Ascetic Poetry in Paumchariyam
निययमेव दुखस्य
मोहहेउगं आमूलं । घोरं कुणन्ति मूढा तह वि य सिद्धि न पावेन्ति ॥

Rama: the way of attaining perfect knowledge, according to Jinavara, is of two fold in realization and philosophy. But the geeva in the world is attached with the cheap type of joys which throw him into the well of anxiety and troubles, that is why he does not attain salvation and again on Rama's quest for understanding the way of Mukti, the Muni further adds that only a man of fervent will and eagerness for bestowing kindness to others and practising Ahimsa Brata may be able to achieve the Mukti which is the ultimate goal of life. For this purpose one has surely and certainly to abandon the violence, untruth, theft, sex and thereafter taking shelter under a pious ginavara in order to get Deeksha and thus getting Moksha simultaneously. In this way the entire Paumchariyam Purana is full of ascetic poetry giving relief to the mankind on the earth.
