JAINISM AND BUDDHISM
Ekatva Bhavana by Padmanandi. मोक्ष एव सुखं साक्षात्तश्च साद्यम् मुमुक्षुभिः। संसारेऽत्र तु तन्नास्ति यदस्तिखलुतनतम् ॥ ६॥ Moksa êva sukham sâksáttachcha sâdhyam mumuk
subhih, Samsåretratu tannásti yadasti khalu tannatam.
“ Nirvana itself is Bliss, which should be procured by those desirous of liberation. That is not found in this world ; what is here verily is not that."
Siddhastuti by the same author. ते सिद्धाः परमेष्टिनो न विषयावाचामतस्तान्प्रति । प्रायोवच्मि यदेवतत्खलुनभस्यालेख्यमालिख्यते ॥ तन्नामपि भुदे स्मृतं तत इतो भक्तयाथ वाचालित । स्तेषां स्तोत्रमिदं तथापि कृतवानम्भोजनंदी मुनिः ॥ Té Siddhậh para mêsthino Visayâ Vâchâmatastiin
proti : Prâyô vachmi yadéva tatkhalu nabhasyai
lêkhya mâlikhyaté, Tannâmapi mudê smritam tata itô bhakt yâtha
cáchứlita Stesâm stôtra midam tathậpi Kritawânambhoja
nandi munih. (29) “Those perfect liberated ones are not objects of speech ; whatever description is given about them is like drawing a picture in the sky; but as their name ever procures happiness, therefore Padmanandimuni has has praised them on account of devotion."
