## Āturpratyākhyānaprakirṇakam Gā. 65, 66
**64.** Soma again, as the क्षपक (skeptic) contemplates, says: "The obtained, the attained, which was not obtained before, was not obtained by me before, in the past, while I was wandering in this existence. I have never experienced this object of worship." What is special? It is well and truly stated in the Jina's words, in the सिद्धान्त (principle). How is it so? The word "भूत" (being) is used in the sense of a simile, meaning "like nectar," because it is the cause of the supreme state, and because it destroys old age, death, etc. Or, the special word is the Jina's well-spoken word. That too is "not obtained before, obtained, like nectar," because this is obtained, therefore the path of good fortune, the path of liberation, is taken by me, therefore I do not fear death now. Due to its being in the Prakrit language, the sixth case is used in the sense of the fifth case.
**65.** The क्षपक (skeptic) again, contemplating, says: "The obtained, the attained, which was not obtained before, was not obtained by me before, while I was wandering in this existence. I have never experienced this object of worship." The Jina's well-spoken word is "like nectar," like food for the gods, the path of good fortune, the path of liberation, is taken by me. I do not fear death now.
**65.** "Even the brave must die, even the coward must die. Both must die, but it is better to die with courage."
**65.** Even the brave, even the good warrior, must die. Even the coward, the one without courage, the fearful one, must die. Both must die, it is clear. Therefore, it is better to die with courage, with determination.
