Appendix-7: Comparison of Fundamental Practices in Verses:
353
Aatur. Ga. 59
At that time, just as faith in the twelve-limbed and fourteen-limbed scriptures is practiced, so too, is it possible to contemplate and study all the scriptures? It is said:
"It is not possible in that time and place to practice the twelve-limbed scriptures.
All should contemplate, with a strong and capable mind." ||12||
N- negation. Hi- because. Tamhi- in that. Desayale- time and place. "Dis ati sarjane" is seen as "disya te ati srjyo" meaning "desh" is the body and "kal" is the time, in that time of leaving the body. Sakko- possible. Barasaviho- twelve-limbed, twelve types. Sudakkhando- scripture-limb, meaning scripture-tree. Savvo- all, everything. Anuchinte- to contemplate, to understand the meaning, to read. Balinavi- even with strong physical strength. Samatthacitte- with a capable mind, with a one-pointed mind, with a monk. In that time and place, even with strong physical strength and a capable mind, it is not possible to contemplate the twelve-limbed scriptures. ||12||
Aatur. Ga. 60
Therefore, what should be done?
"In one word, there is enthusiasm on the path of non-attachment.
A person goes to that, and that should not be abandoned at the time of death." ||13||
Ekkasi- in one. Bidhiyahi- two fulfillments, the second is "namah siddhebyah". Sanveo- enthusiasm, joy in dharma. Pade- in the meaning of the word, in the scripture, in the proof, or in the five prostrations. Or, Ekkamhi bijamhi pade- in one seed-word, meaning "in which". Viyaragamaggammi- on the path of non-attachment, in the teachings of the omniscient. Vaccadi- goes, walks, proceeds. Naro- by a person, one who has abandoned all attachments. Abhikham- constantly, without interruption. Tam- that. Maranante- at the time of death, when the breath is in the throat, or at the very end. Na mottavvam- should not be abandoned, should not be left. In one word, in the second word, or in the five prostrations, on the path of non-attachment, in which there is constant enthusiasm, that word should not be abandoned at the time of death by a person; or, a person goes to that word in which there is enthusiasm, that word should not be abandoned by him, this is the connection.
