all respects. And, in that case, where is the scope for the existence of Tirth (the Jaina Church)? And, if there is no (church), where is the scope for insisting upon acèlakatva (or nakedness)? (2588-2589).
टीका-३९-४० व्याख्या-यदि तैर्जिनस्तीर्थकरेः सह लिङ्ग-चरिताभ्यां सर्वसाधम्यम् , तहिं यथा ते स्वयंबुद्धत्वाद् न परोपदेशवशगा:-न परोपदेशेन वर्तन्ते, न च च्छद्मस्थावस्थायां प्रतिबोधार्थ परस्याप्युपदेशं ददति, न च शिष्यवर्ग दीक्षन्ते, तथा शेरैरपि तच्छिष्य-प्रशिष्यः सर्वमेतत् त्वदभिप्रायेण कार्य करणीयं प्रामोति । भवत्वेवं नहिं, को दोष ? इति चेत् । इत्याह-एवं च सति कुतस्तीर्थम् , कस्यापि प्रतिबोधाभावाद् दीक्षाद्यभावाच्च ? । “न चेदिति" अथ न तैः सह सर्वसाधम्यमित्युच्यते, तर्हि "अचेलो भवाम्यहम्” इति कस्तव ग्रहः ? अचिन्त्यत्वात् तच्चरितस्येति ॥२५८८॥२५८९॥
D. C. If you claim equality with Tirthankaras in all respects by following them in dress, panners etc., you must be able to practise everything that Tirthankaras were doing. In other words, like Tīrthankaras, you should not accept instructions from others, should not give instructions to others as Tīrthaikaras do during their chadmastha life, and should not initiate pupils as Tirthankaras do, except when they have acquired Kovala Timina. And, if such a thing happens there would be nothing like lıksä etc, and ultimately the entire Jaina Church woull cease to exist in absence of imparting or receiving instructions etc..
On the other hand, if you accept that you are not in cquality with the Tirthankaras in all respects, you shall have to give up insisting upon accepting acelakatva in vain. 39-40 (2588-2589).
