[The fourth शुभपरिणामजनकत्वे वाह्य निमित्तमनैकान्तिकमेवेति । तस्माद् व्यक्त ! सन्ति पञ्चभूतानि, चेतनानि चायानि चत्वारि, इत्येतत् .प्रतीहीति स्थितम् । यश्च " स्वमोमयं वै सकलम्" इत्यादि । तत्रापि यस्तव चेतसि वर्तते नासावर्थः, किन्तु भवभयोद्विग्नानां भव्यसत्चानां धन-फनक-पुत्र-फलत्राधसारतामात्र. प्रतिपाइनं तेन विधीयते, येन ते तदास्था परित्यज्य मुक्तये प्रवर्तन्ते, न पुनस्तत्र भूताभावः प्रतिपाद्यते । इति मुश्च संशयम्, पतिपयस्व भूतास्तित्वमिति ॥ २२०॥ (१७६८)
D. C.-To a dispassionate saint, s'abda, rūpa, rasa etc. . do not become the attractive objects of pleasure, because his mind is pure. A pure-minded inan does never cherish desire for sensuous pleasure from a beautiful mother. In the same way, a self-restrained and persevering muni does never commit himsā even if he inflicts pain upon jivas on account of his s'uddha bhāvas. It is clear, trierefore, that bāhya nimitta is anaikāntika so far as himsă is concerned, and what is required is the intention pure and simple.
Hence O Bhadra ! accept the existence of the five bhutus and know it for certain that the first four of them viz, prithvi, jala, agni, and vāyu are sa-cétana. Moreover, you have not understood the real meaning of the Véda-dadas like “Svapno pamās var sakalam" etc. The main object of those sentences, is to aşsert the fragility of wealth, wife, progeny etc. before the high-minded people who have been distressed by the bhavabhaya, so that they might abandon their attachment to the wordly visayas and strive for the attainment of moksa. Leave, therefore, all your doubts aside, o Saumya 1 and admit the existence of bhtitas. छिन्नम्मि संसयम्मि जिणेण जरा-मरणविष्पमुक्केण ।
सो समणो पव्वइओ पंचहिं सह खंडियसरहिं ॥ २२१ ॥ (१७६९) Chinnammi samsaymmi Jipena jară-maraṇayippamukkeņam i So samaņo pavvalo pancahim saha khandiyasaenim 1122 111 (1769)
