________________ 14 KÁRTTISBY ANUPRIKAZ This list as compared with that in the Tattvarthasticaco is wanting in Educity, and tattoncinta-bhavana geems to be additional: any way the twelvefold enumeration is maintained, 8) In one of the Paiņņaya texts, namely, the Marcuscindh, the twelve Bhāvanās are thug enumerated: ! amicourbone, MEN Sent, 4 annatta, 5 sarisara, 6 cesubhari, 7 logasschaava, 8 , 9 samvert, 10 nijjurance, 11 zettamo-grano und 12 boni-dullahaya." The object of these BhaYanãs is to inculcato ucirágya or the spirit of detachment and renunciation and they are explained in detail, in some 70 gathas (569-688). 1) In this world the position and pelf, contacts and coresidencc, physical gifts and worldly accessories are all transitory (574-77). 2) When one is pestered by birth, old age and doath, the only shelter is the Jina-sasada. Even with all the military equipments no king has been able to conquer death, Neither miracleg nor medicines, neither friends nor relatives, not even gods, can gave a man from death; and none else can share his agonies (578-88). 9) Otheța do not accompany one to the next world. One has to offer all alone for one's Karnas. It is futile to weep for others without understanding one's own plight (584-88). 4) The body and relatives are all separata from the self (589). 5) With the mind deluded and not knowing the contact path, the Atman wanders in Sansira, in vurious births, suffering physical pains and mental agonies. Birth, death, privations etc, are to be faced all along the same soul plays different roles in different births without following the Dharma ( 590-600). 6) Dharma alone is fubha, auspicious or beneficial, while wealth and pleasures lead one ultimately to misery (601-4). 7) There is no happiness in this world, in the various grados of existence. Birth, death, disease, impure body, separatiou and montal disturbances: all these leave to room for happiness (605-10), 8) Attachment, arersion, Degligenoe, sensual temptationg, greed, fivefold sin: all these lead to the inflow of Karmap into the soul like water into a leaky boat (611-18). 9) Eradication of passions, subjugation of sensos, restraint over mind, speech and body through knowledge, meditation and penances rescue the soul from Karmic influx ( 619-24). 10) Fortunate are those who have severed worldly attachment, follow the path of religious life, and thus destroy the Karmas (625-28). 11) The path of religion preuched by Jinks is highly beneficial. Deeper the detachment and spirit of renunciation, neurer one goes to the 1) Prakirnaka-datakam ( Bomboy 1927), pp. 136 ff. 2) पदर्भ अणिमा असरणयं एगयं च अन्नत्तं । संसारमसुमया विय विविई लोगत्सवाव च ॥ कम्मरस आसवं संवरच निचरणमुत्तमे व गुणे। जिणसासणम्मि योहि च बुद्ध वितर महमे ।।
