फिर कठिन मनको क्रोधाग्निसे प्रज्वलित किया जाये तो कहना ही क्या है ? फिर भी मुझे उस कर्मकी आवश्यकता नहीं जिससे कि क्षणभंगुर भोग प्राप्त होते हैं || ७९ || मोही जीव केलाके स्तम्भके समान निःसार भोगोंको प्राप्त कर महादुःखसे भरे नरक में पड़ते हैं ||८०|| जिन्हें अपना जीवन अत्यन्त प्रिय है ऐसे जीवोंके समूहको मारकर सुख नामको धारण करनेवाला दुःख ही प्राप्त होता है, अत: उससे क्या लाभ है ? || ८१ || ये प्राणी अरहट (रहट ) की घटी के समान अत्यन्त दुःखी होते हुए संसाररूपी कूपमें निरन्तर घूमते रहते हैं ॥ ८२|| संसारसे निकलने में कारणभूत जिनेन्द्र भगवान्‌के चरण युगलको नमस्कार कर अब मैं अन्य पुरुषके लिए नमस्कार कैसे कर सकता हूँ ? ||८३ || जब पहले मुझे सम्यग्ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ था तब मैंने प्रतिज्ञा की थी कि मैं जिनेन्द्रदेव के चरणकमलोंके सिवाय अन्य किसीको नमस्कार नहीं करूँगा || ८४|| मैं न तो इस प्रतिज्ञाका भंग करना चाहता हूँ और न प्राणियोंकी हिंसा ही । मैं तो मोक्ष प्रदान करनेवाली निर्ग्रन्थ दीक्षा ग्रहण करता हूँ || ८५ ॥ जो हाथ उत्तमोत्तम स्त्रियों के स्तनतटका स्पर्श करनेवाले थे तथा मनोहर रत्नमयी बाजूबन्दोंसे सुशोभित जो भुजाएँ उत्तमोत्तम स्त्रियोंका आलिंगन करनेवाली थीं उन्हें जो मनुष्य शत्रुओं के समक्ष अंजलि बाँधने में प्रयुक्त करता है उस अधमका ऐश्वर्यं कैसा ? और जीवन कैसा ? ||८६-८७।। इस प्रकार कहकर उसने छोटे भाई सुग्रीवको बुलाकर कहा कि हे बालक ! तू राज्यपर प्रतिष्ठित होकर दशाननको नमस्कार कर अथवा न कर और इसके लिए अपनी बहन दे अथवा न दे, मुझे इससे प्रयोजन नहीं। मैं तो आज ही घर से बाहर निकलता हूँ। जो तुझे हितकर मालूम हो वह कर ||८८-८९|| इतना कहकर बाली घरसे निकल गया और गुणोंसे श्रेष्ठ गगनचन्द्र समीप दिगम्बर हो गया ||१०|| अब तो उसने अपना मन परमार्थ में ही लगा रखा था । उसे अनेक ऋद्धि आदि अभ्युदय प्राप्त हुए थे । वह एक शुद्ध भावमें ही सदा रत रहता था, परीषहोंके सहन करनेमें शूरवीर था, सम्यग्दर्शनसे निर्मल था अर्थात् शुद्ध सम्यग्दृष्टि था, उसकी आत्मा सदा सम्यग्ज्ञानमें लीन रहती थी, वह सम्यक् चारित्रमें तत्पर रहता था और मोहसे रहित हो अनुप्रेक्षाओंके द्वारा आत्माका चिन्तवन करता रहता था । ९१ - ९२ ॥ सूक्ष्म जीवोंसे रहित तथा निर्मल आचारके धारी महामुनियोंसे सेवित धर्माराधनके योग्य भूमियोंमें ही वह विहार करता था । १. क्रोधाग्नि ज्वलितं म । २. अरहट्ट ब. । ३. सदृशं ख., सदृशे म. ।

The Ninth Chapter

What then, if the mind is inflamed by the fire of anger? What is the use of actions that bring about fleeting pleasures? || 79 || Having obtained these pleasures, which are like the pith of a banana tree, deluded beings fall into hell, filled with great suffering. || 80 || What is the benefit of inflicting pain on a group of beings who hold their lives dear, and then claiming to have gained happiness? || 81 || These beings, like the buckets of an *arhat* (water-lifting device), are constantly revolving in the well of existence, filled with great suffering. || 82 || Having bowed down to the feet of the Jinas, who are the cause of liberation from this world, how can I bow down to anyone else? || 83 || When I was enlightened, I made a vow that I would not bow down to anyone other than the lotus feet of the Jinas. || 84 || I will not break this vow, nor will I harm any living beings. I accept the *pravrajya* (renunciation), which grants liberation. || 85 || Those hands that were fit to touch the breasts of the most beautiful women, and those arms that were adorned with beautiful jeweled bracelets and were fit to embrace the most beautiful women, are now used by that man to fold his hands in submission to his enemies. What kind of wealth does he have? What kind of life does he have? || 86-87 || Saying this, he called his younger brother Sugriva and said, "Listen, my dear boy! You are now the king, so bow down to Dasanana or don't, give him your sister or don't, it doesn't matter to me. I am leaving home today. Do what you think is best." || 88-89 || Saying this, Bali left his home and became a *digambar* (sky-clad), like the moon in the sky, who is superior in virtues. || 90 || He had now dedicated his mind to the ultimate truth. He had attained many *abhyudaya* (spiritual progress) such as *riddhis* (supernatural powers). He was always absorbed in one pure state of mind, he was a hero in enduring hardships, he was pure in his *samyag darshan* (right faith), his soul was always absorbed in *samyag jnana* (right knowledge), he was devoted to *samyag charitra* (right conduct), and he contemplated his soul through *anupreksha* (reflection), free from delusion. || 91-92 || He wandered only in those lands that were free from subtle beings and were fit for the practice of *dharma* (righteousness), and were served by great *munis* (ascetics) who had pure conduct. ||
