Those who follow the Guru's teachings, those who are free from the great ocean of worldly desires, are called the great ocean. || I say. || Translation - The attainment of self-welfare is very difficult. In this context, the Dharma formulated by the Arhat-Tirthankaras is the best of all Dharmas - knowing this, the attainment of self-welfare is easy, knowing this, those who follow the Guru's commands, those who walk on the path prescribed by them, those who are free from worldly enjoyments and desires, have crossed this ocean of the world. I say so.
Commentary - Again, referring to another teaching, he says - Thus, knowing that self-welfare is very difficult, knowing the great difference of Dharmas, the special Dharma, or the difference of karma, or if 'Mahantar', knowing the opportunity of human, Arya Kshetra, etc., knowing this Jain Dharma, Shruta Charitra, accompanied by welfare, etc., many people, those who are accompanied by knowledge, etc., those who are light-karmic, those who are devoted to the Guru, Acharya, etc., or the Tirthankara, those who follow the teachings, those who follow the prescribed path, those who are free from sinful karmas, those who are spread out, the great ocean, the endless ocean of the world, is called by me, by you, and by other Tirthankaras. The word 'iti' is used to indicate the end. 'Bravimi' - I speak. This is the same as before. ||32||
The second objective of the Vaitaliya is complete. Commentary - The Agamkar again teaches in another way -
As mentioned earlier, the attainment of self-welfare - the welfare of the soul is very difficult. Knowing this, those who have understood the mutual difference - the difference of all Dharmas, and have assimilated the best auspicious Dharma, or those who have understood the difference of karmas - the different results of different karmas, and have understood the best conduct worthy of a virtuous person, the favorable opportunities like Arya Kshetra, etc., have accepted the Shruta Charitra form, the Dharma propagated by the omniscient. By the practice of knowledge, etc., knowledge, conduct, they have lightened their karmas. Following the path shown by their Guru, Acharya, Tirthankaras, they have renounced sinful karmas, such men have crossed this endless ocean of the world - crossed it. I have told you this. Other Tirthankaras have also said so. Here, the word 'iti' is used in the sense of ending. 'Bravimi' - I speak. This is the same as before, so it should be added.
The second objective of the second study called Vaitaliya is complete.
