It is clear that only attachment-aversion

89-90. (As the scripures that teach non-violence are the pure and pious scriptures and can be accepted as proofs) so, the great spiritual aspirants whose delusion has been overcome and whose attachment and aversion have been transcended are said to be the omniscient Jinas. (In the absence of such omnicient Jinas) who could have ssen the interrelationship between charity, penance, humility, etc and heaven and liberation or between violence and theft and hellish destinies? It goes without saying that the omniscience of such detached ones is self-evident and does not require any elaborate and connived proof. Also, their words are the ultimate proofs in such matters spiritual.
In these two verses, the author has put forth the view that omniscience can be gained by only those spiritual aspirants who overcome the flaws like delusion and attacment-aversion and that what they say is absolute truth, which requires no proof.
