THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
विहितहितमिताशी क्लेशजालं समूलं दहति निहतनिद्रो निश्चिताध्यात्मसारः ॥ २२५ ॥
225. One who is engaged in vows, temporary, and life-long, has acquired internal and external peace, has practised equanimity, has compassion for all the living beings; takes limited and helpful meals, has annihilated sleep, and has ascertained the essence of the nature of the soul, and burns the host of miseries to the very root. समधिगतसमस्ताः सर्वसावा दूराः स्वहितनिहितचित्ताः शान्त सर्वप्रचाराः । स्वपरसफलजल्पाः सर्वसंकल्पभुक्ताः कथमिह न विमुक्तेर्भाजनं ते विमुक्ताः ॥ २२६ ॥

226. Why should not such unattached (recluses) here, deserve liberation, who are proficient in all the principles and who abstain from all sins, who are absorbed in self-advancement, who have controlled all their senses, who are free from all sorts of illusions, and whose speech is beneficial to self and others.
दासत्वं विषयप्रभोगतवतामात्मापि येषां पर - स्तेषां भो गुणदोषशून्यमनसां किं तत्पुनर्नश्यति । भेतव्यं भवतैव यस्य भुवनप्रद्योति रत्नत्रयं भ्राम्यन्तीन्द्रियतस्कराश्च परितस्त्वं तन्मुहुर्जागृहि ॥ २२७ ॥
227. What more can those indiscriminate persons have to lose who have become slaves to the lord of the sense-pleasures, and whose soul itself has become perverse? But thou who hast got the world-illuminating three gems, (right-belief, knowedge, and conduct ) should fear the surrounding robbers (in the garb of) sensedesires. So, thou shouldst always be awake.
