XLVI: GACCHACARA PRAKĪRNAKA
Meaning that the monk, who, even after adopting the monastic appearance remains attached to womenfolk and thereby, conrupts the others, who is devoid of right-vision and rightknowledge, is not a monk but an animal.
Although these verses from Acarya Kunda Kunda's works are not identically found in the Gacchācāra Prakīrnaka, it is clear that through these verses Acārya Kunda Kunda also opposed the lax, and comfort-loving tendencies of the corrupt and wilful monks.
In the Svetambara tradition the very first opposition to the laxity and wilfulness of the corrupt monks came from Acarya Haribhadra through his work Sambodha Prakaraṇa. Some of the verses of the Gacchācāra Prakīrṇaka are identical with some of those of the chapter on bad master (Kuguru) in the Sambodh Prakarana. The comparative description of these verses is as follows:
1. Jattha ya muņiņo kayavikkyäini kuvvanti niccamujhattha | Tam Gaccham Guṇasāyara – visam va dūram pariharijjā || (Sambodha Prakarana, verse 45)
Jattha ya munino kayavikkyäim kuvvanti sañjamubbhatthā | Tam Gaccham Guṇasayara! visam va dūram pariharijjā || (Gacchācāra, verse 103)
2. Vatthaimi vivita vannai aisiyasaddaimi dhūvavāsāim | Pahirijjai jatthagane tam Gaccham mulagunamukkam || Jattha ya vikahāiparā kouhalā davvalingino kūrā | Nimmerā nillajjā tam Gaccham jāņa guṇabhattham ||
