## Chapter Forty-Two
This Arhant, the Supreme Lord, the Teacher of the World, is endowed with these extraordinary qualities of speech, etc., which are not found in others. He is the one who has achieved his goal. ||46||
There is no other man like him in any other doctrine. Therefore, by abandoning other paths, he alone deserves to be recognized as an omniscient. ||47||
Remembering this Kshatriya Dharma, which is declared by the omniscient, the Kshatriyas should separate their lineage from those who have not attained it from other doctrines. ||48||
By protecting the intellect, which is not based on the self, one can protect oneself. And by protecting oneself, the Kshatriya can protect the earth. ||49||
To further clarify the essence of what has been said, three examples will be given here in order. ||50||
The example of a man is for the manifestation of one's purpose in life. The example of a bird in a cage is for the manifestation of the world. ||51||
The example of a man should be understood as the example of both the liberated and the bound soul. The example of a monk is for the affirmation of both liberation and bondage. ||52||
The worldly being, driven by the desire for happiness, strives to experience the knowledge, perception, strength, happiness, and beauty arising from the senses within the dwelling of the body. ||53||
But the liberated being does not do so. He experiences the supreme happiness, which is his own, continuously through the aforementioned transcendental qualities. ||54||
The worldly being, who has sensory knowledge, is himself of limited knowledge. Therefore, he seeks refuge in other men who contemplate knowledge for the sake of learning the scriptures. ||55||
Similarly, the man who has the power of sensory perception can only see things that are close to him. Therefore, he is always eager to see things that are far away. ||56||
Similarly, the man who has strength arising from the senses desires to accomplish tasks with the help of others, being unable to do them himself. ||57||
The man who is happy with sensory pleasures is completely absorbed in the desire for sensual enjoyment. He desires happiness that is dependent on others, being attracted to the objects of the senses. ||58||
And the fact that there are twelve assemblies is an extraordinary fortune of the Arhant Deva. ||45||
