________________ Verse 162-163 and the possessor-of-quality (guni). The soul, established in the soul, itself becomes conduct (caritra), knowledge (jnana) and perception (darsana). In other words, the soul is of the nature of conduct (caritra), knowledge (jnana) and perception (darsana). In order to explain these three to the worthy souls treading the path to liberation, from the empirical (vyavahara) point-of-view, these are separated and described individually with their marks (laksana). Acarya Kundakunda's Niyamasara: सुहअसुहवयणरयणं रायादीभाववारणं किच्चा / अप्पाणं जो झायदि तस्स दुणियम हवे णियमा // 120 // शुभ-अशुभ वचन-रचना तथा रागादिक भावों का निवारण करके जो आत्मा को ध्याता है, उसके नियम से 'नियम' - अर्थात् 'रत्नत्रय' जो नियम से करने योग्य है - होता है। He, who meditates on the soul (atma) renouncing all speechactivity - auspicious (subha) and inauspicious (asubha) - and also dispositions of attachment (raga), etc., as a rule, attains the indispensable 'niyama', or, the 'Three Jewels' (ratnatraya). सर्व संसारी जीवों के मोक्षमार्ग की योग्यता का निषेध - Not all worldly souls are eligible to tread the path to liberation - जेण विजाणदि सव्वं पेच्छदि सो तेण सोक्खमणुहवदि / इदि तं जाणदि भविओ अभव्वसत्तो ण सद्दहदि // 163 // येन विजानाति सर्वं पश्यति स तेन सौख्यमनुभवति / इति तज्जानाति भव्योऽभव्यसत्त्वो न श्रद्धत्ते // 163 // . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 311
