इत्यादिय तिलिङ्गस्यानुपलम्भात् । ततः प्रत्यक्षदोषवतः पार्श्वस्थादीन् बन्दमानस्य तत् सावद्यानुज्ञालक्षणो दोष एव । उक्तं च
जइचेलं बगलिंगं जाणंतस्स नमओ हवइ दोसो । निर्द्धधर्स य नाऊण वंदमाणे धुको दोसो ॥ १ ॥
इत्यादि । प्रतिमायास्तु दोषा चरणाभावात् तद्वन्दने सावधानुज्ञाऽभावतो न दोष इति ॥ २३६८ ॥
D. C.
Nihnavas :-The fault of assenting to the evil quality will not arise in case of bowing to an image of a Tirthankara with sincere apprehension of a Tirthankara in the image.
Sthaviras: -If it is so, what harm is there in case of one bowing to a ascetic with the sincere apprehension of a sādhu in him, that you do not even respect each other as ascetics?
Nihnavas :-If it is so, there would be no harm even in bowing to his own companion etc. with the sincere apprehension of an ascetic in him.
Sthaviras :-That is not proper, companions etc. to not actually bear even a proper appearance of an ascetic. Nor are the actual symbols such as alaya, vihāra etc. apprepended in him. Hence, one who bows to companions etc. that are clearly unworthy, commits the fault of assenting to the savadya' (censurable) resolution of an ascetic in them. It is said
Jaicelam bagalingam jāṇantassa namao havai doso Niddhamdhasam ya nāuṇa vandamāņe dhuvo dosc 19
7. Savadya (censurable) Niravadya (blameless)
