body, and the pain that is felt is eight times greater in the womb. When a being is born from the womb and comes out, the pain of being squeezed through the Yoni-yantra is crores or kroda-krores times greater than the pain of being born and the pain of death. At the time of death, one forgets even his own caste in the experience of pain.
Sūtra-807-810
O Gautama! If one remembers the suffering of the consequences of wandering in different types of Yonis, one cannot live. Oh! Leave aside the matter of birth, old age, death, misfortune, and disease. But who, with a great intellect, will not be ashamed of the womb and not be awakened? Who can bear to be in a womb that is full of blood, dirty, foul-smelling, full of excrement, and not even pleasant to look at, and that has a foul odor? Therefore, one should not violate the command that leads to the destruction of solitary suffering and the attainment of solitary happiness. Where will happiness come to one who violates the command?
