________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.orgAcharya Shri Kailashsagarsuri Gyanmandir (236) Thill, XII. 177. 48: Yad yat tyajuti kāmānam tat sukhasyâblipūryate Kāmasya vasago nityatu duḥkhamera prapadyate. Notes.--This verse teaches, by the simile of a shoemaker fitting his leather by getting rid of its useless parts, that to be happy, truly happy, one must cast off one's desires. Parikica = Pāli parikantan, cutting' or 'fitting.' Phonetically the Prakrit form= Pāli parikicca, Sk. parikstya. To equate fitly with parikantan, the form ought to have been parikuta or katu. Paricai= Pāli pariccnje, Sk. parityajet, should give up'. The elision of j in the Prakrit form presuposes an intermediate change to y. Note that we had paricni also for Pali pariccīgā in v. 3 supra. 18 .. ...[nena yo atmano]... .. [(ve) rasașaga].?? so duha na parimucati o (CrO, 42) Cf. Dhammap., v. 291 (Pakinnakav., v. 2): Paradukkhúpadhānepa yo attano sukham ichati Verasam saggasamsattho verã so na pamuccati, Cf. Udanav., ch. xxx. (" Happiness "), v. 2 : "He who causes misery to others in seeking for his own welfare brings without distinction misery on friends and foes." Notes.-The Prakrit verse might be restored, in the light of its Pali counterpart, as follows : (para duhnvallın)nena yo atmino (sulamiclinti) Verasaşaga' sansatho). so dnlia na parimncati o Frug. C.
