NIYAMSARA.
universal law for the purification of Soul and is called Niyama. The word Sára affixed to the word Niyama emphasises its perfection. The name of the book Niyamasára is thus literally true. णियमं मोक्खउवायो तस्त फलं हवति परमणिव्वाणं । एदेसि तिरह पि य पत्तेयपरूवणा होई॥४॥ नियमो मोक्षोपायस्तस्य फलं भवति परमनिर्वाणम् ।
एतेषां त्रयाणामपि च प्रत्येकप्ररूपणा भवति ॥४॥
4. Niyama (is) the way to liberation ; its fruit is supreme Nirvana. Each of these three, is again described.
अत्तागमतच्चाणं सदहणादो हवेइ सम्मत्तं । ववगयअसेसदोसो सयलगुणप्पा हवे अत्तो॥५॥
प्राप्तागमतत्त्वानां श्रद्धानाद्भवति सम्यक्त्वम् । व्यपगताशेषदोषः सकलगुणात्मा भवेदाप्तः ॥५॥ 5. Belief in the Perfect Souls, the Scriptures and the Principles is Right Belief.
He who is free from all defects and is possessed of all (pure) attributes is the supreme source.
Commentary. In order to find out truth, one must have recourse to true scriptures. True scriptures are only those, which are based upon the preachings of a Supreme being, who is free from all passion and is Omniscient. All other Scriptures must necessarily be incomplete, and misleading. Truth can only be known to and published by, one who knows all that exists, with all possible modifications, past and future, at one and the same time. One who has likes and dislikes, one who can curse or bless, one who can reward or punish, has limitations, is hence imperfect and cannot be Omniscient, the source of knowledge.
छुहतएहभीरुरोसो रागो मोहो चिंता जरा रुजामिच्चू । स्वेदं खेद मदो रइ विरिहयणिदा जणुव्वेगो॥६॥
तुधा तृष्णा भयं रोषो रागो मोहश्चिन्ता जरा रुजा मृत्युः। स्वेदः खेदो मदो रतिः विस्मयनिद्रे जन्मोद्वेगौ ॥ ६ ॥
