Jain Terms Preserved:
The Acharya has indicated towards the Irya Samiti (Carefulness in walking) through the Shri Sutrakritanga Sutra. The Irya Samiti is just an example. All other Samitis (Carefulness) should be taken from this. The way described in the scriptures, the same way the Samyama (Self-restraint) should be practiced. All the Tirthankaras (Enlightened Beings) have emphasized this point.
Virya vira samutthiya, kohakaya riyaipesana.
Pane na hananti savvaso, pavaao viraya'bhinivvuda.
Translation:
The courageous ones, who have risen above, are the crushers of anger, pride, deceit, and greed. They do not kill any living being completely, for they are established in Virati (Abstinence) and have been liberated from sins.
Commentary:
The ones who are abstinent from sins like violence, falsehood, etc., and have particularly destroyed their Karmas, and have risen above by abandoning the undertakings of violence, etc., they are the Viras (Courageous ones). They have conquered anger, pride, deceit, and greed. They do not kill any living being completely through their mind, speech, and body. They are abstinent from all sins and are tranquil like the liberated souls.
Navi ta ahameva luppe, luppanti lo amsi panino.
Evam sahiehi pasae, anihe se pudhe ahiyasae.
Translation:
Not even by them am I harmed, but the living beings in the world are harmed. Thus, the one who is free from possessiveness, when he sees with equanimity, he endures what is inflicted on him.
