तह-वि ण तुट्टइ ऍहु संसारउ विणु अब्भासें णाहि णिसारउ ॥ [देवः पूज्यते लक्षं अपि दीयते आत्मानं मारयित्वा कीदृशं क्रियते । तथा अपि न त्रुट्यति एषः संसारः विना अभ्यासेन नहि निःसारः ॥]
68 Even if a deity is worshipped and lacs are given as charity - what is achieved by killing (doing violence to) the self ? Even by such practices this Samsāra is not destroyed. Without space there is no possibility of going out.
६९ भावाभावहँ भावण-रत्तउ . पसुअ-मज्झे सो गणियइ सत्तउ । झाणहिँ जें किउ मोक्खब्भासउ सो भव-रक्खस-केरउ दासउ ॥ [भावाभावयोः भावना-रक्तः पशु-मध्ये सः गण्यते सत्त्वः । ध्याने येन कृतः मोक्षाभ्यासः सः भव-राक्षसस्य दासः ॥]
69 The being who is attached to nourishing in thought the distinctness of Existence and Non-existence is counted among the beasts. He who exercises himself for Moksa by means of Meditation is a slave of the ogre in the form of Samsāra.
७० धरिउ हंसु मइँ कहिअउ भेउ अद्ध-उद्ध दुइ पक्खा छेउ । पक्ख-विहूणउ कहिँ-वि ण जाइ देह-मढिहिँ जो णिच्चलु ठाइ ॥ [धृतः हंसः मया कथितः भेदः अध-ऊौं द्वौ पक्षान् छेदय । . पक्ष-विहीनः कुत्र अपि न याति देह-मठिकायां य: निश्चलः तिष्ठति ॥]
70 I have held the Hamsa. Its secret I reveal to you. I have clipped off both of his wings — the Upper and the Lower. Bereft of wings he cannot go anywhere. He stays steadfast in the cell of the body.
