English Translation (preserving Jain terms):
The Shri Sutrakritanga Sutra states that since it is not based on facts, the knowledge it presents is not true. Therefore, ignorance is better than such knowledge, as the conception of knowledge is not required - it is unnecessary. The Sutrakara further clarifies that all the beings in the entire world do not know the complete truth or reality accurately.
Milakkhu abhilakkhussa, jaha vuttanubasae.
Na heum se vijanaai, bhasitam t'anubasae. (15)
Translation: A Mleccha (barbarian), who is disconnected from and devoid of culture or etiquette, translates or recites the speech of an Amleccha (noble or Arya) person. However, he does not know the reason or purpose behind what is spoken, and merely recites or repeats the words.
Tika (Commentary): Even though their knowledge has come down through the lineage of their teachers, since it is rootless, it is not true. The author illustrates this through an example - just as a Mleccha who is unacquainted with the Arya language, merely recites or translates the speech of an Amleccha (Arya) who is unfamiliar with the Mleccha language, without properly understanding the intended meaning or purpose behind the speech. Similarly, the Mleccha does not definitively know the reason or basis for which the Arya person used that particular language, and merely follows the words without the true comprehension.
Evam-annania-nanam, vayantavi sayam-sayam.
Nicchayattham na jananti, milakkhuva abo-hiya. (16)
Translation: Similarly, those who are ignorant speak of knowledge, each in their own way. But they do not know the true essence or certainty, being like ignorant Mlecchas.
