THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
जह सिप्पिो दु चिटं कुव्वदि हवदिय तहा प्रणरणोसो। तह जीवोवि य कम्मं कुब्बदिहयदि य अणगणो सो॥३८३॥ यथा शिल्पिकस्तु चेष्टां करोति भवति च तथानन्यस्तस्याः । तथा जीवोऽपि च कर्म करोति भवति चानन्यस्तस्मात् ॥ ३८३ ॥
383. As an artisan makes a resolution and becomes one with it, so also the soul performs Karma and becomes one with it.
जह चिठं कुव्वतो दु सिपिओ णिच दुक्खिदो होदि। तत्तोसेय अणण्णो तह चेतो दुही जीवो ॥ ३८४॥ यथा चेष्टां कुर्वाणस्तु शिल्पिको नित्यदुःखितो भवति । तस्माच स्यादनन्यस्तथा चेष्टमानो दुःखी जीवः ॥ ३८४ ।।
384. And as the artisan making the resolution is constantly bothered by it, and becomes one with that botheration, so the soul involved in impure thought-activity is miserable.
Commentary. This is from the impure real standpoint. जह सेटिया दुण परस्स सेटिया सेंटिया य सा होदि । तह जाणगो दुण परस्स जाणगो जाणगो सोदु ॥ ३८५ ॥ यथा सेटिका तु न परस्य सेटिका सेटिका च सा भवति । तथा ज्ञायकस्तु न परस्य ज्ञायको ज्ञायकः स तु ॥ ३८५ ॥
385. As chalk is not the other (i.e., the wall) and as chalk remains chalk itself, so also the knower does not (become) the other (i. e., the thing known); but the knower remains the knower. - जह सेटिया दुण परस्स सेटिया सेटिया य सा होदि।
तह पस्सगो दु ण परस्स पस्सगो पस्सगो सोदु ॥३८६ ॥
