SAMAYASĀRA जम्हा जहित्तु लिगे सागारणगारएहि वा गहिए । दसणणाणचरिते अप्पाणं जुंज मोक्खपहे ॥४११॥ jamha jahittu limge sāgāranagārashim va gahie damsananānacaritte appaņam jumja mokkhapahe (411) यस्मात् जहित्वा लिङ्गानि सागारैरनगारिकैर्वा गृहीतानि ।
दर्शनज्ञानचारित्रे आत्मानं युझ्व मोक्षपथे ॥४११॥
411. Therefore, giving up the insignia adopted by, householders and the homeless ones, direct the Self to faith, knowledge and conduct, the path of emancipation.
COMMENTARY Hence the saint has to discard all bodily marks as they dre useless and concentrate upon the three jewels or Right Belief, Right Knowledge, and Right Conduct which are spiritual in nature and which are therefore the true path.
मोक्खपहे अप्पाणं ठवेहि तं चेव झाहि तं चेद । तत्येव विहर णिचं मा विहरस अण्णदब्वेसु ॥४१२॥ mokkhapahe appaņam thavehi tam ceva jhāhi tan ceda tattheva vihara niccain ma viharasu annadavvesu (412) मोक्षपथे आत्मानं स्थापय तं चैव ध्यायस्व तं चैतयस्व ।
तत्रैव विहर नित्यं मा विहारिन्यद्रव्येषु ॥४१२॥
412. Keep the Self on the path of emancipation, meditate on him, experience him, always move in Him, do not move among other things.
COMMENTARY It has already been shown that the three jewels which constitute the mokşa' marga are really of the nature of the Self. Therefore the directions to establish, to experience, to meditate etc., refer to the Self. Thus it is emphasised that you are always to live, move and have your being in the Self and never to look beyond to the outer' world. This is the surest method for self-realisation.
Next it is pointed out that those who are devoid of real knowledge and who put their faith on bodily garbs alone, cannot realise the Absolute Self,
