रत्नत्रय के भेद और लक्षण
Divisions and marks of 'ratnatraya' -
णियमं मोक्खउवायो तस्स फलं हवदि परमणिव्वाणं । एदेसिं तिण्हं पि य पत्तेयपरूवणा होई ॥४॥
(रत्नत्रयरूप) नियम, अर्थात् सम्यग्दर्शन, सम्यग्ज्ञान और सम्यक् चारित्र मोक्ष का उपाय है और उसका फल परमनिर्वाण है। इस ग्रन्थ इन तीनों का पृथक्-पृथक् निरूपण है।
The ‘niyama' – right faith (samyagdarśana), right knowledge (samyagjñāna), and right conduct (samyakcāritra) - is the way to attain liberation and the fruit is the supreme liberation (paramanirvāņa). These three- the Three Jewels (ratnatraya) - have been described individually in this treatise.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The real (niścaya) path to liberation is the 'pure' (śuddha ) and ‘inseparable’ (abheda) Three Jewels ( ratnatraya). The Three Jewels (ratnatraya) right faith (samyagdarśana), right knowledge (samyagjñāna), and right conduct (samyakcāritra) - are not distinguished from the soul. However, in order to explain these three to the worthy souls treading the path to liberation, from the empirical (vyavahāra) point-of-view, these are separated and described individually with their marks (laksana).
