अष्टकप्रकरणम्
ataḥ sarvaprayatnena mālinyaṁ śāsanasya tu. prekşāvatā na kartavyaṁ pradhānām pāpasādhanam.
Therefore, an intelligent one should try his best, not to malign the Jina-order. This ( defilement ) is the prime cause of the sin.
asmacchāsanamālinyājjātau jātau vigarhitam. pradhānbhāvādātmānam sadā dūrīkarotyālam.
Due to this malignity of the Jina-order, he is doomed to births after birth and always retreats himself far away from the prime nature of the soul.
kartavyā connatiḥ satyāṁ Śaktāviha niyogataḥ. avandhyam bījameșā yattattvataḥ sarvasampadām.
The one should inevitably try to elevate ( Jinaorder ) if capable of, because it always brings reward and virtually brings all kinds of good fortunes.
ata unnatimāpnoti jātau jātau hitodayām. kşayaṁ nayati mālinyam niyamātsarvavastusu.
Thus, a person ( by means of the elevation of the Jina-order ) attains elevation, originating auspicious bondage in corresponding births and this ( laudation ) surely eliminates the malignity regarding all matters.
