MAHAPRATYAKHYANA PRAKĪRṆAKA : 25 I, the restrained aspirant, protect my five great vows by engaging my Self in two auspicious meditations pious and pure and by gaining three auspicious spiritual hues yellow (fire), lotus and white. I, the truthful, who mentally knows the truth, verbally tells the truth and bodily practices the truthful conduct, in three ways protect my five great vows. - I protect my five great vows by controlling the four passions, by freeing myself from the seven types of fears and forsaking the eight places of pride. Endowed with three-way restraint (Tri-Guptis), five-way vigilance (Pañca-Samiti) twelve types of contemplation and right knowledge and attitude, I protect my five great VOWS. Giving up the negligence in three ways by forsaking three types of punishments, by attaining purity of three means and by forsaking three spiritual stings, I protect my five great vows. PROPOUNDING RESTRAINTS AND VIGILANCE Having renounced the three spiritual stings in three ways, I know the (horrible) result of mundane attachment. Only the (three) restraints (of mind, body and speech) and (five types of) vigilance are my shelter and escape. Jain Education International GLORY OF PENANCE As a wise and skilled helmsman keeps the gem-filled ship, surrounded by stormy, choppy sea, on the right path and, thereby saves it from impending destruction, For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
