PAÑCALINGIPRAKARANAM : 103
li bhāvaņāsameo sammadiţthi jinehim akkhão / Tavvihacīsthā avasiyamapaparināmo mahāsatto || 52 ||
Itibhāvaņāsametaḥ
samyagdrștiḥ jinaiḥ ākhyātaḥ | Tadvidhaceştā avasitamanaḥ
pariņāmaḥ mahāsatvaḥ || 52 || The soul with such thoughts is rightly inclined,
sayeth the Jina-Lord |
Such actions indicate the detached mind
of that great soul|| 52 ||
52. Summing up the deliberation on the third sign – Nirveda, the Lord Jina has said that the soul with such thoughts (that thinks that the world is transient, unsheltering and filled with sorrow) is endowed with the right vision. Such thoughts are externally expressed in the form of detachment from the mundane and non-violent attitude and indicate righteousness. Such thoughts are termed as 'Nirveda or Detachment, and the soul with such disposition is, decidedly, a great soul that does not get perturbed by external troubles, hardships and afflictions.
(THE THIRD SIGN CONCLUDED)
