## Chapter Fourteen
**325** Having attained the rare human birth, one should be devoted to the path of liberation. The duty of the great lord is to worship the Jina. ||26||
**26** Whose throne, when occupied, makes a yojana of land golden, and is served by gods, animals, and humans. ||26||
**262** Whose eight miraculous powers and thirty-four great wonders manifest, and whose form is radiant like a thousand suns, bringing joy to the eyes. ||262||
**263** The wise devotee who bows down to such a great lord, the Jina, crosses the ocean of existence in a short time. ||263||
**264** There is no other way for beings to attain peace except by following this path, therefore, one should serve it diligently. ||264||
**265** There are thousands of other paths, like the Go-danda, which are associated with Kutirthas, and in which the careless beings are deluded. ||265||
**266** There is no true compassion in those paths, as they openly consume honey and meat, but in the path of the Jina, even a speck of fault is not seen. ||266||
**267** It is completely worthy of abandonment in this world, to torment one's soul with hunger during the day, and then consume food at night, destroying the accumulated merit. ||267||
**268** Eating at night is a sin, yet those who consider it a virtue have hearts hardened by evil deeds, and their understanding is difficult. ||268||
**269** The lazy and sinful being who eats when the sun is not visible, does not understand the path to liberation. ||269||
**270** The sinful being, whose eyes are covered by darkness and whose mind is filled with sin, eats flies, insects, and hair at night. ||270||
**271** The one who eats at night eats with Dakinis, Preta, Bhutas, and other vile creatures. ||271||
**272** The one who eats at night eats with dogs, rats, cats, and other carnivorous animals. ||272||
**273** Or what is the point of elaborating further? Eating at night makes everyone impure and defiled. ||273||
**259** Sitting in the middle, one spends many moments in contemplation. ||259||
**260** Therefore, those who have attained the rare human birth and are devoted to the path of liberation, should worship the great lord, Shri Jinendra Deva. ||260||
