PATII OF LIBERATION
189
(510) I know that they are all (the forms of) attachments; I shall remove those defects known as salya from my mind, speech and body; the guptis and the samitis are my protectors and shelters.
(511) Fie upon the transmigratory cycle where a youth, highly proud of his own handsomeness, is bom after death as a tiny insect in his own dead body.
(512) There is no place in this world, even as tiny as tip of hair, where a soul has not suffered the pangs of births and deaths several times.
(513) Oh, this ocean of mundane existence is difficult to cross over, there are many crocodiles in the form of disease, oldage and death; there is great mass of water in the form of constant births and deaths, the result of all these are terrible misery.
(514) A soul endowed with the Three Jewels constitutes an excellent ford. One can cross the ocean of transmigratory cycle with the aid of the divine boat of Three Jewels.
(515) In this world where every one has to suffer the fruits of his own Karmas individually, is there any person whom one can call his own either related or stranger?
