AYĀRO
One who you think should be killed is none else but you.
ANNOTATION 101. Bhagavān Mahavira was the propounder of the doctrine that all souls are equal to one's own soul. This parity has been expressed in the present sūtra. Its purport is to establish the equality of feelings of two different souls,
The significance of the statement "One who you think should be hit is none else but you", is that one who you hit experiences the same feelings as you do, when you are hit by others.
१०२. अंजू चेय-पडिबुद्ध-जीवी, तम्हा ण हंता ण विधायए। 102. Añjū ceya-padibuddha-jivi, tamhā ņa hamtā ņa
vighāyae.
102. A sage is ingenuous and leads his life after compre
hending (the parity of the killed and the killer). Therefore, neither does he cause violence to others nor does he make others to do so.
ANNOTATION 102. The term arjū (Skt. Rju) means ingennuous, self-disciplined or one who is keen to lead a selfdisciplined life. The purport of the sūtra is that a wise man should abstain from violence, not through hypocrisy or fear, but through ingenuousness and spirit of self-discipline.
१०३. अणुसंवेयणमप्पाणेणं, जं 'हंतव्वं' ति णाभिपत्थए। 103. Anusareyaņa mappānenań, jam 'hamtavvain' ti nā
bhipatthae. 1.03. One has to experience himself the consequencesl of
one own karma. Hence, do not entertain the thought of hitting (i. e, causing violence to) anyone.
1. The term anusa medana can also mean that one has to
suffer exactly the same way as one has made others to suffer,
