मध्यस्थः ।
Umpire.
रत्ता पिच्छंति गुणे, दोसे पिच्छंति जे विरुधंति । मज्झत्थच्चिय पुरिसा दोसे अ गुणे अ पिच्छंति ॥ १६० ॥ रक्ताः पश्यन्ति गुणान् दोषान् पश्यन्ति ये विरुन्धन्ति । मध्यस्था एव पुरुषा दोषांश्च गुणांश्च पश्यन्ति ॥ १६० ॥
Devoted ones see only the good qualities and those who have antipathy see only the faults; it is only the impartial who see both good and bad qualities i. e. the bright and dark sides of a thing.
विमलम्मि दप्पणे जह पडिबिंबइ पास वत्ति-वत्थु-गणो । मज्झत्थम्मि तहा नणु संकमइ समग्ग-धम्म- गुणो ॥ १६९ ॥
विमले दर्पणे यथा प्रतिबिम्बति पार्श्ववर्तिवस्तुगणः । मध्यस्थे तथा ननु संक्रामति समग्रधर्मगुणः ॥ १६१ ॥
As in a clear mirror all the things lying on either side, are reflected, so all the qualities are reflected in the mediator i. e. only one who is neutral, can judge impartially all the good and bad qualities.
