This discourse considers the fruit of the death of a learned soul, who is immersed in right knowledge, free from the control of the heavens or the underworld, and is affected by the auspiciousness of the soul. Such a learned soul attains death and becomes easily enlightened in the next life. - Those who are committed to following the teachings of the Jinas, who accept the teachings of the Guru with all their heart, who follow pure and non-violent conduct, and who have an unattached mind, become short-lived. They become participants in liberation and salvation.
Influenced by these thoughts, such a soul addresses itself, saying, "O soul! Until today, you have died countless times in the fourteen realms due to untimely death. Today, a good opportunity has come, so you, who are endowed with knowledge and insight, should prepare for a learned death!"
Such a soul, disciplining itself, thinks, "The suffering that arises at the time of death, you yourself are the cause of it. No one else is causing you pain. You have experienced far greater suffering in the world countless times, compared to these. What are these sufferings in comparison? Now, there is no need to desire food in the suffering of hunger. Because, for an infinite time, you have consumed every particle as food. But if you are still not satisfied with it, then what satisfaction will you gain from a small amount of food and other things? Just as fire is never satisfied with grass and wood, and the salt sea is never filled by thousands of rivers, so too, the embodied soul is never satisfied with food."
By giving the example of such a soul, the Guru prepares the present soul for a peaceful death. The fruit of this fasting, which is like a flood of nectar, is liberation. Liberation is free from the cycle of birth and death, free from attachment, disease, and delusion, and free from all suffering like illness, sorrow, hunger, and thirst. By showing the beauty and greatness of the fruit in this way, the Guru increases the enthusiasm of the soul.
The present soul accepts with the same faith the description of the form of the previous souls and the fruit of peaceful death, as heard from the mouth of the Guru.
From verse 59 onwards, the author writes that even those who have attained the level of the fourteen previous realms, who have a strong mind, and who are mature, are not fully capable of contemplating, remembering, and repeating the twelve angas.
Therefore, at the end, the seeker who becomes stable in a single verse, which is extremely affected by the great mantra of salutation to the five supreme beings, makes death peaceful. As a result, he attains liberation in a maximum of three births. Knowing this well, such a soul becomes very adept at the verses of salutation to the five supreme beings and attains a learned death. In conclusion, such a soul, who is fearless, brave, virtuous, patient, and calm, moves rapidly towards liberation.
