________________ azadas 45 ROSS But all said and done, Dashavaikalik Sutra has its own important place because it combines many of the said attributes. First of all, Dashavaikalik Sutra is written in verse as well as short passages of prose. This makes it easy to understand and remember, as if it was a collection of aphorisms. Secondly the variety of subjects contained gives it the attractive appearance of a bouquet. Different Agams discuss different themes, simple as well as complicated, but Dashavaikalik Sutra is a collection of all these themes including philosophy, ethics, behavior, and conduct. It is concise but profound. The aphorisms contained within Dashavaikalik Sutra have enriching messages for the benefit of humanity. Every such aphorism is like a million rupee diamond. If one follows the message contained in just one sentence his life will undergo a healthy change. Every verse is so deeply meaningful that it may be appropriately called an urn containing an ocean. It has been composed in a forceful language and eloquent style.
