Appendix IV: Śrīmad's Atma-siddhi Śāstra
Hoya mumukṣu jîva te, samaje eha vicāra; Hoya matarthi jiva te, avalo le nirdhāra.22
Hoya matarthi tehane, thāya na atamalakṣa; Teha matarthi lakṣaṇo, ahîm kahyām nirpakṣa. 23
This fact the seekers understand, The bigots draw the sense perverse; Impartial description, attend. Of bigots' badges, soul-aimless. 22-23
बाह्यत्याग पण ज्ञान नहि, ते माने गुरु सत्य । अथवा निजकुळधर्मना, ते गुरुमां ज ममत्व ॥ २४॥
Bāhyatyāga paṇa jñāna nahi, te māne guru satya; Athavā nijakuļ adharmanā, te gurumāmi ja mamatva.24
Some bigots follow false teachers, Who outwardly renounced the world; Or their hereditary preachers, But soul-aimless, believe their word.24
जे जिनदेहप्रमाण ने, समवसरणादि सिद्धि । वर्णन समजे जिननुं, रोकी रहे निज बुद्धि ॥२५॥
Je jinadehapramāṇa ne, samavasaraṇādi siddhi; Varnana samaje jinanumi, rokî rahe nija buddhi.25
Some confine their own talent, In pompous godly congregation; Jina's pictorial form and height, Or superhuman revelation.25
प्रत्यक्ष सद्गुरुयोगमां, वर्ते दृष्टि विमुख । असद्गुरुने दृढ करे, निज मानार्थे मुख्य ॥ २६॥
