Jinabhadra Gaņi's [The ninth पथ्याहारस्य क्रमेण वृद्धावारोग्यवृद्धिस्तथा पुण्यवृद्धौ सुखवृद्धिः, यथा च पथ्याहारस्य क्रमेण परिहारे सरोगता भवति, एवं पुण्यापचये दुःखोत्पत्तिः, सर्वथा पथ्याहारपरिहारे च मरणवत् पुण्यक्षये मोक्ष इति ॥३६॥ (१९०९)
D C.-The first case-viz, that punya alone exists and there is nothing like pāpamis discussed as follows:
That which purifies is called punya. With the gradual increase in punya, there is a gradual rise in happiness also, leading ultimately to Salvation which is the highest happiness. On the other hand, when there is a gradual decrease in punya, happiness also decreases and gradually begins to turn into misery, leading ultimately to the agony of hell. Finally, when there is entire diminution of punya, Jîva attains complete liberation, be it dies. This resembles the case of wholesome diet.
Just as, by the gradual increase in wholesome diet, one becomes more and more healthy, so also by the gradual eminence of punyas, there is a gradual rise in happiness also. On the other hand, just as, when the wholesome diet is abandoned, the disease re-enters the body, and one becomes ill, so also when there is gradual diminution of punya, there is gradual diminution in happiness and re-generation of misery. Ultimately, by abandoning the wholesome diet entirely, one dies away. In the same way, by the entire destruction of punya, giva attains complete liberation from this world. || 361 || (1909)
Taking the second theory of pāpa, the author explains :पावुकरिसेऽहमया तरतमजोगावगरिसओ सुभया । तस्सेव खए मोक्खो अपत्थभत्तोवमाणाओ ॥३६२ ॥ (१९१०) Pāvukkarise'hamayā taratamajogāvagarisao subhayā || Tasseva khae mokkho apatthabhattopamāṇāo u 362 # ( 1910 )
