__ इन सब कलाओं एवं सुन्दर आकृतियों तथा दर्शनीय स्थानों को देखने के लिए जाने का निषेध करने का तात्पर्य यह है कि साधु का जीवन साधना के लिए है, आत्मा को कर्मवन्धनों से मुक्त करने के लिए है। अतः यदि वह इन सुन्दर पदार्थों को देखने के लिए इधर-उधर जाएगा या दृष्टि दौड़ाएगा तो उससे चक्षु इन्द्रिय का पोषण होगा, मन में राग-द्वेष या मोह की उत्पत्ति होगी
और स्वाध्याय एवं ध्यान की साधना में विघ्न पड़ेगा। चक्षु इन्द्रिय पर विजय प्राप्त करना साधना का मूल उद्देश्य है। अतः साधु को विविध वस्तुओं एवं स्थानों के रूप सौन्दर्य को देखने का प्रयत्न नहीं करना चाहिए। (हिन्दी टीका, पृ. १३२१-१३२२)
॥ द्वादश अध्ययन समाप्त ॥ Elaboration—In just one aphorism here the author censures eagerness for seeing forms of some listed things and other similar things. Elaborating specially on forms of beautiful things Acharya Shri Atmaramji M. writes
This aphorism censures seeing beautiful forms. It conveys that there are four things that enhance beauty of a material thing or human being-(1) Stringing flowers into a garland or bouquet enhances the beauty of flowers and also the person wearing them. (2) A person adorned with a dress looks beautiful. Different variety of dresses are means of enhancing beauty. (3) Casting ornaments in a variety of moulds adds to the glitter and beauty of ornaments. Embellished with such ornaments a person looks more beautiful. (4) Proper stitching of clothes enhances their beauty. Wearing dresses designed and stitched in different fashions amply beautifies a person. This indicates that beauty of various things is enhanced when they undergo different processes. A simple piece of wood or stone becomes extraordinary if painted. Anyone looking at it is attracted. In the same way things like ivory, paper, gemstones etc. turn into objects of beauty when they undergo processes like painting, carving etc. Such things of art become objects of attraction not just for the time being but for all times to come. These mentions give a glimpse of the excellence attained by the crafts of that period. Even in absence of machines, रूप-सप्तिका : द्वादश अध्ययन ( ४४७ ) Rupa Saptika : Twelfth Chapter
