UTTARADHYAYANA.
a sage, and guard one's self: (thus) never be careless. (10)
A Sramana who again and again suppresses the effects of delusion, and controls himself, will be affected in a rough way by external things; but a monk should not hate them in his mind. (11)
External things weaken the intellect and allure many; therefore keep them out of your mind. Keep off delusion, remove pride, do not practise deceit, leave off greed. (12)
Heretics who are impure and vain, are always subject to love and hate, and are wholly under the influence (of their passions). Despising them as unholy men, desire virtues till the end of your life. (13) Thus I say.
FIFTH LECTURE.
DEATH AGAINST ONE'S WILL.
In this ocean (of life) with its currents (viz. births) difficult to cross, one man has reached the opposite shore; one wise man has given an answer to the following question. (1)
These two ways of life ending with death have been declared: death with one's will, and death against one's will. (2)
Death against one's will is that of ignorant men, and it happens (to the same individual) many times. Death with one's will is that of wise men, and at best it happens but once. (3)
1 Viz. in the case of a Kêvalin. Other sages die this death seven or eight times before reaching mukti.
