NIYAMSARA.
142. He, who does not depend (upon others) is called avasha (Independent). The action of an Avasha should be known to be Ávashyaka (Independent action). This is the reason, the way and the (Ideal, i.e.,) liberation from material bodies. It is the derivation (Nirukti) (of the word ávashyaka).
वट्टदि जो सो समणो अण्णवसो होदि असुहभावेण । तम्हा तस्स दु कम्मं आवस्सयलक्खणं ण हवे ॥ १४३॥ वर्तते यः स श्रमणोऽन्यवशो भवत्यशुभभावेन । तस्मात्तस्य तु कम्ावश्यकलक्षणं न भवेत् ॥ १४३ ॥
143. A saint, who engages himself in evil thoughtactivities, and depends upon other (objects), does not therefore possess the distinctive feature of Independent Action.
जो चरदि संजदो खलु सुहभावे सो हवेइ अण्णवसो। तम्हा तस्स दु कम्मं आवासयलक्खणं ण हवे ॥१४४॥ यश्चरति संयतः खलु शुभभावे स भवेदन्यवशः । तस्मात्तस्य तु कर्मावश्यकलक्षणं न भवेत् ॥ १४४ ॥
144. A saint who engages himself in good thoughtactivities, also depends upon other (objects) and therefore, his action (too) does not possess the feature of independence.
दव्वगुणपज्जयाणं चित्तं जो कुणइ सोवि अण्णवसो। मोहान्धयारववगयसमणा कहयंति एरिसयम् ॥ १४५॥ द्रव्यगुणपर्यायायणां चित्तं यः करोति सोऽप्यन्यवशः । मोहान्धकारव्यपगतश्रमणाः कथयन्तीदृशम् ॥ १४५ ॥
145. Even he, who meditates upon the attributes and the modifications of substances, is not independent, such has been said by the saints, who are free from the darkness of delusion.
