Some Aspects of Indian Culture
८३ पवणाहयजलकल्लोलसच्छह विहवसंपय दलु।
धीरच्चिय केइ कुणति एत्थ पुन्नज्जण' पुरिसा ॥ (६६) ८४ खरपवणविहुयतामरसचंचल' जीविय करेऊण |
धीर च्चिय सुहविमुह करेंति तवसंजमुज्जाय ।। (६७) ८५ पवणुद्धयजलहितर गभंगुर जो धण' कि नाऊण ।
न हु धीरयरहिया उच्छति तवभरधुरुव्वहणे ।। (६८) ८६ घणविवर तरखणदिट्टनदृविज्जुसमंमि सयणमि ।
रज्जति न सप्पुरिसा परलोयकएण जे धीरा ।। ६९।। ८७ कुसकोडिबिंदुसंठियसुचंचल स्वसपय नाउ ।
धीरा गिण्हंति जए विरईरयणं अणग्धेय ॥७॥ ८८ इय जीवियघणजोव्वणसयणसमागमकयाई सोक्खाइ।
मन्नति असाराई धीर च्चिय संजमभिमुहा ।।७१॥ (५.६४; ५.६६-७१) 83. Seeing the prosperity and wealth as resembling the waves of water thrown above by the (breezes of) wind, it is only the brave persons who (try to) earn merit on this earth. (66).
84. Considering life as transient as the flower shaken by a strong gale, it is only the brave persons who make effort for penance and self-control becoming averse to happiness (67).
85. Knowing the youth to be as fleeting as the waves of the ocean pushed up by the blasts of the wind, the persons who are devoid of bravery do not become enthusiastic for carrying the yoke in the form of the burden of penance. (68).
86. Good persons who are brave do not become attached, for the sake of the next world, to the relatives who are as fickle as the lightning which becomes visible and invisible by turns every moment as it is seen in the interior of the clouds. (69).
87. Taking the abundance of beauty to be as evanescent as the drop of water resting on the tip of the blade of Durva grass, the brave persons accept the priceless jewel in the form of nonattachment. (70).
88. Thus the brave persons who have become inclined to selfcontrol consider as worthless all the forms of happiness accruing from life, wealth, youth and the association with the the relatives. (71). (5.64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71].
नाण (Knowledge) ९० न य नाणदीवरहिओ कज्जाज्जाइं जाणई पुरिसो।
सो तस्स जाणणत्थं पढम नाणं बियाणेज्जा ।। (२.३) 90. A man who has no lamp of knowledge, does not distinguish between a deed and a misdeed. Therefore, one must get the knowledge in order to know this, (2,3).
