Dedication As you dedicate yourself to an ideal of religious life, remember one thing: ‘Stamping overhead is dragon Death!'—and you will be in a position to concentrate upon the cultivation of this religious ideal. Similarly, when you dedicate yourself to learning, reflect this wise: “Triumphed have I over dragon Death!'—and with a dauntless spirit you will master all learning.
Puissance Rare Rarc, infinitely rare in this world are apostles like Lord Mahavir* who proclaim Truth in terms at once endearing and wholesome, captivating and beneficent!
Beguiler Beguiled That very moment a man is deceiving some other person, his crooked guile is debasing himself. The beguiler thus rejoices in the fruition of his guile, whereas his guile feels gratified, having smashed the beguiler down to that lowly depth. Identical, indeed, is the pleasure of both: of debasement in triumph and of triumph in debasement ! *Last of the Jain Apostles.
