(Amga
suttāņi II, Bhagavai 1.161,170) 9. Ācārānga Cūrņi, p.191 : te puņa sissă duvihā-sitā ya asitā, tattha sitā
baddhā, jam bhantam grhasthā, asiyā sāhu, abaddhā kalattātipāsehim. 10. The state of mind of a sādhaka which flows from despondency is
described in the following two categories of hardships viz. prajñā parīşaha and ajñāna-parīsaha discussed in the Uttarādhyayana Sūtra (2/40-43): “A monk should never succumb to the onslaught of despondency due to ignorance by thinking thus: It is undoubtedly myself who, in the past had indulged in actions which did engender ignorance as their consequence: it is on account of them that I know nothing, (not even how to answer) any question put to me by anyone.(40). "The karma which as its consequence engenders ignorance, and which even if accumulated in the past, starts giving its fruits on rising.” — knowing thus the consequences of the karma, a muni should console his own soul. (41). "I abstained from sexual intercourse and curbed my senses and mind --- all this has been in vain. For I do not know directly or positively whether righteousness is beneficial or detrimental. (42). "I practise austerities and religious observance. I have also undertaken special course of sādhanā. In spite of following such (higher) code of sādhanā, I have failed to obliterate the veils of karma obscuring knowledge." (43) Muni should never think in such terms." Also such a state of mind is comparable with the first duhkha-sayyā (i.e. living in gloom) described in the Sthānanga Sūtra (4/450). The next aphorism is meant to boost up the faith of a sādhaka and
dispel his gloom. 11. Amgasuttăņi II, Bhagavas 1.131,132 : ‘se nūņam bhamte! tameva
saccam ņīsamkam jam jeņehim paveiyam?' ‘hamtā goyamā! tameva saccam ņīsamkam, jam jeņehim paveiyam.' 'se ņūņam bhamte! evam manam dhāremīņe, evam pakaremāņe, evam citthemāne, evam samvaremāne āņāe ārāhae bhavati?í
