N. B. When the afore-said ten enemies are conquered, #Top1: No-Kasāyāh-Minor passions-and all other enemies are conquered. Here, one's Soul has been considered as his own enenty Ordinary individuals cannot realize how one's soul becomes his own enemy. So long as one's soul does not accept what is beneficial to him even after thoroughly examining the true essence of what is advantageous to him and what is not, but acquiring many evil Karmas, goes on increasing his existence in Samsāra, his Soul becomes his own enemy. The subduing of one's Soul and preventing him from acquiring additional evil Karmas, is a herculean task. Other enemies become easily conquerable, only when this one enemy has been thoroughly subdued.
साहु गोअम! पष्णा ते छिनो मे संसओ इमो। अमो वि संसओ मज्झं ते मे कदम गोअमा! ॥ ३९ ॥
39. Sāhu Goama pannā té, chhinno mé samsao imo;
Anno vi samisao majjham, tam mé kahasu Goamā. 3). O Gautama! You are very intelligent. This doubt of mine, has been removed (by you). I have also another doubt. O Cautama! (please ) tell me that.
दीसंति बहवो लोए पासबद्धा सरीरिणो।
मुकपासो लहुन्भूभी कई तं विहरसी मुणी ?॥४०॥ 40 Disanti bahavo loé pāsa-baddha sarīriņo;
Mukkapāso lahubhūo kaham tam viharasi ? Muni!
40. In this world, many embodied beings appear to be bound by fetters; O Revered Sage! how do you move about free from trammels like light wind ?
ते पासे सचसो छित्ता निहंतूण उवायो । मुपासो लहुम्भूमो विहरामि अहं मुणी ! ॥४१॥
