This document is the sixth part of a series titled "Sachornik Aagam Suttaani," focusing on the Jain text "Dashavaikaalik Niryukti Evam Churni." The publication is attributed to Param Anand Shwe Mu Pu Jain Sangh Paldi Ahmedabad, with the primary researcher being Pujya Anand Sagarsurishwarji Maharaj Saheb and the compiler being Muni Deepratnasagarji. The project was inspired by Acharya Shri Harshsagar Suriji Maharaj Saheb and fully funded by the Shri Param Anand Shwetambar Murtipujak Jain Sangh.

The text itself delves into the "Dashavaikaalik Sutta," which is part of the Jain Agamas. It includes the "Niryukti" (a commentary or elucidation) attributed to Bhadrabahuswami and the "Churni" (a further explanatory commentary) compiled by Jinasuri. The introductory pages express deep reverence for Jain Tirthankaras and spiritual leaders, particularly highlighting the contributions of Acharya Shri Anand Sagarsurishwarji Maharaj Saheb and Acharya Shri Devendrasagar Surishwarji Maharaj Saheb.

The core of the document provides a detailed commentary on the "Dashavaikaalik Sutta," which discusses various aspects of Jain monastic conduct, ethics, and philosophy. The text is presented in a methodical manner, with clear headings and references to specific studies (adhyayan), sections (uddeshak), and verses (sutra/gatha).

The Churni section, in particular, offers in-depth explanations of the verses and concepts presented in the Niryukti and the original text. It uses a question-and-answer format, often involving the disciple (Shishya) asking questions and the preceptor (Acharya) providing elaborate answers. The Churni explores various philosophical and practical aspects of Jainism, including:

• The nature of reality: Discussions on soul (Jiva) and non-soul (Ajiva) entities, their characteristics, and the means of liberation.
• Ethical conduct: Detailed explanations of vows (mahavratas and anuvratas), prohibitions (prativarja), virtues like non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness (satya), non-stealing (asteya), celibacy (brahmacharya), and non-possession (aparigraha).
• Spiritual practices: Emphasis on internal disciplines like penance (tapas), meditation (dhyana), and self-control (samyama).
• The path to liberation: The text outlines the steps and principles necessary for achieving moksha (liberation) from the cycle of birth and death.
• Explanations of key terms and concepts: The Churni clarifies the meaning of various Jain philosophical terms and provides illustrative examples, often through stories and analogies.
• The importance of a Guru: The text stresses the significance of adhering to the teachings and guidance of a qualified spiritual teacher (Guru).
