वंदणणमंसणेहिं अब्भुट्ठाणाणुगमणपडिवत्ती। समणेसु समावणओ ण णिंदिया रायचरियम्मि 8-47॥
वन्दननमस्करणाभ्यामभ्युत्थानानुगमनप्रतिपत्तिः । श्रमणेषु श्रमापनयो न निन्दिता रागचर्यायाम् ॥3-47॥
सामान्यार्थ - [रागचर्यायां] सराग-चारित्र अवस्था में जो शुभोपयोगी मुनि हैं उनको [ श्रमणेषु] शुद्धस्वरूप में थिर ऐसे महामुनियों में [श्रमापनयः] अनिष्ट वस्तु के संयोग से हुआ जो खेद उसका दूर करना और [वन्दननमस्करणाभ्यां] गुणानुवाद-रूप स्तुति और नमस्कार सहित [अभ्युत्थानानुगमनप्रतिपत्तिः ] आते हुए देख उठकर खड़ा हो जाना, पीछे-पीछे चलना, ऐसी प्रवृत्ति की सिद्धि [न निन्दिता] निषेध-रूप नहीं की गई है।
For the ascetic (muni, śramaņa) engaged in conduct-withattachment (sarāga cāritra) – auspicious-cognition (Subhopayoga) – the following activities are not forbidden: removal of afflictions caused to the worthy ascetics, their adoration and salutation, standing up in respect on their arrival, and following them as they walk.
Explanatory Note: It constitutes proper conduct if the ascetic engaged in auspicious-cognition (śubhopayoga) exhibits veneration for the preceptor-ascetics through adoration and salutation, standing up on seeing them, and following them while walking. If the preceptor-ascetics suffer from affliction, such as due to a calamity, he should try to assuage it through service (vaiyāvịtti). Meditation is not possible in presence of anxiety; such service is, therefore, recommended.
