________________
All the Tirthankara (the Arhat) have destroyed the karmaparticles by adopting the above method and have attained liberation after preaching this path-to-liberation. I make obeisance to all the Tirthankara (the Arhat).
प्रवचनसार
Explanatory Note: The Tirthankara have first realized the nature of the soul by knowing the Arhat with respect to substance (dravya), qualities (guna), and modes (paryāya). Then they destroyed karmas by experiencing that the nature of their own soul is no different from that of the Arhat. Subsequently, they preached, for the benefit of the excellent (bhavya) souls, that this is the only way to attain liberation. Even today, in this fifth era (pańcama kāla), their Doctrine is followed. What more is there to say? The Tirthankara (the Arhat) - vītarāga, who have subjugated all attachment - are supremely propitious; my obeisance humble to them in the three times - the past, the present and the future.
दव्वादिसु मूढो भावो जीवस्स हवदि मोहो ति । खुब्भदि तेणोच्छण्णो पप्पा रागं व दोसं वा ॥1-83॥
द्रव्यादिकेषु मूढो भावो जीवस्य भवति मोह इति । क्षुभ्यति तेनावच्छन्नः प्राप्य रागं वा द्वेषं वा ॥11-83॥
सामान्यार्थ - [ जीवस्य ] आत्मा का [ द्रव्यादिकेषु ] द्रव्य, गुण, पर्याय में जो [ मूढः भावः ] विपरीत अज्ञानभाव है सो [ मोहः इति ] मोह ऐसा नाम [ भवति ] होता है, अर्थात् जिस भाव से यह जीव धतूरा खाने वाले पुरुष के समान द्रव्य, गुण, पर्यायों को यथार्थ नहीं जानता है और न श्रद्धान करता है, उस भाव को 'मोह' कहते हैं। [ तेन ] उस दर्शनमोह करके [ अवच्छन्नः ] आच्छादित जो यह जीव है सो
