such reverence and adoration; those who although possess the form (rupa) - nakedness (nāgnya, yathājāta) - of the ascetic but are not endowed with these qualities do not deserve such reverence and adoration.
ण हवदि समणो त्ति मदो संजमतवसुत्तसंपजुत्तो वि। जदि सद्दहदि ण अत्थे आदपधाणे जिणक्खादे ॥3-64॥
न भवति श्रमण इति मतः संयमतपःसूत्रसंप्रयुक्तोऽपि । यदि श्रद्धत्ते नार्थानात्मप्रधानान् जिनाख्यातान् ॥3-64॥
सामान्यार्थ - [ संयमतपःसूत्रसंप्रयुक्तोपि ] संयम, तपस्या, सिद्धान्त इनकर सहित होने पर भी [यदि] जो मुनि [जिनाख्यातान्] सर्वज्ञवीतराग कथित [आत्मप्रधानान् ] सब ज्ञेयों में आत्मा है मुख्य ऐसे [ अर्थान् ] जीवादिक पदार्थों का [न श्रद्धत्ते] नहीं श्रद्धान करता तो वह मिथ्यादृष्टि [श्रमणः] उत्तम मुनि [न भवति ] नहीं हो सकता [इति मतः ] ऐसा यह श्रमणाभास-मुनि सिद्धान्तों में महापुरुषों ने कहा है।
It is proclaimed that the ascetic who although adept in restraint (samyama), austerities (tapa) and interpretation of the Scripture but does not have faith in the reality of substances, the soul (ātmā) being the primary one, as expounded by the Omniscient Lord Jina, is not a genuine ascetic.
Explanatory Note: That ascetic is a false-ascetic (śramaņābhāsa) who although is adept in interpretation of the Scripture, and observes restraint (samyama) and austerities (tapa), but does not have faith in the reality of the substances, soul and non-soul, as revealed by the Omniscient Lord Jina.
