THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
वुधैस्त्याज्यं त्यागाद्यदि भवति मुक्तिश्च जडधी स कस्त्यक्तुं नावं खलजनसमायोगसदृशम् ॥ १०५।
105. Knowing well this (body) from its conception all along to its death to be full of pain, filthiness, fear, contempt, and sin, and also of no avail, it is fit to be abandoned by the wise, if by abandonment liberation can be had. What fool is that who cannot give up this body, as (injurious as) the company of a wicked man.
कुबोधरागादिविचेष्टितैः फलम् त्वयापि भृयोजननादि लक्षणम्। ' प्रतीहि भव्यप्रतिलोमवर्तिभिध्रुवं फलं प्राप्स्यसि तद्विलक्षणम् ॥१०६॥
106. Thou hast suffered the consequence of false knowledge, attachment and such evil acts, in the shape of births and re-births. Be assured that thou wilt certainly attain just the opposite result (i. e. liberation) by noble acts of an opposite character (absence of attatchment, etc.).
दयादमत्यागसमाधिसन्ततेः पथि प्रयाहि प्रगुणं प्रयत्नवान् । नयत्यवश्यं वचसामगोचरं विकल्पदूरं परमं किमप्यसौ॥१०७॥
107. Pursue actively and straight, the path of continuous observance of compassion, self-control, renunciation, and equanimity. This verily leads (thee) to the highest (position), free from anxieties and beyond the power of words (to describe). विज्ञाननिहितमोहं कुटीप्रवेशो विशुद्धकायमिव । स्यागः परिग्रहाणामवश्यमजरामरं कुरुते ॥१०॥
108. The renunciation of mundane objects undoubte edly liberates one who has shaken off delusion by means of right-knowledge, from decrepitude and death; just as Kuti Pravesha (a kind of austerity) makes the body pure.
अभुक्त्वापि परित्यागात्स्वोच्छिष्टं विश्वमासितम् । येनचित्रं नमस्तस्मै कुमारब्रह्मचारिणे ॥१०॥
