तद्वस्तु न त्रिलोके । जिनधर्मात्तु भवेन यत्साध्यम् ॥ तदुःखं नो किञ्चिद्यस्य विनाशो न जायते धर्मात् ॥१६॥
Meaning :- Which is that thing in the whole universe consisting of the nether, middle, and upper worlds, that is not attainable through the practices and performances of the religion propounded by the extremely detached Souls ? Or to put it negatively, which is that greatest misery in this universe that cannot be obviated by these practices of an ideal religion? In other words, religion is the only thing that blesses, a being with indescribable happiness, extirpating the miseries. There is not a single thing in the universe that can vie with religion in points of potency and supremacy. Thus the greatness of religion beggars description. (96)
