________________ લિત-વિતરા રજભકાર ગણિત (A-34 come to know from the volume "Lalitvistra" that there is a power greater than 'karma'. This power the super power of the Jain Sway, the super power of the state of the Tirthankara or the super power of the universe. The Jineswaras and the Tirthankara are the two names but the same personalities. The only thing to know is how their rule is going on. This rule is more systematic and more beneficial than any other rule in this universe. This rule rids the embodied souls under the super power of 'Karma' of the bondage of 'Karmas', and it also frees them from afflication. How is such power super power gained by the Jain Rule ? It is the rule of the souls detached from the worldly affairs. This rule would have been known as the Vitaraga Rule or the Sarvajna Rule (the rule of the omniscient) or the Rule of the souls liberated from Karmas. But why is it known as the Rule of the Tirthankaras ? This rule is recognized as the Jina Rule or the Rule of the Tirthankaras in scriptures. There must be some specific intention behind this. In order to find it out the volume "Lalitvistra' will be great help to us. With the help of this volume, it will be clear that intention is nothing but the peculiar potentiality of the souls of Sri Tirthankaras from the time immemorial. The similar sentiment of both individual and universal benevolence of the whole world lying in their souls lasts for several births to come. Such most intense sentiment cannot befound in any one else, because it is strongly belived and proved that none but the Tirthankaras are endowed with the peculiar potentiality. Their sentiment is so generous that only righteousness and merits are created. There is nor a single particle of selfishness in that sentiment: it is full of doing good to all. The affection of theirs towards all souls cannot be compared with that of a mother. A mother thinks of the complete welfare of her child. However, it is only mundane, or at the most ethical and in rare case only it is spiritual. The Tirthankaras love the spiritual welfare of all souls much more than a mother, and that sentiment of spiritual welfare is so useful that the ethical and spiritual welfare is acquired concomitantly until it is accomplished. So the Tirthankaras not only give the happiness of salvation to the embodied souls of this world but also provide them with all sorts of necessary 'equipments' for sponding the happy life without any obstacles and hindrances. There is no exaggeration in stating the above notion. Because of rihteouness and merits the souls acquire all sorts of comforts. The rule of 'Karma' is, verily, right. However, the Tirthankara gods make those 'Karma' auspicious or inspire souls to perform pious acts. Their power and lustre are unimagined. They have the sentiment of doing good to all souls and from that sentiment there StadleS - CSSREIR MY ખાસ ગુજરાતી અનુવાદ
