________________ कनकसेन का स्वतंवचनामत 403 The emancipation takes place when there is the total annihilation of nescience (avidya) which is also known as the major karmic matter, the obscurer of perception and knowledge and the producer of delusion and obstruction (26). निष्किष्टकालकं स्वर्ण तत् स्यात् अग्निविशेषतः। तथा रागक्षयात् एषः क्रमात् भवति निर्मलः // 27 // Just as a piece of gold by coming into contact with a special kind of fire can become free from all dirt, similarly the soul gradually becomes free from [karmic) dirt by the destruction of attachment (27). बाह्यांतरगसामग्रे परमात्मनि भावनां / योऽभ्युदेति आत्मनः सम्यक् (तत्) सम्यगदर्शनं मतं // 28 // The true insight is that which arises in the soul when there is the contemplation of the true self in the presence of the totality of the internal and the external efficient causes (28). स्वपरिच्छित्तिपुराणं यत्, तत् प्रतिच्छित्तिकारण / ज्योतिः प्रदीपवत् भाति, सम्यग ज्ञानं तदीरितं // 2 // The right knowledge is said to be that which shines like flame and is the immediate cause of perceiving the objects as well as discriminating between the self and non-self (29). तत्पर्यायस्थिरत्वं वा स्वास्थ्यं वा चित्तवृत्तिषु / सर्वावस्थास माध्यस्थ्य तद् वत्त अथ वा स्मृतम् / / 30 / / The pure conduct is described as that which is firmness in that state [of discrimination), - . the complete stillness of all operations of the mind and the equanimity in all states (30). एतत् त्रितयं एवास्य हेतुः समुदितं भवेत् / / नान्यत् कल्पितं अन्यः यद्वादिभिः युक्तिबाधितं // 31 // Only the combination of these three may be considered the proper means of [attaining) this femancipation) and not those imagined by the disputants whose arguments are opposed to reasoning (31). इत्थं स्वतंत्रवचनामृतं आपिबन्ति स्वात्म स्थितेः कनकसेनमुखेन्दु सूतम् ये जिह्वया श्रुतिपुते (त्रि) युगेन भव्या: तेजरामरपदं सपदि श्रयन्ति // 32 // These are the immortal words on the free soul coming from the moon-like mouth of Kanakasena [the poet], well established in his own self. Those devout souls, who with body, speech and mind recieve this ambrosia of words through their cars and taste it with their tongue [i. e. listen to it and repeat it] surely will instantly attain to the state free from decay and death (32). ॥इति स्वतंत्रवचनामृतं समाप्त। Thus is Completed the Immortal Sayings on the Free Soul.
