syllables, good and auspicious should also be remembered.
Meditating over the other syllables, phrases, etc. collected from the ocean of the canons becomes the cause of liberation.
वीतरागो भवेद्योगी यत्किचिदपि चिन्तयन् । तदेव ध्यानमाम्नातमतोऽन्ये ग्रन्थविस्तराः ॥७९॥ एवं च मन्त्रविद्यानां वर्णेषु च पदेषु च। विश्लेषः क्रमशः कुर्याल्लक्ष्मीभावोपपत्तये ॥८॥
Meaning : Meditation, in the real sense of the ierm, is that which results in detachment for the meditator through the contemplation of any phrase, sentence or words; everything else is unnecessary elaboration of the scriptural works. इति गणधरधुर्याविष्कृतादुद्धृतानि,
प्रवचनजलराशेस्तत्त्वरत्नान्यमूनि । हृदयमुकुरमध्ये धीमतामुल्लसन्तु,
प्रचितभवशतोत्थक्लेशनि शहेतोः ॥८॥ Meaning : May the gems in the form of elemental realities, brought to light by the Ganadharas from the ocean in the form of the canons, shine in the mirror of hearts of the intelligent people and destroy the distress produced in course of hundreds of births.
