CHAPTER III.
DEALING WITH RIGHT CONDUCT.
विगलितदर्शनमोहैः समञ्जस ज्ञान विदित तत्त्वार्थैः ।
नित्यमपि निः प्रकम्पैः सम्यक् चारित्रमालम्ब्यम् ॥ ३७ ॥
Right conduct is followed by those who have destroyed Delution; who having acquired right knowledge know the full significance of the Tattwas, and who are firm and unshakeable.
विगलितदर्शनमोहैः= by those who have destroyed delution or belief founded on ignorance; angramafafgaazar:= by those who have by Right knowledge known the reality of the Tattwas; नित्यमपि = and always; निःप्रकम्पैः =by those who are unshakeable ; सम्यक् चारित्रम् = Right Conduct ; श्रालम्ब्यम् = should be adopted.
नहि सम्यक् व्यपदेशं चारित्रमज्ञानपूर्वकं लभते । ज्ञानान्तरमुक्तं चारित्राराधनं तस्मात् ॥ ३८ ॥
Conduct which follows Ignorance can never bo designated Right"; therefore the acquisition of Right Conduct is lectured upon subsequent to "Knowledge."
