'बिइया मंदस्स बालया'-इस पद में बताया है कि साधक की पहली मूर्खता तो यह है कि उसने गुप्त रूप से मैथुन-सेवन किया, उस पर दूसरी मूढ़ता यह है कि गुरु आदि द्वारा पूछने पर वह छिपाने के लिए अनजान बनता है। यह दोहरा दोष-सेवन है-एक अब्रह्मचर्य का, दूसरा असत्य का। इस सूत्र का संकेत है कि प्रमाद या अज्ञानवश भूल हो जाने पर उसे सरलतापूर्वक स्वीकार कर लेना चाहिए। ___एत्थ फासे पुणो पुणो-सूत्र द्वारा यह बताया है कि आसक्ति के कारण बार-बार दुःखों का
अनुभव करना पड़ता है। जैसे-आसक्तिवश मनुष्य वस्तुओं का संग्रह करता है, फिर संग्रहीत वस्तु के संरक्षण की चिन्ता करता है। उसके वियोग का दुःख अनुभवता है। भोग से अतृप्ति की वेदना और अतृप्ति से आकुलता, आकुलतावश पुनः पदार्थ का संग्रह या दूसरों की चोरी करता है। इस प्रकार दुःख का चक्र निरन्तर चलता ही रहता है।
Elaboration—This aphorism shows doubt to be the inspiring cause of knowledge. Normally doubt is born out of ignorance but when it is accompanied by the desire to gain knowledge, it also becomes inspiring cause of knowledge. A doubt that becomes root of curiosity enhances knowledge of man. Bhagavati Sutra contains answers to thirty six thousand such curiosity inspiring doubts.
When curiosity arises out of doubt then only, through jnaparijna (awareness of or receptivity for knowledge), one acquires true knowledge of the ephemeral nature of this world and through pratyakhyan-parijna (awareness and efforts of discarding) one proceeds to renounce it. He who does not have this doubt-filled curiosity about the world or rebirth, does not become aware of the ephemeral nature of the world and fleeting nature of life. Consequently he does not get liberated from this world.
Bi-iya mandassa balaya-This phrase shows that the first foolishness of a seeker is that he is furtively engaged in carnal activity, and the second that he pretends to be innocent when asked by the teacher or other seniors. This is compounding the fault of libido by a lie. The insinuation is that if one commits a fault due to en stupor or ignorance he should accept it with honesty.
Ettha phase puno puno-This aphorism indicates that due to attachment one' has to suffer misery time and again. For exampleलोकसार : पंचम अध्ययन
