THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS
सम्यक्त्वचरित्राभ्यां तीर्थकराहारकर्मणो बन्धः । योsपदिष्टः समये न नयविदां सोऽपि दोषाय ॥ २१७ ॥
217. Whatever bondage of Tirthankar Karma, or Áhàraka Karma, has been described in the Scripture as due to Right Belief and Conduct, would not appear to be a mistake to those who are learned in the points of view.
सति सम्यक्त्वचरित्रे तीर्थकराहारबन्धकौ भवतः । योगकषाय तस्मात्तत्पुनरस्मिन्नुदासीनम् ॥ २९८ ॥
218. In presence of Right Belief and Conduct, only vibratory activity and passions cause the bondage of Tirthankara and Áháraka Karmas. Therefore they (Right belief and Conduct) are quite unconcerned in this matter.
ननु कथमेव सिद्धयतु देवायुः प्रभृति सत्प्रकृतिबन्धः । सकलजन सुप्रसिद्धो रत्नत्रयधारिणं मुनिवराणाम् ॥ २१६ ॥ रत्नत्रयमिह हेतुर्निर्वाणस्यैव भवति नान्यस्य । आस्रवति यत्तु पुण्यं शुभोपयोगोऽयमपराधः ॥ २२० ॥
219-220. How then is there the bondage of good Karmas like celestial age, etc., to saints following Ratna Traya, ( a fact) well known to all persons, possible.
(The answer is). Ratna Traya is the cause of Nirvána only, and of nothing else. The good Karmas which inflow, are due to the Aparádha, Defect of Shubhopayoga, good thought activity.
एकस्मिन्समवायादत्यन्तविरुद्धकार्ययोरपि हि ।
इह दहति घृतमिति यथा व्यवहारस्तादृशोऽपि रूढिमितः २२१
221. In one (thought activity), distinctly contradictory effects may exist simultaneously. Ordinarily it is said that "Ghee burns" (although it is the heat transmitted in the ghee which burns and not the ghee itself). Similarly, it is so here, from the practical point of view.
