In the Padma Purana, at the beginning of this impermanent and sorrowful existence, what single act is praiseworthy in this world? It is the act that leads to Dharma. (18)
A virtuous soul, having obtained human birth, who does not apply their mind to Dharma, is truly cheated by the karma of delusion. (6)
Knowing that rebirth is certain, I, a sinner, did not act in my own best interest when time was in my control. Alas, I am a fool, a careless one. (100)
Why did I not develop wisdom when I was in control of my own actions? Now that the enemy is before me, what can I do, a wretched soul? (101)
What is the use of digging a well when the house is on fire? And what is the time for chanting mantras when one has been bitten by a snake? These actions should have been done beforehand. (102)
In this situation, it seems right to me to calm my mind and seek a good resolution, for that is the cause of self-benefit. (103)
Salutations to the Arhats, the liberated ones, the Acharyas, the Upadhyayas, and the Sadhus, these five supreme beings. (104)
The Arhats, the liberated ones, the Sadhus, and the Kevalis, along with Dharma, are the four auspicious things that are always beneficial to me. (105)

As long as I live, I will abandon the external yoga, but not the pure soul. I condemn the past karma I have accumulated and am dedicated to renunciation. (107)
In this endless forest of existence, the sins I have committed are false. I am now absorbed in contemplating the truth. (108)
I abandon all that is to be abandoned and accept all that is to be accepted. Knowledge and vision are my soul, while the rest are merely characteristics of association with objects. (109)
For the sake of liberation, neither grass nor the best land is a support, but only the soul free from contaminated mind is the true support. (110)
Thus, having ascended to the proper meditation, he abandoned both internal and external attachments. (111)
The karma that caused his birth was exhausted, and with great patience and remorse, he remembered the words of the Digambara monks. (66-67)
He began to think that this entire beginning is fleeting and brings only sorrow. In this world, the only act worthy of praise is the one that leads to Dharma. (68)
