Annexe : 267 commandment of the Tīrthankara, wise and understanding the world according to their commandment, such a man is without danger from anywhere”.
"He who knows wrath, knows pride; he who knows pride, knows deceit: he who knows deceit, knows greed; he who knows greed, knows love; he who knows love, knows hate; he who knows hate, knows delusion; he who knows delusion, knows conception; he who knows conception, knows birth; he who knows birth, knows death; he who knows death, knows hell; he who knows hell, knows animal existence; he who knows animal existence, knows pain. So the wise avoids wrath, pride, deceit, greed, love, hate, delusion, conception, birth, death, hell, animal existence and pain. This is the doctrine of the Seer who does not injure living beings and has put an end to acts and to "samsāra".
“Preventing the propensity to sin destroys the effect of former activities".
“The Arhat and Bhagavata of the past, present and future all say thus, speak thus, declare thus, explain thus: all breathing, existing, living sentient creatures should not be slain, nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away. This is the pure, unchangeable, eternal law which the clever ones, who understand the world, have declared”.
"Day and night exerting thyself, steadfast, always having ready wisdom, perceive that the careless stand outside of salvation. If careful thou wilt always conquer. This I say!"
Extracts from the “Uttarādhyayana-sūtra"
Like the former, the Svetāmbara only acknowledge this book. It contains lessons from Sudharmā to Jambū.
