Meaning: The internal world of the monk consisting of merits and independent of other objects is much more superior to that of Brahma which is external and dependent on extrinsic causes. (7) [159]
Notes: There is a cent per cent disparity between what both have got-the Ideal Monk and the Brahmā. The former's opulance is spiritual and the latter's, material. (7) [159]

Meaning: The status of Arhat also which, on account of three jewels, is as pure as the three currents of the Ginges, is not far from the monk who has mastered yoga (activity ). (8) [160]
Jain Education International
Notes: means threefold activity, mental, verbal and physical. Arhathood is at the door of an Ideal Monk who brought the purity of threefold activities to consummation. (8) [160]
