________________ CANDRAVEDHYAKA PRAKĪRNAKA : 59 141. The passions of the blessed do not rise on stimulation by those of the others, just as a well (comfortably) seated lame (person does not wish to rise). 142. The monk, whose passions are intense even while practicing monastic vows, his monasticism is of no use just as the sugar-cane flower. 143. These passions destroy, in a moment, the conduct of a person, who may have practiced the monastic conduct for a period of little less than ten million pūrva years. 144. The karma accumulated due to the flaws of negligence etc., over an infinite period of time can be shed, over a period of ten million pūrva years, by a person who has overcome attachment and aversion. 145. When a person can fall after subduing many a passion, then how to believe one, who has a few passions left? 146. Subsidence of passions results in spiritual weal, conquering them one becomes the victor Jina, their destruction leaves no fear, destroying them one becomes indestructible and victory over them results in happiness. sukkham je. kşa. ke. 11 2 jae and kao kāpā. 11 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
