The Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra, for the liberation from the cycle of birth and death, the Tirthankaras, Ganadharas, etc., are the embodiments of the Dravya Samadhis, which are producers of pleasure from touch, etc., are Anekantika and Anatyantika, and ultimately produce Samadhi. Thus it is said:
"Although the objects of the mind, which are to be avoided, are pleasing, they are like the Kimpaka fruit, which is pleasant at first, but later becomes very difficult to digest." ||1||
And so on. Thus, the 'Buddha', who has realized the truth, is devoted to the four types of knowledge, etc., and is established in 'Viveka', or is devoted to the Dravya Bhava, which is the abandonment of food, utensils, and passions. Such a person is free from the ten types of destruction of life, etc. Therefore, he is established in the right path, the soul of whom is established in the 'Thiyacci', or is endowed with a pure, stable, and radiant Leshya. ||6||
Commentary: One who engages in a livelihood that is compassionate and pitiful is called a beggar, etc., and he also commits sin. In some places, the reading 'Adin Bhoji' is found. Its meaning is that a man who earns his livelihood with great difficulty also commits sin. It is said that a man who wanders about for a piece of bread, who is wicked and immoral, does not escape hell. Such an ignorant creature, if he does not get a good, pleasant meal, may become distressed and angry, and may even be born in the seventh hell. For example, in the city of Rajagriha, a monk, not getting alms from the people who had come out for a festival, became angry with them and was about to climb Mount Vaibhar to throw stones at them. He started climbing, but by chance his foot slipped. He fell and died. Therefore, one who earns his livelihood with the sorrow of a beggar also commits sin. Knowing this, the Tirthankaras and Ganadharas, etc., have preached and expounded the knowledge, etc., in the form of Bhava Samadhi, which is liberating from the ocean of the world, which is Anekantika and Anatyantika, and which is conducive to the welfare of the soul. Dravya Samadhi produces physical pleasures from touch, etc., but it is not Anekantika or Anatyantika. The pleasures obtained from them are uncertain and short-lived, and ultimately they produce Asamadhi and suffering. It is said: Just as the Kimpaka fruit is very pleasing to eat, but later proves to be very painful. In the same way, worldly enjoyments also please the mind when they are enjoyed, but later become very painful. Therefore, a wise and knowledgeable man should remain devoted to the four types of knowledge, etc., Samadhi. Or he should abandon food, utensils, and passions, and engage in Dravya Bhava Samadhi. By doing so, he will be free from the ten types of destruction of life, etc., and will keep his soul firmly established in the right path, the path of right practice. Or, according to the reading 'Thiyacci', the saint should be endowed with a pure, stable, and radiant Leshya.
All the world should be seen with equanimity, one should not do anything that is pleasant or unpleasant to anyone. ||7||
Commentary: The saint should see the whole world with equanimity, he should not do anything that is pleasant or unpleasant to anyone. Or he should not consider anyone to be pleasant or unpleasant. There are many who, having risen up, having taken vows,
