Verse 7.31
तीर्थिका च बहिधानुगताश् च क्रेयुर् अप्रतिमशासनदोषं ।
धूमकालिकम् इति श्रमणस्य एतत् एव च तु रक्षणीयं नो ॥ ३१ ॥
tīrthikā ca bahidhānugatāś ca kreyur apratimaśāsanadoṣaṃ |
dhūmakālikam iti śramaṇasya etat eva ca tu rakṣaṇīyaṃ no || 31 ||
“For, if you did, sectarians and heretics would arise and do harm to the peerless doctrine. This is the occasion of the Shramana’s cremation, and that is all we are concerned with. (31)
