32-33 Ascetics are distinguished by the people by the possession of various materials as external signs. Varieties of dressing-apparel have been chosen with due consideration to the observance of concentration of mind and acquisition of Knowledge. The other object of having a distinguishing apparel as an out-ward sign for an ascetic, is for the purpose of reminding him that he is an ascetic, in case of slig aberration of mind. The Tirthamkaras have preached that FTC Samyag Jnāna, Right Knowledge, AFUT Ja Samyag Darsana Right Perception and FT afry Samyag Chāritra, Right Conduct, are the means for the attainment of a Moksha, Final Liberation. But O Kési Kumāra! the out-ward signs are not the means of Salvation.
साहु गोअम! पण्णा ते, छिण्णो मे संसओ इमो । अन्नो वि संसओ मज्झं, तं मे कहसु गोअमा! ॥ ३४ ॥
34. Sāhu Goamai paņņā té, chhiņņo mé samsao imo; Anno vi samsao majjham, tam mé Kahasu Goamā !
34. O Gautama ! You are very intelligent.' This doubt of mine has been removed (by you). I have also another doubt. O Gautama ! ( please ) tell me that.
अणेगाण सहस्साणं, मज्झे चिठ्ठसि गोअमा! । ते अ ते अभिगच्छंति, कहं ते निजिआ तुमे ? ॥ ३५ ॥
35. Aņégāņa sa hassāṇam, majjhé chitthasi Goamā !; Tó a té abhigacchhanti, kaham té nijjiā tumé ?
35. O Gautama! You are standing in the midst of many thousands of enemies and they are advancing towards you. How were they conquered by you?
एगे जिए जिआ पंच, पंच जिए जिआ दस । दसहा उ जिणित्ता णं, सव्व सत्तु जिणामहं ॥ ३१ ॥
