“Mendicants, Jain ascetics possess ten bad qualities. What ten? They’re faithless and unethical, without conscience or prudence, and devoted to untrue persons. They glorify themselves and put others down. They’re attached to their own views, holding them tight, and refusing to let go. They’re deceptive, with corrupt wishes and bad friends. Jain ascetics possess these ten bad qualities.”
