Ratnakarandaka-śrāvakācāra गृहस्थो मोक्षमार्गस्थो निर्मोहो नैव मोहवान् । अनगारो गृही श्रेयान् निर्मोहो मोहिनो मुनेः ॥ ३३ ॥
सामान्यार्थ - मोह-मिथ्यात्व से रहित गृहस्थ मोक्षमार्ग में स्थित है परन्तु मोह-मिथ्यात्व से सहित मुनि मोक्षमार्ग में स्थित नहीं है। मोही मिथ्यादृष्टि मुनि की अपेक्षा मोह-रहित सम्यग्दृष्टि गृहस्थ श्रेष्ठ है।
The householder who has rid himself of delusion is established on the path to liberation, but the ascetic with delusion is not so established. The householder without delusion is superior to the ascetic with delusion (owing to the former possessing right faith).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Ācārya Kundakunda’s Samayasāra:
परमट्ठम्मि दु अठिदो जो कुणदि तवं वदं च धारयदि। तं सव्वं बालतवं बालवदं विंति सव्वण्हू ॥ ४-८-१५२ ॥ Anyone who has not positioned himself in the divine state of the soul, but performs austerities and observes vows, the allknowing call his austerities and observance of vows as childish austerities (bāltapa) and childish observance of vows (bālvrata).
