सामान्यार्थ – [ यः ] जो [ निहतमोहदृष्टिः ] दर्शनमोह का घात करने वाला अर्थात् सम्यग्दृष्टि है तथा [ आगमकुशलः ] जिन-प्रणीत सिद्धान्त में प्रवीण अर्थात् सम्यग्ज्ञानी है और [विरागचरिते ] राग-भाव रहित चारित्र में [ अभ्युत्थितः ] सावधान है तथा [ महात्मा ] श्रेष्ठ मोक्षमार्ग के साधने में प्रधान है [ स श्रमण: ] वह मुनीश्वर [ धर्म इति ] धर्म है, ऐसा [ विशेषितः ] विशेष लक्षणों से कहा गया है।
The ascetic (muni, śramana) who has destroyed the delusion-ofperception (darśanamoha), has grasped the Doctrine of Lord Jina, and is established in conduct that is rid of attachment (rāga), is 'dharma'. Such a profound ascetic is of the nature of supreme conduct (dharma).
Explanatory Note: The soul itself is ‘dharma'. These three: right faith (samyagdarśana) attained on the destruction of delusion-ofperception (darśanamoha), right knowledge (samyagjñāna) attained on assimilation of the Doctrine of Lord Jina, and right conduct (samyakcaritra) attained on ridding the soul of attachment (rāga), together, establish the soul in 'dharma'. My soul, of the nature of ‘dharma', now has no enemies (like attachment) and has attained forever its steady and pure state. Victory to the Doctrine of Lord Jina, which is adorned by the qualifying clause 'syat', meaning 'in a way'! Victory to the 'dharma', pure-cognition (suddhopayoga), which has endowed me the soul-nature that is established in conduct-without-attachment (vītaraga caritra)!
This completes the section on Reality of Knowledge (jñānatattva).
