________________ Samayasāra Chapter - 8 and not the movements/activities of his body; (nicchayado vinneyam) this ultimate fact must be realized. , (Evam bahuvihāsu citthāsu vatņamto micchāditthi uvaoge rāyādī kuvvamto rayeņa lippadi) Similarly, engaged in various types of activities, an unenlightened [deluded] soul collects and gets smeared up with the dust of karmic matter, (ultimately] because of his consciousness being infected with (the tackiness of} attachment etc. (Jaha puna so ceva naro savvamhi ņehe avaṇide samte) Just as, the afore-mentioned person, after wiping off his body completly from oil, (reņu-bahulammi thāne satthehim vāyāmam karedi) is engaged in physical/martial exercises with appliances (fit for doing such exercises) in a place full of dust, (tahā ya tālī-tala-kayalivamsapimdio chimdadi ya bhimdadi) and slashes down and cuts up bundles of palm, banana, bamboo and the like, (saccittāccittānam davvāṇamuvaghādam karedi) and various kinds of animate and inanimate objects by violently playing with them. (Nāņāvihehi karanehim uvaghādam kuvvamtassa tassa) Thus using a variety of appliances, he does a number of violent actions; (du kim paccayago rayabandho ņa Ņicchayado cimtejja) think carefully [about such person-) what is the ultimate reason that his body did not get smeared up with dust. . (Jo so du nehabhāvo tamhi nare) It was the tackiness of oil applied on his body (teņa tassa rayabamdho) that was (ultimately] responsible for the bondage of dust (sesāhim kāyacetthāhim na) and not the movements/activites of his body; (nicchayado vinneyam) this ultimate fact must be properly understood. (Evam sammādiţthi bahuvihesu jogesu vattamto uvaoge rāgādī akaramto rayeņa na lippadi) In the same way, [inspite of] engaged in various types of [worldly) activites, an enlightened sage does not get smeared with the dust of karmic matter, because of his consciousness being not infected with (the tackiness of] attachment etc. Annotations : With these verses the author initiates the discussion on the ultimate cause of bondage of karma.
