________________ THE TRUE RENOUNCER 1. A person who abandons all objects of fondness--such as a house filled with conveniences, a beautiful woman, wealth and glory, servants, horses and chariots--with a feeling of detachment is a true renouncer. Dasavaikalika Sutra (Ch. 2, verse 3) 2. A person who is unable to enjoy any or all of such things owing to some necessity such as restrictions, dependence, physical or mental disability, etc. is not a true renouncer. Dasavaikalika Sutra (Ch. 2, verse 3) Printed at : Mohan Mudranalaya, Agra-10 Ph. 260532 The illustration explains such necessity by showing a man bound with ropes within a prison and an emaciated old man incapable of any physical activity.
