[29] Sanstāraka Payannā Sūtra-6 - Hindi Translation
Sūtra-1
Saluting the Supreme Lord Mahāvīra, the Śramaṇa Bhagavān, the Kevala Jnānī, who is like a bull among the common Kevala Jnānīs, and the Lord of Gods, Śrī Jineśvara Deva; I speak of the tradition obtained by accepting the Santhāra, which is the worship of the final time. Sūtra-2
This worship, as spoken by Śrī Jina, is in the form of the worship of the Dharma of conduct. Well-behaved men desire this final worship, because it is the acceptance of the flag of all their worship throughout their lives. Sūtra-3
Just as poor men find joy in wealth, grain, etc., and then strong men take pride in winning the victory flag, and from its lack they experience disgrace and sorrow, so well-behaved men find joy and pride in this worship. Sūtra-4,5
Just as vaidūrya is for all kinds of gems, sandalwood is for all kinds of fragrant substances, and vajra is for all kinds of jewels, and just as the Arihant Paramātma is for all the best men, and the mother of the Tīrthankaras is for all the women of the world, so this worship of Santhāra is superior for the well-behaved soul. Sūtra-6
And just as the lineage of Śrī Jineśvara Deva is for the lineage, the Śrāvakakula is for all the families, the Siddhi Gati is for the movement, the liberation is for all kinds of happiness, and Sūtra-7
just as the Śrī Jina-spoken Ahiṃsā Dharma is for all the Dharma, the words of the virtuous man are for the words of the people, and the purity of the Ātmaguṇa in the form of Samyaktva is for all kinds of purity, so this worship is essential in the Śrī Jina-spoken worship of the final time. Sūtra-8
This worship in the form of Samadhi-Mṛtyu is truly auspicious. It is the ultimate cause of progress and advancement. Therefore, such worship is rare even for the gods in the three worlds. Even the Indra of the heavenly world desires the death of a learned man with Samadhi with one mind. Sūtra-9
O obedient one! You have obtained the Śrī Jina-spoken death of a learned man. Therefore, without any doubt, you have obtained the victory flag in the form of the attainment of that Siddhi by defeating the Karma-Malla. Sūtra-10
Just as the Paramśukladhyāna is for all kinds of meditation, Kevala Jnāna is for knowledge like Matyādi Jnāna, and the Yathākhyāta Chāritra obtained from the suppression of Kṣaya, etc., is the cause of liberation in all kinds of Chāritra.
