________________ 5. Thus the persons gifted with supreme forgiveness, worshipped by Gods (Devas) and Vidyadharas (Divine beings skilled in various arts and sciences); and the innumerable holy saints who vanquish all worldly miseries on attaining the eternal omniscience and getting rid of the blemishes of karma have become enlightened souls (Siddha). I bow with reverence a thousand times at the holy feet of those supreme saints who are gifted with the virtue of forgiveness. It has been said; Kshama kharang kare yaseya durjana kim karishayti Atrinre patito vahri swaymevopashamyati What harm can an ill-natured person do to one who holds the dagger of forgiveness in his hand? For ultimately one day fire is automatically extinguished on a grassless, barren ground. To sum up, "It is good to have a giant's power, but bad to use it like a giant." Only devil mind will try to follow this rule of the jungle; 'Shathe shatayam samacharet' 'Tit for tatYou killed my dog, I killed your cat." There is a wise and saintly saying; 'Revenge is a wild justice'. Hence, O Mortal Man! Pardon! Pardon! Pardon all thy oppressors and enemies. O aspirants for mental peace! Always remember: Mere vanity is sufficient to bring downfall, Mere passions are sufficient for bondage of soul, Hence I counsel you to shun these, Forgiveness alone is enough to attain Godhood.
