________________ ब्रह्मचर्यम् । Chastity. मेरू गरिहो जह पव्वयाणं एरावणो सार-बलो गयाणं । सिंहो बलिट्ठोजह सावयाणं तहेव सीलं पवरं वयाणं ॥१५४॥ मेलारिष्ठो यथा पर्वतानामैरावणः सारवलो गजानाम् । सिंहो बलिष्ठो यथा श्वापदानां तथैव शीलं प्रवरं व्रतानाम् ॥१५४॥ Just as Meru is the highest of mountains, Airāvata the most powerful of elephants, the lion the strongest of wild animals, so too is chastity, the greatest of religious vows. धन्ना ते चिय पुरिसा जयम्मि जीयं च ताण सुकयत्थं । जे मुत्ति-रमणि-रत्ता विरत्त-चित्ता पर-स्थीसु ॥ १५५ ॥ धन्यास्त एव पुरुषा जगति जीवितं च तेषां सुकृतार्थम् । ये मुक्तिरमणीरक्ता विरक्तचित्ताः परस्त्रीषु ॥ १५५ ॥ Blessed indeed are those persons and their meritorious lives who are in love with the bride of liberation (ie, salvation ), and whose minds are turned away from others' wives.
