जो जाणदि अरहंतं दव्वत्तगुणत्तपज्जयत्तेहिं। सो जाणदि अप्पाणं मोहो खलु जादि तस्स लयं ।।
(Pravachansaar - 80)
Meaning: By understanding omniscient lord (Arahant) from three perspectives - soul substance of the Lord, attributes of the Lord, and past, present, and future states of the Lord - one understands the Self that leads to the destruction of delusion.
णियमेण य जं कज्जं तं नियमं णाणदंसणचरित्तं । विवरीयपरिहरत्थं भणिदं खलु सारमिदि वयणं ।।
(Niyamsaar -3)
Meaning: Niyam is that which is worth doing. NiyamSaar means only relevant and useful Niyam. Therefore, NiyamSaar means right belief, right knowledge, and right conduct.
उप्पत्ती व विणासो दव्वस्स य णत्थि अत्थि सब्भावो । विगमुप्पादधुवत्तं करेंति तस्सेव पज्जाया । ।
(Panchastikaya Sangraha – 11)
Meaning: A substance (Dravya) is neither created nor destroyed. Its states undergo creation and destruction together with sustainment of the substance (Dravya).
In Ashtapahud, 5th and 6th stanzas of SheelPahuda reveal the following:
गाणं चरित्तहीणं लिंगग्गहणं च दंसणविहूणं । संजमहीणो य तवो जइ चरइ णिरत्थयं सव्व ।। गाणं चरित्तसुद्धं लिंगग्गहणं च दंसणविसुद्धं । संजमसहिदो य तवो थोओ वि महाफलो होइ ।।
(Sheelpaahuda - 5 and 6)
Meaning: Without right conduct spiritual knowledge is meaningless, without right belief external conduct and marks of religious development are meaningless, and without self discipline and nonviolence penance is meaningless. Spiritual knowledge with right conduct, external conduct and marks of religious development with right belief, and penance with self discipline and non-violence (Sanyam), all these
