संगतिः।
एवं सुशीलवान् अशीलवद्भिर्मिलितः सन् । प्राप्नोति गुणपरिहाणि मेलनदोषानुभावेन ॥ ३६ ।।
Just as sweet water of a river gradually acquires saltishness by virtue of contact with sea water(lit: evil effect of combination) so likewise a well-behaved person being associated with the wicked, surely loges his good qualities by the evil effects of company.
जीवो अणाइ-निहणो तब्भावण-भाविओ य संसारो। खिप्पं सो भाविज्जइ मेलण-दोसाणुभावणं !! ३७ ५
जीवोऽनादिनिधनस्तद्भावनाभावितश्च संसारः । क्षिप्रं स भाव्यते मेलनदोषानुभावेन ॥ ३७ ।।
A being is something which has neither begivning pur end and the world is pervaded by his thoughts. He is very soon influenced by the evil effects of company.
वरं हलाहले भुत्तं वरं अग्गि-पवेसणं । वरं सप्पेहिं सह वासो मा पमायाण संगमो ॥ ३८ ॥
वरं हलाहलं भुक्तं वरमग्निप्रवेशनम् । वरं सपैः सह वासो मा प्रमादानां संगमः ॥ ३८ ॥
