## Āgama Sūtra 39, Cheda Sūtra-5, 'Mahānishīth'
**Study/Purpose/Sūtra Number** Such sensory defects always destroy the true path and spread the wrong path. At that time, they commit sins even to the extent of desiring the unbreakable discourse of the all-knowing Tirthankara.
**Sūtra - 835**
O Bhagvant! Which ten auspicious events will occur in the infinite time? O Gautam! At that time, these ten auspicious events will occur. They are as follows: 1.

The assembly of the community of those who are not worthy, who do not take initiation, gathering in the Tirthankara's discourse, 5. The arrival of the moon and the sun along with their vehicles in the Tirthankara's Samavasarana, 6. Krishna Vasudeva going to Aparakanka to bring back Draupadi, when the sound of the conch shell caused the Vasudevas to meet each other out of curiosity, 7.

**Sūtra - 836**
O Bhagvant! If someone, due to some kind of negligence, desires the Jain teachings, can they attain the position of an Ācārya? O Gautam! Whoever, due to some kind of negligence, repeatedly desires, violates, or approves of any other place of discourse, or engages in misconduct, or approves of misconduct, or desires the discourse, due to anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment, aversion, fear, laughter, delusion, or an unknown defect, will not even attain enlightenment, let alone the position of an Ācārya. O Bhagvant! Can an unworthy or a false-sighted person attain the position of an Ācārya? O Gautam! They can, as the example of Angārapuruṣaka etc. shows. O Bhagvant! Can a false-sighted person be established in that position? O Gautam! They can be established.
O Bhagvant! This is certainly a false-sighted person. How can they be identified by what sign? O Gautam! Whoever, for the sake of being free from all attachments, utters all the Samayikas, and consumes food and water with a conscious mind and breath, embraces the Āṇagāra Dharma, and repeatedly consumes or causes others to consume liquor or intoxicating substances, or approves of those who consume them, or refutes any of the nine hidden practices of celibacy taught by a monk or nun, refutes them in mind, speech, or body, or causes others to refute them, or approves of someone else refuting or opposing them, is a false-sighted person. Not only a false-sighted person, but also an Ābhigrāhika false-sighted person.
**Sūtra - 837**
O Bhagvant! If any Ācārya or Gaççanāyaka, due to some kind of reason, repeatedly misrepresents this Nirgrantha discourse in a different way, what kind of fruit will they receive from such an action? O Gautam! They will receive the same kind of bad fruit that the Savadhācārya received. O Gautam! Who was that Savadhācārya? What bad fruit did he receive? O Gautam! In a previous twenty-four, before the twenty-four Tirthankaras of the present infinite time, there was a Dharma Tirthankara who had a body of seven hands in length. In his Tirtha, there were seven wonders. Now, at some point, that Tirthankara Bhagvant attained Nirvana. Then, in due course, recognizing the group of devotees, a scholar of the scriptures, with three kinds of pride, who was restless in liquor, and who was only an Ācārya and Gaççanāyaka in name, gathered wealth from the Śrāvakas, built a temple with a thousand pillars, high, with a sense of ego, in his own name, and lived in it, being a cruel, wicked person with the characteristics of a Duranta.
Despite having strength, power, courage, and determination, he concealed his courage, strength, and power, and abandoned the practice of unrestrained conduct, embracing the practice of daily life, in order to engage in fierce attachment.
