SĀRĀVALĪ PRAKĪRNAKA : 33
105.
During one's life a human being enjoys the bounties of eatables, drinks, clothes, flowers, fragrant substances, women, seats, bedding, etc.
106.
Even the person who is given to the pleasures of the body ought to grant the gift of life to the living because it is worth granting.
107.
One who observes austerities, renunciation, vigilance and restraints and ten monastic duties certainly gains a remorseless heavenly birth.
108.
One desirous of heavenly rebirth must listen to the faith propounded by the Lords Jinendra and properly observe the necessary vows. One who does not believe in the right faith cannot gain a heavenly birth.
109.
One who observes various austerities without belief in the faith propounded by the Lords Jinendra, his penance is not regarded as such but only as bodily torment.
110.
The supreme-self cannot be known through the physical sensory cognition. One who gains and realises that supreme knowledge, becomes learned in all the right knowledge.
111.
The action is subservient to the knowledge; the purity of vision depends upon action. Hence, the knowledge preached by the Lords Jina is instrumental in attaining spiritual emancipation.
