NIYAMSARA.
Commentary. When a soul, following the rules of conduct laid down for the saints, as given in previous Gáthás, realises the self and advances on, till it reaches the 13th spiritual stage of vibratory omniscient (Sayoga Kevali), it is then that the soul is called Arhat or the Worshipful Lord. In this stage the soul is still in the physical body and reveals the Truth.
कम्मबंधा अट्टमहागुणसमरिणया परमा। लोयग्गठिदा णिच्चा सिद्धा जे एरिसा होति ॥७२॥
नष्टाष्टकर्मबन्धा अष्टमहागुणसमन्विताः परमाः । लोकाग्रस्थिता नित्याः सिद्धास्ते ईदृशा भवन्ति ॥ ७२ ।।
72. Those (souls), who have destroyed the bondage of the eight Karmas, are possessed of the eight great attributes, abide at the topmost of the universe and are the most exalted and indestructible, are Perfect Souls (Siddhas). पंचाचारसमग्गा पंचिंदियदंतिदप्पणिदलणा। धीरा गुणगंभीरा आयरिया एरिसा होति ॥७३॥ पंचाचारसमग्राः पंचेन्द्रियदंतिदर्पनिर्दलनाः। धीरा गुणगंभीरा प्राचार्या ईदृशा भवन्ति ॥ ७३ ॥
73. Those (saints), who are possessed of five kinds of conduct, who have trampled down the fury of the elephant of five senses, who are firm in their determination, and who are profound in virtue are (called) Heads of the order of Saints, (Áchárya).
रयणत्तयसंजुत्ता जिणकहियपयत्थदेसया सूरा। णिकंखभावसहिया उवज्झाया एरिसा होति ॥७४॥ रत्नत्रयसंयुक्ताः जिनकथितपदार्थदेशका सूराः। निःकांक्ष भावसहिताः उपाध्याया ईदृशा भवन्ति ॥ ७४॥
74. Those (saints), who are brave, possessed of the three jewels, are preachers of the categories enunciated by the Conqueror (Jina), and are endowed with the thought.
