After knowing the inclination of Chitta Saarthi Keshi Kumar Shraman in an impartial attitude, said-"Do as you wish to and what gives you inner pleasure" Thereafter knowing that he (Chitta) has a desire to cross the worldly ocean, he has the capability of doing so and that he has need of guidance and knowledge of implied situations and that without proper knowledge of the true path there is likelihood of going astray, he pointed out casually - "Ma Padibandham Kareyee" (which means you should not delay in translating such thoughts into action).
It is the duty of the guide to create a fervent desire in the heart of beings fit for liberation (Bhavya) and to show them the path of liberation. Further selection of the path has to be done by the person concerned himself.
२२१. तए णं से चित्ते सारही केसिकुमारसमणस्स अंतिए पंचाणुब्वइयं जाव गिहिधम्मं उवसंपज्जित्ताणं विहर। तए णं से चित्ते सारही केसिकुमारसमणं बंदइ नमसइ, नमंसित्ता जेणेव चाउग्घंटे आसरहे तेणेव पहारेत्थ गमणाए । चाउग्घंटं आसरहं दुरूहइ, जामेव दिसिं पाउब्भूएतामेव दिसिं पडिगए ।
२२१. तब चित्त सारथी ने केशीकुमार श्रमण के पास पाँच अणुव्रत यावत् (सात शिक्षाव्रतरूप) श्रावकधर्म को अगीकार किया।
तत्पश्चात् चित्त सारथी ने केशीकुमार श्रमण की वंदना की, नमस्कार किया । नमस्कार करके जहाँ चार घटो वाला अश्व रथ था, उस ओर चलने को तत्पर हुआ। वहाँ जाकर चार घंटो वाले अश्व रथ पर आरूढ हुआ, फिर जिस ओर से आया था, वापस उसी ओर लौट गया।
221. Then Chitta Saarthi accepted five partial vows and seven supporting vows-The vows of the householder from Keshi Kumar Shraman.
Thereafter Chitta Saarthi bowed to Keshi Kumar Shraman, greeted him and then came to the four-belled horse-driven chariot, got ready for the return, rode the chariot and went in the same direction from which he had come.
विवेचन - पाँच अणुव्रत तथा सात शिक्षव्रतो का स्वरूप समझने के लिए सचित्र उपासकदशा, प्रथम अध्ययन का अनुशीलन करना चाहिए।
Elaboration-To understand five minor (or partial) vows and seven supplementary vows one may study Illustrated Upasakdasha Sutra, Chapter First.
