## The Forty-Fifth Chapter
With gentle touches of playful laughter,
With charming glances, full of delight,
With sweet whispers of love,
And with the beauty of blooming flowers,
He found joy in the heart.
The ripe fruit of the wish-fulfilling tree,
Born of love,
Was the limit of his detachment,
Brought about by the love of Rama.
This is the fruit of the good deeds of his past lives,
He clearly explained to the foolish,
And thus, the radiant Padmabh was happy.
Knowing the nature of Dharma,
In the presence of Shridhar Muni,
The wise Padmabh contemplated
The true nature of the world and liberation.
As long as the Audayik Bhava remains,
So long does the soul wander in the world.
The Audayik Bhava remains as long as Karma remains,
And Karma remains as long as its causes remain.
The causes of Karma are five:
Mithyatva, Asamyam, Pramad, Kshaya, and Yoga.
Where Mithyatva exists,
The other four causes are sure to exist.
Where Asamyam exists,
There are also Pramad, Kshaya, and Yoga.
Where Pramad exists,
There are also Yoga and Kshaya.
Where Kshaya exists,
There is also Yoga.
And where there is no Kshaya,
Only Yoga remains as the cause of bondage.
With the destruction of Mithyatva and other causes
In their respective Gunasthanas,
The bondage caused by them is also destroyed.
First, Satya, Bandha, and Uday are destroyed,
Then, the Karmas are destroyed in their own time,
Up to the fourteenth Gunasthana.
With the destruction of Karmas,
The world is destroyed.
When the world,
Which is characterized by sin and birth and death,
Is destroyed,
The soul remains with its Kshayik Bhavas.
At that time, the soul grows with those Kshayik Bhavas.
Not knowing this truth,
As taught by the Jinas,
This being, whose end is very difficult to attain,
Has been wandering in the forest of the world,
Like a blind man, for a long time.
Now, I abandon all the causes of Karma-bondage,
Such as Asamyam, etc.,
And I attain, I hold,
The five limbs of liberation,
Such as pure faith.
