________________ 16. Mountains perish in the dissolution of the world and oceans transgress the boundary but even on that occasion, the virtuous men never slacken the given word. 17. Though the virtuous men have been created fruitless by the providence like a sandal tree, yet (they) do good to people by their own body. 18. It is possible that the virtuous may become haughty by reason of (their) virtues, the affluent may become haughty by virtue of (their) affluence, only (the wicked) become haughty because of (their) own vices. Really the way of the wicked is strange. 19. The wicked do not give the thing existing with their own self, obstruct the givers, even snatch away the given thing. (They are the) effectors of hostility without any reason. Really the way of the wicked is strange. 20. By which (by the Vindhya mountain) even the nonAryans have been elevated, by whose grace their influence has been spread out, they set on fire the Vindhya mountain. Really the way of the wicked is strange. 41 Prákyta Prose and Verse Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
