pleased how does one fulfil one's required need? The answer to this is that this argument itselr (that he who gets pleased only gives) is wrong. Just as a Chintamaniratna which gives whatever one wants without being pleas. ed, if proper rituals are followed. Similarly, the totally detached Lord also gives the desired, if one follows that path and prescriptions shown by him.
Ch Veetraga ! If one follows your path and prescriptions (31īzir ), it is far better (1.e. it gives greater result) than doing your Pooja (worship). Because following in an exemplary way ( TEST) your orders (Base ), leads to Liberation, and if your ways, prescriptions (1.e. orders) are disobeyed they lead to further cycles of
birth and rebirth in this cosmos ( 21 22 ).

Oh Tirthankara! For all times these are your orders to wards that which leads to good ( È 27 ) and that which leads to the opposite ( 34722T ). Ashrava ( 311 oro ) is worth giving up in every possible way, and Samvara (210T2 is wort!: practicing in every possible way.
Explanation: When one is sinring in any possible way, Kamns are being attracted wd this is called Ashrava. when one has stopped sining and one is in tranquility and equipoise ( 217 ) no karmes (of good or bad variety) are attracted and this is Sagvan.
