________________ प्राकृत- सूक्तरत्नमाला । स्वजनो दुर्जनो विद्वेषी च लोभी तहा । ग्रहिलो विस्मितो भीरुः साक्षी नूनं न क्रियेत ॥ २२४ ॥ १०४ A kinsman, a vile person, a malicious person, a greedy person, an obstinate person, one filled with am azement and a coward-these should never be cited as · witnesses ( before a judge ). मा होह सुअग्गाही अपत्तियं जं न दिट्ठि - पञ्चक्खं । पञ्चक्खम्मिय दिट्ठे जुत्ताजुत्त' वियारिजा ॥ २२५ ॥ मा भवत श्रुतग्राहिणोऽप्रत्ययं यन्न दृष्टिप्रत्यक्षम् । प्रत्यक्षे च दृष्ट युक्तायुक्तं विचारयेत् ॥ २२५ ॥ Do not be credulous (lit: be not a person who instantly believes what he has heard) for what is not seen with one's own eyes, is not to be believed in ( lit: is not credible or trustworthy). When even seen with one's own eyes, one should consider well (before adopting any course ) the propriety of the thing. हयं नाणं किया-हीणं हया अन्नाणओ किया । पासंतो पंगुलो दड्ढो धावमाणो य अंधओ ॥ २२६ ॥ हतं ज्ञानं क्रियाहीनं हताऽज्ञानतः क्रियाः । पश्यन् पङ्गुदग्धो धावमानश्चान्धकः ॥ २२६ ॥ Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
