brahmayajñaḥ paraṁ karma
gļhasthasyādhikāriņaḥ 1 pūjādi vītarāgasya
jñanameva tu yoginah 11411 1122011 Meaning : For a layman who is authorized or qualified, only acts such as the worship etc. of the Detached (dan) are a sacrifice called Brahmayajña but for an ascetic, knowledge is a Brahmayajña. (4) (220)
Notes : For a (Jaina) layman, the day is the actual worship of the atacyt (the Detached) and for a teft (Jaina monk), knowledge is the mana. (4) [220]
भिनोद्देशेन विहितं कर्म कर्मक्षयाक्षमम् । क्लप्तभिन्नाधिकारं च पुढेष्ट्यादिवदिष्यताम् ॥५॥ ॥२२१॥ bhinnoddesena vihitam
karma karmaksayāksamami klptabhinnādhikāram ca
putrestyādivadisyatām 11511 1122111 Meaning : Activity prescribed in the scriptures with a different motive is not able to destroy the Karmas. Take it as a sacrifice motivated with a different purpose just as a sacrifice performed for getting a son. (5) [221]
Notes : Any religious act done with a worldly motive can entitle the doer for its attainment but he cannot expect a total annihilation (7827). For a total annihilation one should do the religious act without any motive of a worldly gain. There is essential difference between पुण्यबंध and कर्मक्षय. (5) [221]
