With Hindi Commentary.

"You will enjoy the same kind of pleasures as the Settas"- this is your thought, Saahu-Shreshtha. Aho Nan - it is amazing, Chellanadadevi - Chellanadadevi is Mahiddiya - extremely wealthy, Sundara - beautiful. Se Tan Saahuni - this is also the thought of the Sadhvis, Se - Ath Yanan - certainly, Ajjo - O Aryas! Eyam Dhe - is this talk Sam Dhe - correct? Hearing this, the Sadhus and Sadhvis present replied, "Hanta Atyi - yes, Bhagavan! You are right."
Original Meaning - O Aryas! Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira Swami invited those many Nirgranthas and Nirgranthis and said, "Seeing Shrenik Raja and Chellanadadevi, such spiritual resolutions arose in your minds that it is amazing that Shrenik Raja is so wealthy and we will also enjoy such pleasures in the future - is this correct? Aha! Chellanadadevi is extremely wealthy, beautiful, and the Sadhvi Ganas' thought is correct? O Aryas! Do you have such thoughts?" Hearing this, the Nirgranthas and Nirgranthis present said, "Yes, Bhagavan! This is correct."
Commentary - In this Sutra, the omniscience of Bhagavan and the truthfulness of the Aryas is illuminated. When the aforementioned resolutions arose in the hearts of the Nirgranthas and Nirgranthis, at that very time, Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira Swami called them all and said, "O Aryas! Have the aforementioned resolutions arisen in your hearts?" They said, "You speak the truth. Such resolutions have definitely arisen in our minds."
In the Sutra's "Se Nunan" etc. phrase, the word "Se" has the meaning of "Ath". For example - "Se" wordo Magadhadesh-Prasiddha - Athshabdartha vartate. "Ath" wordastu vakyopanyasarthah pariprashnaarthova. Yadaha - "Ath prakriyaprashnaantaryamangalopaanyas-prativachanasamucchyeshu.
