Aaturpratyakhyanaprakirnakam Ga. 53
This is the fault of the eye-sense organ: just as water falls on the ground, so does the ignorant person. ||2|| This is the fault of the nose-sense organ: just as a bee is attracted by a fragrant smell. ||3|| This is the fault of the tongue-sense organ: just as a fish, attracted by a bait, jumps out of the water. ||4|| This is the fault of the touch-sense organ: just as an elephant, attracted by a sweet smell, digs up the ground with its tusks. ||5|| Since this is the fault, therefore, due to the natural tendency of the Tirthankaras and Sadhus, there is a change in gender, and they are unable to desire food with their minds. ||52||
Soma: Then the Kshatriya, thinking about the faults of the vulture in food, says: Food is the cause, food is the cause. Therefore, seeing many fish entering and exiting the mouth of the big fish, the fish think, "If I become like this, then I will eat all of them." Thus, they go to the seventh earth, called Tamas, with a fierce mind. Similarly, the fault of taste is to be understood from the examples of deer, insects, bees, and elephants, as the desire for other objects is rooted in taste. Since this is the fault, therefore, due to the natural tendency of the Sadhus, they are unable to desire food with their minds. They are not virtuous, nor are they logical. The meaning of "na khamati" is that due to the natural tendency, there is a change in gender, and the Jina Sadhus are unable to desire food with their minds. ||52||
Guna: Then he says about the faults of the vulture in food: Due to food, the fish go to the seventh earth. They are unable to desire food with their minds. ||52||
Previously, having done the karma, without any cause, he thought with his mind. Later, he accepted death immediately, being stained with the kshaya. ||53||

Bhava: The Kshatriya, having known the result of the object, and having been taught by the Guru, says: Previously, in the beginning, he did the karma, having done the excellent, medium, and inferior karma, in the order of "four varieties", etc.
