: 337: नारकादिषु पुनः पुनर्धमणं संसारस्तस्य च मूलमेताः सप्तनिवदृष्टयो निर्ग्रन्थरूप मात्रेण । इतिनियुक्तिगाथार्थः ॥२६१६॥
D. C. Theories of all the Seven Nihnavas do not, in any way, lead to the attainment of Mokşa, but they become the rootcause of the sainsāra and its cycle of birth, old age, death, and re-birth. They happen to be mendicants only outwardly.
Then the questiun arises as to whether Nihnavas should be considered as nicndicants, or as followers of some other religion, or as householders. The author explains that they are real mendicants. Really speaking, food meant for a mendicant is not acceptable to another mendicant. Nihnavas do not follow this rule.

Trans. 8. Whenever and wherever whatever is prepared for the (Nihnavas) who transgress the prescribed rules, should be alternatively given up, (as they affect) the original, as well as, the subsidiary predicaments. 2617.
