5-THE REAL REPENTANCE
शल्यरहित साधु को प्रतिक्रमण कहा है - The ascetic without stings (Salya) is repentance (pratikramana) -
मोत्तूण सल्लभावं णिस्सल्ले जो दु साहु परिणमदि । सो पडिकमणं उच्चइ पडिकमणमओ हवे जम्हा ॥८७॥
जो साधु शल्यभाव को छोड़कर, निःशल्यभाव में परिणमन करता है - उस रूप प्रवृत्ति करता है - वह (साधु) प्रतिक्रमण कहलाता है, क्योंकि वह प्रतिक्रमणमय होता है।
The ascetic (sādhu) who, rid of stings (šalya), has dispositions that are without-stings - nihsalya - is repentance (pratikramaņa); it is because such an ascetic is of the nature of repentance,
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The dispositions that cause bodily and mental agony are called 'salya'. Just as the sting causes pain to the body, the karma-generated harmful dispositions cause bodily and mental pain. The stings - Salya – are of three kinds, the sting of deceit – māyā, the sting of desire for enjoyment or pleasure – nidāna, and the sting of perverse attitude or wrong belief-mithyādarśana. He who is free from these three kinds of stings is called a votary without stings-nihsalya vrati.1
The ascetic (sādhu) who not only observes vows but is also free from stings - nihsalya - is the true yogi; he is said to observe repentance (pratikramana) continuously.
