That ascetic (Muni), who is conversant with the purport of the canonical works starting from the Āvaśyaka up to the Sūtrakṛtāṅga. (Avaśyaka, Dasavaikālika, Uttarādhyayana, Ācārāṅga, Sūtrakṛtāṅga). After having studied Sūtrakṛtāṅga, one may undertake the further studies of the meaning of other scripture, except the Chedasūtras: then he is considered as 'the kalpika' of the meaning of that whole gamut of scriptures which he has studied. (Even after studying the Chedasūtras, so long as the disciple is apariṇata, he is not taught the meaning. After becoming pariṇata, he becomes kalpika of the meaning).
