Chapter - 10
Samayasara
The author, thus, emphasizes the fact that psychic states of attachment and aversion can never be produced by the physical existence-karmic matter etc.. Hence, if a person who sincerely desires for spiritual advancement, considers the physical objects, karmic matter, karma, and his physical body, to be the cause of his own impure state and thinks of destroying them, he merely exhibits his ignorance of the metaphysical laws and achieves nothing.
Words of Praise or Censure should be ignored by the Wise णिंदिदसंधुदवयणाणि पोग्गला परिणमंति बहुगाणि ।

(Poggalā bahugāṇi nimdida-samthuda-vayaṇāṇi pariṇamamti) Words which can be combined to form sentences of [unpleasant] censure as well as [pleasant] praise, are merely sounds produced by peculiar modification of a group of matter [called bhāṣā vargaṇā]. (Tāņi suņidūņa) On hearing them, (puno aham bhanido) and thinking [presuming] that they are addressed to “me”, (rūsadi tūsadi) a person becomes angry or pleased.
(Poggaladavvam saddattaparinadam) [As stated above] words are nothing but sound produced by modification of a particular group of matter; (tassa guno jadi anno) if their attributes are radically different from you (i.e., your own real self), (tamhā abuddho tumam kimci vi na bhanido) then in reality, oh ignorant! they are not, in any way, addressed to you; (kim rusasi) why, [then] do you become angry? [You should ignore them, if you are wise]. Mental Agitation is not caused by Objects of Senses etc.
अहो सुहो व सद्दोण तं भणदिं सुणसु मं ति सो चेव । य एदि विणिग्गहिदुं सोदविसयमागदं सद्दं ॥ ६८ ॥
asuho suho va saddo na tam bhaṇadi suņasu mam ti so ceva.
