Provided with good (or) bad mental dispositions the sentient are (respectively) merit (or) demerit. Pleasant sensation, good life, (good) denomination (karma), (good) family are merit; and the opposite are demerit.
सम्मइंसण णाणं चरणं मोक्खस्स कारणं जाणे। ववहारा णिच्छयदो तत्तियमइओ णिओ अप्पा॥३९॥ samma-ddamsaņa ņānam caranam mokkhassa kāraṇam jāne vavahārā, nicchayado tattiya-maionio appā.
Right faith, (right) knowledge (and right) conduct, know it, are the cause of salvation from the conventional point of view; from the absolute point of view one's own soul made of all these (three is the cause of salvation).
रयणत्तयं ण वट्टइ अप्पाणं मुयतु अण्णदवियम्हि। तम्हा तत्तियमइओ होदि हु मोक्खस्स कारणं आदा॥४०॥
rayana-ttayam ņa vattai appāņam muyatu anna-daviyamhi. tamhā tattiya-maio hodi hu mokkhassa kāraṇam ādā.
The three jewels do not exist in any other substance than the soul. This is why the soul made of these three is indeed the cause of salvation.
जीवादीसद्दहणं सम्मत्तं रूवमप्पणो तं तु। दुरभिणिवेसविमुक्कं णाणं सम्म खु होदि सदि जम्हि॥४१॥ jīvādī-saddahaņam sammattam rūvam appaņo tam tu. durabhiņivesa-vimukkam ņāņam sammam khu hodi sadi jamhi.
Belief in sentient (substances) and other (principles) is right faith; and it is the definition of the soul. Once it exists, knowledge, deprived of wrong obsessions, becomes indeed right.
