________________ MAHĀPRATYĀKHYĀNA PRAKĪRNAKA : 35 104. That one phrase, from the vast Jina faith, which can awaken true detachment and spirituality in him, can shred the web of delusion shrouding him. 105. By repeatedly uttering that one phrase, from the vast Jina faith, which can awaken true detachment and spirituality in him, the aspirant dies but dies not (i.e. he becomes immortal). 106. Whatever promotes detachment must be practised respectfully, because the detached liberates and attached wanders in the endless worldly cycle (of births and deaths). BELIEF IN THE JINA-FAITH 107. (The aspirant must say), “I, in three ways (mentally, verbally and physically), believe in the right-faith propounded by the unattached Lords. This faith is beneficial for both, the stationary as well as the mobile creatures and is the surest way to attain spiritual emancipation. PROPOUNDING VARIOUS TYPES OF RENUNCIATION 108. Firstly, I am an ordained monk and secondly, I am fully restrained. Therefore, I, hereby, renounce everything that has been forbidden by the Lords Jina. 109. I, hereby, in three ways, and reverentially renounce attachment towards the possessions, towards my own body and four types of food.
