505. A saint desirous of salvation should first of all inculcate his mind (subhavit kare) with Righteous concentration and thereafter (i.e. after being disinterested therefrom) he should engage himself in pondering of Reflections such as that of transitoriness (Anitya-bhavana) or unprotectiveness (Asharna-bhavana).
506. One should reflect upon twelve reflections, which are: 1. Reflection of Transitoriness; 2. Reflection of unprotectiveness refugelessness; 3. Reflection of mundaneness; 4. Reflection of loneliness; 5. Reflection of seperatiness; 6. Reflection of impurity; 7. Reflection of inflow of karmas; 8. Reflection of stoppage of karmas; 9. Reflection of shedding off of karmas; 10. Reflection of universe; 11. Reflection of nature of Right path; (Dharma); 12. Reflection of Rarity of enlightenment.
507. The birth is blended with death and youth with oldage (or decay). The Goddess of wealth (Laxmi) is playful (Chanchala/wanton/trekish). Thus, everything in the world is fragile/transitory (Kshana-bhangur/quickly perishable).
508. Having renounced great delusion/maha-moha) and being conscious of the perishable nature of the subjects of senses (indriya-visaya), make your mind free of sense subjects (Nirvisaya) so that you may attain supreme bless.
509. The ignorant being (Ajnani-jiva) deems cattle wealth and fellow being (janti varga/caste fellows) as his protectors or protection (refuge). (He deems) “they are mine and I am theirs in actuality” they are neither (his) protectors nor (his) protection (refuge). 510. I renounce possessions consciously (and intentionally). I also avoid (keep myself aloof from) the three blemishes (thorns) of deceit, wrong faith and desire for future sense protectors are (non else than) three preservations (disciplines) and five carefulness.
511. Fie to this world, where a young man proud of his beauty gets reborn after his expiry in his own abandoned dead body in the form of a bacteria.
512. In this world there is no place-covering or area as small as that of the tip or end of an hair-where upon soul has not time and again undergone the miseries consquent upon birth and death.
513. Oh! it is extremely difficult to reach the other end of the ocean of this world. This ocean contains many crocodiles and fish such as Disease, oldage and death; and its waters consist of ceaseless birth (and rebirth). the consequences, whereof are awfully painful.
514. The soul, possessed of (sampanna/rich) three jewels is the holiest/most consecrated place (i.e. top most pilgrim centre); because the divine boat of three jewels carries one across the ocean of world.
515. Here (i.e. in the universe), every individual enjoys the fruits of his karmas his self all alone. Under such circumstances, who is whose kindred (Kith and Kin) and who is whose alien.
516. My soul, that is united with perception and knowledge (i.e. the embodiment of perception and knowledge is immortal). The rest of all that is body thought actions of attachment etc. are mere conjunction (sainyogi/annexations). My relation with them is that of mere annextures or conjuncts. They are different from/others to me.
517. The (impure) soul is undergoing (is entrapped in or involved in) the chain of miseries due to this conjunction (association). Hence, I renounce the relationship withconjunction (association) in all sincerity.
518 The ignorant condoles those who have departed to (and reached) other worlds (Bhava); but alas! he does not take care of this own soul that is undergoing (great) miseries in the present ocean of world. 519. My body is other than (different from) my self; my relatives are also other than my self. Having known so the clever persons should not have (or continue to have) attachments with them.
520. The reflection of “Separateness by one who reflects upon soul deeming it (soul) to be basically distinct and separate from body is an effective (and fruitful) one.
521. What joy can there be in a body that is constructed/ made by assembling bones and flesh; which is full of excreta; and which out pours the filthy material (ashuchi-padartha) from (as many as) nine out lets.
522. A saint, absorbed in the thought actions of subsidence and Equanimity (upashama samya-bhava me lina) renounces all thought action which arise out of the fruition of delusion and which he considers fit/worthy to be renounced this constitutes his (saints) reflection of inflow (asrava-anupreksha) of karmas.
523. The closure of the inlets of karmic inflow of the soul by a saint – who observes all the five carefulnesses and controls his senses by means of three preservations (desciplines) results in the stoppage of the arrival of new filth of karmas, this constitutes his reflection of stoppage (samivara-anupreksha) of karmas.
524. A saint considering universe (mundane existence) as worthless (Nih-sar/slip slp/vain) and full of long wanderings endavours to reflect upon the supreme status, which is located on the top of the universe and which is a place, where in the emancipated souls dwell in (in states of) Eternal-Bless.
525. Dharma (Religion/conduct) is an island, an honour, a grade and best protection (uttam-sharana/best refuge) to souls (creatures), floating upon the fast current of oldage and Death.
526. (An impure soul-, that is roaming about in four grades of life, - is rarely fortunate to occupy (human-body); and he who occupies human body, more rarely gets the opportunity (or opportunities) to listen to (and thereby understand) the (true) religion i.e. a religion that includes austerities forgiveness and non-violence.
527. (Further), he who happens to listen to the true religion, may not (prone to) repose faith in it as it is still more difficult to do so; because many persons, inspite of listening to the just and equitable path of liberation deviate from it.
528. (Further more) it is very difficult for one,- who listens to and believes in (true) dharma to adopt (Right) conduct (Restraint), Many persons are inclined towards (such) conduct; but they are incapable of adopting it, rigtheously in appropriate manner.
529. From the point of view of Reflections, the pure soul is like a boat in (river) water. Just as a boat reaches the bank (of the river), with the help of favourable wind (or winds); similarly the pure soul, (with the help of Reflections) reaches the shore of the ocean of the world-where all his miseries come to an end.
530. Hence, one should repeatedly, and concentratedly) think over twelve Reflections; Renunciation; self analysis and Repentence for faults; confession of faults before the head of the; and union with self.
