आयुधग्रहणादन्ये देवा द्वेषसमन्विताः । रागिणः कामिनीसंगाद् भूषणानां च धारणात् ॥८१ दिया जाता है उसका क्या फल भोगनेको मिलता है ? सो कहा नहीं जा सकता ॥६८॥ अहो ! यह कितना प्रबल मोह है कि मिथ्यामतोंसे ठगाये गये लोग सभी अवस्थाओंवाले लोगोंको अपना धन दे देते हैं ॥६९।। उन दुष्टजनोंको धिक्कार है जिन्होंने कि इस भोले प्राणीको ठग रखा है तथा लोभ दिखाकर मिथ्या शास्त्रोंकी चर्चासे उसके मनको विचलित कर दिया है ।।७०॥ मीठा तथा बलकारी होनेसे पापी मनुष्योंने मांसको भक्ष्य बताया है और अपना कपट बतानेके लिए जिनका मास खाना चाहिए उनकी संख्या भी निधारित की है ॥७१॥ सो ऐसे दृष्ट लोभी जीव दूसरोंको मांस दिलाकर तथा स्वयं खाकर दाताओंके साथ-साथ भयंकर वेदनासे यक्त नरक
नरकमें जाते हैं ॥७२॥ लोभके वशीभूत, दुष्ट अभिप्रायसे युक्त तथा झूठ-मूठं ही अपने-आपको ऋषि माननेवाले कितने ही लोगोंने हाथी, घोड़ा, गाय आदि जीवोंका दान भी बतलाया है पर तत्त्वके जानकार मनुष्योंने उसकी अत्यन्त निन्दा की है ॥७३॥ उसका कारण भी यह है कि जीवदानमें जो जीव दिया जाता है उसे बोझा ढोना पड़ता है, नुकीली अरी आदिसे उसके शरीरको आँका जाता है तथा लाठी आदिसे उसे पीटा जाता है इन कारणोंसे उसे महादुःख होता है और उसके निमित्तसे बहुत-से अन्य जीवोंको भी बहुत दुःख उठाना पड़ता है ॥७४॥ इसी प्रकार भूमिदान भी निन्दनीय है क्योंकि उससे भूमिमें रहनेवाले जीवोंको पीड़ा होती है। और प्राणिपीड़ाके निमित्त जुटाकर पुण्यकी इच्छा करना मानो पत्थरसे पानी निकालना है ॥७५॥ इसलिए समस्त प्राणियोंको सदा अभयदान देना चाहिए साथ ही ज्ञान. प्रासक. औषधि, अन्न और वस्त्रादि भी देना चाहिए ॥७॥ जो दान निन्दित बताया है वह भी पात्रके भेदसे प्रशंसनीय हो जाता है. जिस प्रकार कि शुक्ति (सीप ) के द्वारा पिया हुआ पानी निश्चयसे मोती हो जाता है ॥७७।। पशु तथा भूमिका दान यद्यपि निन्दित दान है फिर भी यदि वह जिन-प्रतिमा आदिको उद्देश्य कर दिया जाता है तो वह दीर्घ काल तक स्थिर रहनेवाले उत्कृष्ट भोग प्रदान करता है ॥७८॥ भीतरका संकल्प ही पुण्यपापका कारण है उसके बिना बाह्य में दान देना पर्वतके शिखरपर वर्षा करनेके समान है ॥७९॥ इसलिए वीतराग सर्वज्ञ जिनेन्द्र देवका ध्यान कर जो दान दिया जाता है उसका फल कहनेके लिए कोन समर्थ है ?॥८०॥ जिनेन्द्रके सिवाय जो अन्य देव हैं वे द्वेषी, रागी तथा मोही हैं क्योंकि

## The Four-Month Festival

**311** Alas! How great is this delusion that people deceived by false doctrines give their wealth to those who are in all states of existence! **69** Shame on those wicked people who have deceived this innocent creature, and by showing greed, have diverted his mind with the discussion of false scriptures. **70** Because it is sweet and forceful, wicked men have declared meat to be edible, and to show their deceit, they have also determined the number of those whose flesh should be eaten. **71** Such cruel and greedy beings, by feeding others meat and eating it themselves, go to hell along with the givers, accompanied by terrible suffering. **72** Many people, who are under the influence of greed, have wicked intentions, and falsely consider themselves to be sages, have also declared the donation of elephants, horses, cows, and other living beings to be virtuous. But those who know the truth have strongly condemned it. **73** The reason for this is that the living being who is given in a living donation has to carry burdens, his body is marked with sharp tools, and he is beaten with sticks, etc. Due to these reasons, he suffers great pain, and because of him, many other living beings also have to suffer greatly. **74** Similarly, land donation is also condemnable because it causes suffering to the living beings living in that land. And to desire merit by accumulating it through the suffering of living beings is like extracting water from a stone. **75** Therefore, all living beings should always be given the gift of fearlessness, as well as knowledge, food, medicine, clothes, etc. **76** Even the donation that is condemned becomes praiseworthy due to the difference in the recipient. Just as water drunk through a conch shell becomes a pearl, for sure. **77** The donation of animals and land, although condemned, if given with the intention of offering to the Jina image, etc., grants excellent enjoyments that last for a long time. **78** The inner intention is the cause of merit and demerit. Without it, giving externally is like raining on the top of a mountain. **79** Therefore, who is capable of diminishing the fruit of the donation given with the contemplation of the Jina, who is free from attachment and omniscient? **80** Except for the Jina, other gods are hateful, attached, and deluded because:

1. In all types of recipients.
2. Wealth.
3. Due to pride.
4. The living beings living in it.
5. Knowledge, medicine, food, etc.
6. Unreleased, released, becomes liberated.
7. Intention.
