way of illustration for the instruction of the disciple.
Yatkhalu kasayayogatprananam divyabhavarupa
nam| Vyapara panasya karanam suniscita bhavati sa
hinsall 43. Whatever injury to the physical or montal principle of life, is caused through the action of passions, is certainly Hinsa.
Apradurbhavah khalu ragadinam bhavatya hinseti |
Tosamevot pattirhinseti Jinaganasya sanksepahl 44. Assuredly, the absence of passions is Ahinsa (peace) and their presence is Himsa (Injury). This is a summary of thę Jaina Philosophy.
Yuktacarnasya sato ragady avesamantrenapi
Nahi bhavati jatu hinsa pranavyaparopapadevali 45. A good man who, not moved by passion, conducts himself if properly does not commit Himsa even by injuring life.
Vyuthanavasthayam ragadinam vasa pravrattayam
Mriyato jivomava dhavatyagre dhruvam hinsall 46. And, if one acts carelessly moved by the passions, there advances Himsa in front of him, whether a living being is killed or not.
Yas matsakasayah sana hantyatma prathama mat
manatmanam Pascajjaye tanava hinsa pranyantranamtul 47. Because under the influence of passion, the spirit first injures the self, through the self, whether there is subsequenta ly an injury caused to another being or not.
Hinsaya mviramanam hinsa parinamanamapi bhavati
binsa Tasmatpramattayoge pranavya paropanam nityam||
48. The want of abstinence from Himsa and indulgence in Himsa, both constitute Himsa; and thus in living in a careless manner, there always is injury to life-principle.
Suksmapi na khalu binsa paravastanibandhana bha
vati punsah |
