## The Soul Possessing Inherent Qualities is Obligated to Follow the Path of Liberation. || 85 ||

**Meaning:** Just as a man striving to achieve something like the piercing of the moon does not destroy his qualities, but remains vigilant, similarly, a soul striving for the path of liberation, which is characterized by right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, does not destroy its qualities. Be certain of this. || 85 ||

**Further, it is explained what the moon-piercer did:**

**Kanakalata, Nagalata, Vidhyullata, and Kundalata, as well as Sagarak, Ballabhak, Kuladatta, and Vardhamanak, were all killed by Mahendradatt in Mithila, in a single day. || 86 ||**

**Meaning:** Mahendradatt killed the women Kanakalata, Nagalata, Vidhyullata, and Kundalata, as well as the men Sagarak, Ballabhak, Kuladatta, and Vardhamanak, all in one day in the city of Mithila. Therefore, a Yati should strive diligently during the time of Samadhi-maran (death in meditation) for the sake of ultimate truth. || 86 ||

**Further, it is said that just as worldly affairs are ruined without effort, so too is the ultimate truth of a Yati ruined without effort:**

**Where there is no effort, there is no success, and the path of liberation is filled with obstacles. The city of liberation is filled with obstacles, and the root of pride is the cause of downfall. || 88 ||**
