बध्यते मुच्यते जीवः सममो निर्ममः क्रमात् । तस्मात्सर्वप्रयत्नेन निर्ममत्वं विचिन्तयेत् ॥
EXPLANATORY NOTES
Acarya Kundakunda has expounded in Samayasara:
जह णाम को वि पुरिसो रायाणं जाणिदूण सद्दहदि । तो तं अणुचरदि पुणो अत्थत्थीओ पयत्तेण ॥
Verse 26
The soul that entertains infatuation with the outside objects gets into bondage of karmas and the soul that entertains no such infatuation is freed from bondage. Try persistently, therefore, to renounce all infatuation.
एवं हि जीवराया णादव्वो तह य सद्दहेदव्वो । अणुचरिदव्वो य पुणो सो चेव दु मोंक्खकामेण ॥
(26)
(1-17-17)
(1-18-18)
The man desirous of monetary benefits, after identifying the king by his crown and other insignia of royalty, exerts to serve him faithfully; in the same way, one who desires emancipation should know the soul as a king, put faith in it, and attend to it in right earnest.
Further,
कम्मे णोकम्मम्हि य अहमिदि अहकं च कम्मणोकम्मं ।
जा एसा खलु बुद्धी अप्पडिबुद्धो हवदि ताव ॥
(1-19-19)
So long as the soul believes that it comprises the karmic matter
