12 - THE PURE-COGNITION
ईसाभावेण पुणो केई णिदंति सुंदरं मग्गं । तेसिं वयणं सोच्चाऽभत्तिं मा कुणह जिणमग्गे ॥ १८६॥
(यदि) कोई लोग ईर्ष्या - भाव से सुन्दर मार्ग की निन्दा करते हैं तो भी उनके वचन सुनकर जिनमार्ग के प्रति अभक्ति (अश्रद्धा) नहीं करना ।
If some persons, out of jealousy, deride this beautiful path (to liberation), still (O worthy disciple !), on hearing their words, do not lose devotion to the path of the Conquerors (Jina).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Some wrong-believer (mithyādrsti) and dumb persons, out of envy and malice, resort to deriding this beautiful path to liberation - comprising the ‘Three Jewels' of right faith (samyagdarśana), right knowledge (samyagjñāna), and right conduct (samyakcāritra) - expounded by the Omniscient Lord Jina. In doing so, they put forward faulty accounts, illustrations, and arguments. O worthy (bhavya) disciple ! On hearing such persons, do not ever lose devotion to this path, which has the power to rid the soul of the karmic dirt.
