## The Study of Adana - Translation
**Verse 13:**
The study of Adana - The man who is engaged in the path of restraint as exemplified by the Tirthankaras, does not oppose or harbor animosity towards any living being in thought, word, or deed. He is truly the one with vision, the one with eyes, the one who sees the ultimate truth.
**Commentary:**
The term "Anidrisha" refers to something that is unparalleled, unique. This refers to the restraint or the Dharma as taught by the Mauniendras (Tirthankaras). The man who is skilled or proficient in this restraint, does not oppose or harbor animosity towards any living being. He cultivates friendship towards all beings. This is achieved through the three yogas of mind, speech, and body, and the three karmas of action, reaction, and approval. The commentator explains that this man is peaceful in mind, speaks truthfully and beneficially, and controls all harmful bodily actions. He walks with awareness, observing the ground carefully. Thus, he is truly the one with vision, the one with eyes, the one who sees the ultimate truth.
**Verse 14:**
Those who are free from desires, who are the end of all desires, are like eyes for all people. Just as the end of a razor or a wheel is the part that moves, similarly, the end of the binding karma is the destruction of the cycle of birth and death.
**Commentary:**
The word "Hu" in the verse signifies "possession". The one who has attained the destruction of karma, who has broken the bonds of karma, is the one who is proficient in the unparalleled restraint or the Dharma as taught by the Tirthankaras. This man is like an eye for the aspiring souls, revealing the true nature of things. He is the one who has ended all desires, all cravings for worldly pleasures. The commentator uses the example of a razor and a wheel to illustrate this point. Just as the end of a razor or a wheel is the part that moves, similarly, the end of the binding karma is the destruction of the cycle of birth and death.
