A. 239. Gau ama! Five types, viz., agama, śruta, ajñā, dhārana and jita. Of these five, one who has the knowledge of the agamic texts should behave as per the agamas. One who does not have the knowledge of the agamas but has the knowledge of śuia (lesser texts), should behave as per śruta. One who does not have the śruta knowledge, but knows the orders of the previous preceptors) or their rulings, should behave as per these orders. One who does not have the knowledge of these orders, but receives the guidance (from some monk), he should behave as per guidance (beld out by the monk). When even guidance is not available, one should mould his behaviour as per his own discretion. Thus one should follow one or the other of these five in moulding bis behaviour depending on one's access to anyone of these five items as per priority indicated.
