English Translation (preserving Jain terms):
The Shri Sutrakritanga Sutra states: "One who has eyes is better to be seen than many who are blind." (3) Meaning: One who has vision is better to be seen than many who are blind.
Further, "Thus, even the many who are deluded do not know the measure of the path. The wandering in the Samsara is crooked, as is the bondage and liberation." (4) Meaning: Thus, even the many who are deluded do not know the measure of the path. The wandering in the cycle of rebirth (Samsara) is crooked, as is the bondage and liberation.
Moreover, when the proponents of the Goshala school of thought and the followers of the Digambara tradition are unable to establish their position with appropriate means of knowledge such as valid reasons and examples, then they abandon the debate and instead boldly assert that the Puranas, Smritis (scriptures), the Vedas with their Angas, and Ayurveda (the science of life) are scriptures validated by the command of the Omniscient Lord. Therefore, they claim, these should not be refuted through reasoning. What is the need for external means like logic and inference to examine the religion, since our religion is the best, being accepted by many people and honored by kings and emperors? Other sects engage in futile debates and make such audacious claims, which should be responded to in this manner.
Dharmas (religious practices) devoid of the essence of knowledge are many. Even if accepted by many, they do not serve any purpose. Just as a large heap of castor oil plant wood is not worth even a small measure of fragrant sandalwood, similarly, the multitude of ignorant people, despite their large number, are not equal to the few who possess knowledge and discrimination.
"Overcome by attachment and aversion, deluded by false beliefs, they take refuge in abuse, like the barbarians taking refuge in the mountain." (18) Meaning: Overcome by attachment and aversion, deluded by false beliefs, when the proponents of other doctrines are defeated in the discussion of the principles, they take refuge in abuse, just like the barbarians taking refuge in the mountain.
