________________ Ratnakarandaka-śrāvakācāra The man void of such possessions can concentrate his mind on the pure soul and attain excellent meditation. Meditation which is directed towards the pure Self is the means of self-realization. Ignorance that stupefies the faculties of perception and will must be got rid of. There should be neither attachment nor hatred towards the objects of the environment. There should be unruffled peace in thought, speech and body. Meditation attended by such circumstances manifests like the fire that destroys the rubbish heap of the karmas. Jain, Vijay K. (2014), “Ācārya Pūjyapāda's Istopadeśa – The Golden Discourse”, p. 76. Ācārya Samantabhadra's Svayambhūstotra: अहिंसा भूतानां जगति विदितं ब्रह्म परमं न सा तत्रारम्भोऽस्त्यणुरपि च यत्राश्रमविधौ । ततस्तत्सिद्ध्यर्थं परमकरुणो ग्रन्थमुभयं भवानेवात्याक्षीन्न च विकृतवेषोपधिरतः ॥ (78-8-888) O Lord Jina! Desisting from injury to living beings is known in this world as the Supreme Holiness. This Supreme Holiness cannot be found in hermitages which advocate even the slightest of activity (ārambha) that causes pain and suffering to the living beings. Therefore, with extreme benevolence, to attain the purity of non-injury, you had relinquished both the internal as well as the external attachments, including the degrading clothes and other add-ons to the body. Jain, Vijay K. (2015), “Ācārya Samantabhadra's Svayambhūstotra – Adoration of The Twenty-four Tīrthankara”, p. 147. ........................ 234
