Sanat-Sujata said Stained asceticism is that which has for its faults the twelve (vices) with anger at the beginning as also the thirteen descriptions of wickedness, O king. The twelve virtues having righteousness at the beginning which are known to the twice-born are also included in the code of the Pitris.
