तथापि जब स्वर्गसे इसका पतन होता है तब इसे सबसे अधिक दुःख होता है ।३३।। उस देवपर्यायमें भी इष्टका वियोग होता है और कितने ही देव अल्पविभूतिके धारक होते हैं जोकि अपनेसे अधिक विभूतिवालेको देखकर दुःखी होते रहते हैं इसलिए उनका मानसिक दुःख भी बड़े दुःखसे व्यतीत होता है ॥३४॥ इस प्रकार यह बेचारा दीन प्राणी इस संसाररूपी चक्रमें अपने खोटे कोंके उदयसे अनेक परिवर्तन करता हुआ दुःख पाता रहता है।॥३५॥ देखो, यह अत्यन्त मनोहर स्त्रीरूपी यन्त्र (नृत्य करनेवाली नीलोजनाका शरीर) हमारे साक्षात् देखते ही देखते किस प्रकार नाशको प्राप्त हो गया ॥३६॥ बाहरसे उज्ज्वल दिखनेवाले स्त्रीके रूपको अत्यन्त मनोहर मानकर कामीजन उसपर पड़ते हैं और पड़ते ही पतंगोंके समान नष्ट हो जाते हैं-अशुभ कर्मोका बन्ध कर हमेशाके लिए दुःखी हो जाते हैं ॥३७॥ इन्द्रने जो यह कपट नाटक किया है अर्थात् नीलांजनाका नृत्य कराया है सो अवश्य ही उस बुद्धिमानने सोच-विचारकर केवल हमारे बोध करानेके लिए ही ऐसा किया है ॥३८॥ जिस प्रकार यह नीलांजनाका शरीर भंगुर था-विनाशशील था इसी प्रकार जीवोंके अन्य भोगोपभोगोंके पदार्थ भी भंगुर हैं, अवश्य नष्ट हो जानेवाले हैं और केवल धोखा देनेवाले हैं ॥३९।। इसलिए भाररूप आभरणोंसे क्या प्रयोजन है, मैलके समान सुगन्धित चन्दनादिके लेपनसे क्या लाभ है, पागल पुरुषकी चेष्टाओंके समान यह नृत्य भी व्यर्थ है और शोकके समान ये गीत भी प्रयोजनरहित हैं ॥४०॥ यदि शरीरकी निजकी शोभा अच्छी है तो फिर अलंकारोंसे क्या करना है और यदि शरीरमें निजकी शोभा नहीं है तो फिर भारस्वरूप इन अलंकारोंसे क्या हो सकता है ? ॥४१॥ इसलिए इस रूपको धिक्कार है, इस असार संसारको धिक्कार है, इस राज्य-भोगको धिक्कार है और बिजलीके समान चंचल इस लक्ष्मीको धिक्कार है ॥४२॥ इस प्रकार जिनकी आत्मा विरक्त हो गयी है ऐसे भगवान् वृषभदेव भोगोंसेविरक्त हुए और काललब्धिको पाकर शीघ्र ही मुक्तिके लिए उद्योग करने लगे ॥४३।। उस समय भगवानके हृदयमें विशुद्धियोंने अपना स्थान जमा लिया था और वे ऐसी मालूम होती थीं मानो मुक्तिरूपी लक्ष्मीके द्वारा प्रेरित हुई उसकी सखियाँ ही सामने आकर उपस्थित हुई हों ॥४४॥ उस

Even in that heaven, there is separation from the beloved, and there are many gods who are of lesser fortune, who are pained by seeing those who are more fortunate than them. Therefore, their mental suffering is also experienced with great sorrow. ||3|| In this cycle of samsara, with its various transformations, the wretched being experiences sorrow due to the ripening of his evil karma. ||35|| See, this extremely beautiful, female-shaped instrument (the body of the dancing Neelajana) has been destroyed before our very eyes. ||36|| Considering the female form, which appears radiant from the outside, to be very beautiful, lustful people fall upon it and, upon falling, are destroyed like moths - they become bound by evil karma and are forever sorrowful. ||37|| This deceitful play, which Indra has enacted, that is, the dance of Neelajana, has surely been done by that wise one, after careful thought, only to awaken us. ||38|| Just as this body of Neelajana was perishable, destined for destruction, so too are the other objects of enjoyment of living beings perishable, destined to be destroyed, and only deceitful. ||39|| Therefore, what is the use of ornaments that are like burdens, what is the benefit of fragrant sandalwood paste that is like dirt, this dance is also useless, like the actions of a madman, and these songs are also purposeless, like sorrow. ||40|| If there is inherent beauty in the body, then what is the need for adornments? And if there is no inherent beauty in the body, then what can be achieved by these burdensome adornments? ||41|| Therefore, this form is to be condemned, this worthless samsara is to be condemned, this enjoyment of kingdom is to be condemned, and this fickle Lakshmi, like lightning, is to be condemned. ||42|| Thus, the eternal Lord Vrishabhadeva, whose soul was detached, became detached from enjoyments and, having obtained the time-bound liberation, quickly began to strive for liberation. ||43|| At that time, the purities took their place in the heart of the Lord, and they appeared as if they were his companions, sent by the Lakshmi of liberation, who had come before him. ||44|| At that time, all of this appeared to him as void, as he attained the highest state of contemplation, being united with the liberated women. ||45||
