ācārya Kundakunda's Samayasāra:
पासंडियलिंगाणि य गिहिलिंगाणि य बहुप्पयाराणि । घेत्तुं वदंति मूढा लिंगमिणं मक्खमग्गो ति ॥
दु होदि मक्खमग्गो लिंगं जं देहणिम्ममा अरिहा । लिंगं मुत्तु दंसणणाणचरित्ताणि सेवते ॥
ācārya Kundakunda's Rayanasāra:
धरियउ बाहिरलिंगं परिहरियउ बहिरक्खसौक्खं हि ।
करियउ किरिया कम्मं मरियउ जरियउ बहिरप्पजिउ ||
( १०- १०१ - ४०८ )
Ignorant persons adopt various kinds of alleged external insignia of monks and householders and claim that adoption of these insignia leads to liberation. But external insignia cannot lead to liberation as the Omniscient Lords, discarding all external symbols, and giving up attachment to body itself, only get immersed in right faith, knowledge, and conduct.

The extroverted-soul (bahirātmā), adopting external symbols, gets rid of sense-pleasures but dies performing religious rituals; this way he takes birth again and again.
