## Agam Sutra 39, Chhed Sutra-5, 'Mahanishith'
**Study/Purpose/Sutra Number**
Triphala, Guggul, and other medicines had to be consumed, constant cleansing was necessary, incurable, no relief, intense terrifying suffering, like being cooked in fire, enduring such difficult suffering, the human existence they had attained became unsuccessful.
In that way, O Gautam! The soul of Savdhacharya, after enduring the suffering of birth and death in the fourteen Rajalokas for an infinite time, was born as a human in the Avarvideha. There, due to the influence of the world, he received the awakening to go and pay homage to the Tirthankara Bhagvant, and after accepting initiation, he attained Siddhi in the time of the 23rd Tirthankara, Parshvanath.
O Gautam! Savdhacharya experienced such suffering. O Bhagvant! Such unbearable, intense, terrifying suffering befell him. He had to endure it. For such a long time, why did he have to endure all this suffering? O Gautam! At that time, he spoke as if saying, "The Agam has been explained, including Utsarg and Apavad. It is not explained in isolation, but through Anekanta. However, the consumption of Apkay, the commencement of Teukay, and sexual intercourse, these three are prohibited in any other place, in isolation, or with certainty, or firmly, or completely, for the sake of self-benefit. If this Sutra is violated here, the path of Samyag Marg is destroyed, the path of Unmarg flourishes, and due to the sin of disobedience, one becomes an Anantasansari."
O Bhagvant! Did Savdhacharya engage in sexual intercourse? O Gautam! He did and did not engage in sexual intercourse, meaning he did engage in sexual intercourse, but also did not. O Bhagvant! Why do you say it in two ways? O Gautam! The Arya, at that time, touched his head to his feet, and when he touched, he did not shrink back his feet. Because of this, O Gautam! It is said that he engaged in sexual intercourse, but also did not. O Bhagvant! Is there such a bound, touched, withdrawn karma bandha that can liberate one from such intense suffering just because of this reason? O Gautam! It is so. There is no difference. O Bhagvant! He had accumulated Tirthankara name karma. He had only one birth left, and he had crossed the ocean of births. Then why did he wander in the world for an infinite time? O Gautam! Because of the fault of his carelessness. Therefore, the Gachhadhipati, who has understood well the good nature of the scriptures that desire liberation from births, should remain completely and entirely free from carelessness in the place of restraint. Thus, I tell you.
