AN.10.78. Nigaṇṭhasutta ("Jains")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants, Jain ascetics have ten bad qualities. What ten? They’re faithless and unethical, without conscience or prudence, and devoted to bad 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 bad desires and bad friends. Jain ascetics have these ten bad qualities.”
