श्री सूत्रकृताङ्ग सूत्रम् वर्तत इति । अपि च अहिंसया समता अहिंसासमता ताञ्चैतावद्विजानीयात्, यथा मम मरणं दुःख ञ्चाप्रियमेवमन्यस्यापि प्राणि लोक स्येति । एवकारोऽवधारणे, इत्येवं साधुना ज्ञानवता प्राणिनां परितापनाऽपद्रावणादि न विधेय मेवेति ॥१०॥
टीकार्थ - प्राणियों की हिंसा क्यों नहीं करनी चाहिये, इसका समाधान प्रस्तुत करते हुए आगमकार कहते हैं -
इस गाथा में "खु" शब्द आया है । वह अवधारणा के अर्थ में है । ज्ञानी-विशिष्ट विवेकसम्पन्न पुरुष के लिए यहीं सार युक्त बात हैं-उचित है, करणीय है कि वह स्थिति शील, गतिशील किन्हीं भी प्राणियों की हिंसा न करे । उन्हें यातना या पीडा न दे। यहां हिंसा न करना उपलक्षण है-संकेत रूप है । इससे यह भी समझना चाहिये कि विवेकशील पुरुष असत्य भाषण न करे, अदत्त वस्तु न ले, अब्रह्मचर्य न सेवे, परिग्रह का संग्रह न करे, तथा रात्रि भोजन भी न करे । ज्ञान प्राप्त करने का यही सार है-उपयोगिता है कि मनुष्य कर्माश्रवों में न पड़े । अहिंसा के कारण जो समत्व भाव पैदा होता है, उसे यथावत समझे । जैसे मुझे मरना अप्रिय लगता है-दुःखजनक लगता है, उसी प्रकार सभी प्राणियों को वह अप्रिय है। यह जानकर विवेकशील मुनि प्राणियों को परितापन-पीड़ा, अपद्रावण-कष्ट न दे। उन्हें पीडित और परितप्त न करे ।

टीकार्थ - साधु समाचारी दस प्रकार की बतलाई गई है । उसे तलवार के समान तीक्ष्ण कहा गया है । उसमेंअवस्थित-उसका पालन करने वाला व्युषित कहलाता है । जिसकी आहार आदि में गृद्धि या लोलुपता मिट जाती है वह विगत गृद्धि-लोलुपता रहित या लिप्साहीन कहा जाता है । जो मुनि इन दोनों गुणों से, जिनसे मोक्ष प्राप्त होता है, युक्त है वह ज्ञान, दर्शन और चारित्र की भली भांति रक्षा करे, अनुपालन करे । जैसे जैसे

Translation AI Generated

The Sutra of the Sri Sutra Kritanga is present. Moreover, one should know the equality of non-violence (ahimsa) as non-violence equality (ahimsa samata) in this way: just as my death is painful and unpleasant, so it is for other living beings. The word "eva" signifies determination. Thus, a virtuous and knowledgeable being should not inflict pain or distress on any living being. ||10||

Commentary: The Agamakaras, while presenting the solution to the question of why one should not harm living beings, say:

In this verse, the word "khu" appears. It signifies determination. For a wise and discerning man, this is the essence: it is proper and necessary that he should not harm any living being, whether stationary or mobile. He should not inflict torture or pain on them. Here, not harming is a euphemism, a symbolic representation. From this, one should also understand that a discerning man should not speak falsely, should not take what is not given, should not engage in sexual misconduct, should not accumulate possessions, and should not eat at night. This is the essence and utility of gaining knowledge: that a man should not fall into karmic afflictions.

Understand the equality that arises from non-violence as it truly is. Just as I find death unpleasant and painful, so it is for all living beings. Knowing this, a discerning muni should not inflict pain or distress, suffering or hardship on living beings. He should not cause them to suffer or be tormented.

He who has awakened and is free from greed should properly protect the right conduct (samm).
In walking, sitting, lying down, and eating, he should be mindful. ||11||

Shadow: He who has awakened and is free from greed should properly protect the right conduct.
In walking, sitting, lying down, and eating, he should be mindful.

Translation: A virtuous and well-behaved muni, who is established in virtuous conduct and properly observes it, should be free from desire in matters of food, etc. He should properly protect knowledge, insight, and conduct. He should keep them intact. In walking, sitting, and eating, he should always be mindful of their proper use.

Commentary: The virtuous and well-behaved is described as having ten characteristics. He is said to be as sharp as a sword. He who is established in this, who observes it, is called "vyushita". He who has overcome greed in matters of food, etc., is called "vigata-girdhi", free from greed or desire. A muni who possesses both these qualities, which lead to liberation, should properly protect, observe, and uphold knowledge, insight, and conduct. As these qualities grow, so should he act accordingly.

How is conduct, etc., maintained? This is shown by the words "charan, san, shayya, bhakta, pane, antash". Walking should be done with a purpose, with a view to the moment, by a virtuous man. One should sit on a seat that is well-considered and well-cleaned. One should lie down on a bed or a mat that is well-considered and well-cleaned. Food and drink should be taken with proper mindfulness. This is what is said: food and drink should be taken with mindfulness, with a view to the proper use of the body, and should be free from the defects of excessive eating, etc. ||11||
