SECTION IX 'INJURY DONE TO OTHERS A SIN, PLEASURE GIVEN TO OTHERS VIRTUE AND `INJURY DONE TO ONESELF A VIRTUE, PLEASURE GIVEN
TO ONESELF SIN'
Verses 92-95 पापं ध्रुवं परे दुःखात् पुण्यं च सुखतो यदि। अचेतनाकषायौ च बध्येयातां निमित्ततः ॥१२॥
If it is maintained that sin is necessarily accumulated as a result of causing pain to others while virtue as a result of causing pleasure to others, then even an inanimate entity and even a personage free from all spiritual defilement should possibly suffer bondage inasmuch as both can somehow be instrumental in causing pain and pleasure to others. (92)
अथ नवमः परिच्छेदः परत्र सुखदुःखोत्पादनात् पुण्यपापबन्धैकान्ते कथमचेतनाः क्षीरादयः न बध्येरन् वीतरागा वा ?, तन्निमित्तत्वात् ।।१२।।
पुण्यं ध्रुवं स्वतो दुःखात् पापं च सुखतो यदि। वीतरागो मुनिर्विद्वांस्ताभ्यां युञ्ज्यानिमित्ततः ॥९३॥
If it is maintained that virtue is necessarily accumulated as a result of causing pain to oneself while sin as a result of causing pleasure to oneself, then even a sage free from all attachment should possibly acquire a stock of sins and virtues inasmuch as even such a sage can somehow be instrumental in causing to himself some kind of pain and some kind of pleasure.
