श्रीमदमृतचन्द्रविरचितः
O Jina! Your teaching seeks to dispel (all) suffering by resolutely imposing the burden of hardships (in the form of austerities). This (teaching) is unassailable by others; it severs the very roots of suffering in this world. (22) [197]

समामृतस्वादविदां मुनीनामुद्यन्महादुःखभरोऽपि सौख्यम् । पयोरसज्ञस्य यथा वृषारेठाग्नितप्तं पिबतः पयोऽत्र ॥ २३ ॥

Even the burden of the severe pain rising (from austerities) is happiness for those sages who have realized the taste of the ambrosia of equanimity. (This is) like a cat who, drinking severely heated (i. e. boiling) milk, (ignores the pain because he) experiences the flavour. (23) [198]

Who can be a greater teacher than you? (For) you are the total embodiment of infinite consciousness, endowed with the excellence of infinite energy, (and) you have completely destroyed all the mud of karmas, leaving no residue. (24) [199]

Since the "word-universal" [śabda-brahma], (which encompasses all words, and through them all objects), is contained within a single corner of your infinite knowledge, you are the highest and only Brahman; there is no one here greater than you. (25) [200] VIII
