[Twelve-Anga Ganipitaka]
[187 Setting fire] etc. are extremely cruel, they have to suffer incomparable pain. The sinful beings bound in many births and traditions do not escape the fruits of the sinful karma-vine without suffering. Because there is no escape from the fruits of karma without experiencing them. Yes, those who have tightened their belts with the patience of citta-samadhi, their tapasya purifies even those sinful karmas.
554-Those who are well-behaved in the conduct of virtue, restraint, rules, qualities and tapasya, who are well-established in their conduct, who use compassion in many ways, who have pure intellect in all three times, i.e. who are happy thinking that they will give food to the ascetics, who are happy while giving and after giving, who give food and drink to them with a very careful mind, beneficial, pleasant, auspicious, good results, pure in use (free from the defects of origin etc.), they earn merit like humans, attain bodhi-laabh and abandon many transmigrations related to human, hell, animal and heavenly realms (limited-less), and which is troubled by the mountain of aversion, fear, wonder, sorrow and false belief (mountain), which is full of deep ignorance-darkness-like mud, which is very difficult to cross, whose chakraval (water-circle) is disturbed by the crocodiles of old age, death and womb, which is very fierce because it is endless and full of sixteen kshaya-like ferocious animals, they cross such endless, endless, this samsara-ocean, and how they bind themselves to life in the deva-ganas, how they experience the incomparable pleasures of the deva-ganas' vimanas, and then after a long time, they fall from there and come to this human world, having a long life, a perfect body, a beautiful form, born in a good family, endowed with health, intelligence, special intelligence, rich in friends, relatives, wealth, grain and wealth, and combined with a group of essential happiness, they enjoy many kinds of pleasures born of desires.
The Bhagavan Jinavara has made the description of the fruits of karma, both auspicious and inauspicious, in many ways, in the form of a description of the fruits of karma. Others also describe these in many ways in detail with the explanation of the meaning.
