[The second
Prāyo vā jīvaloko vartate dristaphalāsu kriyasu / Adristaphalasu punar-vartate nasamkhyabhāgo'pi ॥ 71 ( 1619 )]
Trans.-71 Moreover, the people indulge mostly in such acts of which the fruits are seen; and not even an infinitesimal part of them, in acts of which the fruits are not visible. (1619)
टीका-लोकोऽपि च प्रायेण दृष्टमात्रफलास्वेव कृषि-वाणिज्यादि क्रियासु प्रवर्तते, अदृष्टफलासु पुनर्दानादिक्रियासु तदसंख्येयभागोऽपि न वर्तते-कतिपयमात्र एव लोकस्तासु प्रवर्तते, न बहुरित्यर्थः। ततश्च हिंसादीनामशुभक्रियाणामदृष्टफलाभावाच्छुभक्रियाणामपि दानादीनामदृष्टफलाभावो भविष्यति । इति पराभिप्राय इति ॥७१ (१६१९)॥
D. C.-People mostly do such acts as agriculture, business, etc., of which the fruits are certainly seen. And only a very negligible number of them, indulges in acts like charity of which the fruits are not seen.
Consequently, just as evil acts such as killing have not got such fruits as are not seen, so must be the case with good acts like charity. That is to say, they too, cannot have such fruits as are not seen.
This is what may be advanced as an argument by Agnibhūti.
• Šramana Bhagavān Mahāvīru refutes it as under :- . सोम्म ! जउ च्चिय जीवा पायं दिटुप्फलासु वहति । अदिट्ठफलाओ वि य ताओ पडिवज तेणेव ॥ ७२ ॥ १६२० ॥ Somma ! jau cciya jîvā pāyam dițthaphalāsu vattanti i Adittha phalao vi ya tai padivajja teneva ॥ 72 ॥ ( 1620 ) [ सौम्य ! यत एव जीवाः प्रायो दृष्टफलासु वर्तन्ते ।
अदृष्टफला अपि च ताः प्रतिपद्यस्व तेनैव ।। ७२ ।। (१६२० ) Saumya ! Yata eva jîvāḥ prāyo driştaphalāsu vartante 1 Adristaphala api ca tah pratipadyasva tenaiva ॥ 72 ॥ ( 1620)]
