1. Discourses about way or path and
2. Discourses about the fruit of way.
The way is the way to salvation and the fruit of the way is salvation/emancipation/ liberation.
193. Shri Jinendra-deva nath said; (right) perception, - knowledge, and conduct is the way to salvation. The saints should follow it. If they are independent (self-dependent), they cause liberation: in the case they are dependent upon others they cause bondage (Bandha).
194. If the wise (men), out of ignorance, come to agree that the good thought actions like that of devotion etc. cause freedom from misery, then, the souls of such wise men absorbed in impure soul): as the thought actions of devotion etc. contain attachment (with others soul)
195. The Abhavya souls (Abhavya-jiva) are ignorant wrong believers, in spite of their observances (preservations/ Disciplines (Guptis), supplementary vows (sila) and austerities (Tapa) as propounded by Shri Jinendra-deva. Note:- The abhavya-jiva is impure soul incapable of attaining salvation.
196. All the religions-observances by those, who do not know the real and practical implications of three jewels (Right-faith, right knowledge and right conduct), are erroneous/false/wrong (mithyarupa). This is the commandment of Shri Jin-Deva.
197. The Abhavya souls do repose faith in Dharma (religious-conduct): do believe in it: and do follow it: yet this do so considering Dharma as the instrument (cause) of enjoyment and not considering it as the instrument (cause) of destruction of karmas. 198. (The Abhavya soul) does not realize) that the good thought action engaged in (inclined towards) other substance is virtue (punya) and bad-thought action (Asubha-parinam) engaged in other substance) is vice (sin/papa). Dharma is the thought action engaged in (include towards) one’s own substance i.e.self / sva-dravya) which at the appropriate time, becomes the instrument of (causes) destruction of miseries (Dukha/sufferings).
199. He, who desires virtues (virtious life) desires the mundane existence yield better (higher) grade of life (sugati) but not salvation: as salvation is the consequence of the destruction of virtues.
200. Know bad-karmas (Inauspicious-Karma) as bad conduct and good Karmas (Auspicious-Karmas) as good conduct. (But) how can that conduct, which prolongs (The duration of) ones mundane-existence be called good?
201. The fetters arrest the man, (no matter) whether they be of gold or of iron. In the same manner the good and bad Karmas (both) inflow of karmas enslave (bind/arrest) soul.
202. Hence having understood both kinds of Karmas as bad from real stand point. We should either get (our-selves not attached with/not associated with either of the two. The attachment with or the association of Karmas (with soul) destroy (its) independence.
203. (In spite of that) it is good to attain. Heaven etc. with the help of austerities etc, It is not proper to suffer the agonies of Hell, In their absence, (Certainly) it is preferable to stand beneath the shade (comfortably) in stead of standing in the scorching heat of the sun. (Hence, one should not totally disregard and condemn virtues. (Punya)).
204. (Undoubtedly) one can by means of good thought actions achieve even the great empire of a Cakravarti emperor that is adored by human beings celestial beings and vidyadharas with their hands folded. (Nevertheless) one cannot thereby achieve right knowledge (appropriate enlightenment) which is venerated by Bhavya-jivas (i.e. souls capable of attaining liberation.)
205. (By virtue of virtues) the celestial beings (gods), at the end of age, having (fully) enjoyed their celestial-existence, return and are reborn as human beings, Here, they are supplied with ten kinds of goods of enjoyment goods.
206-207 Because of pure and appropriate religious practice of their past life after having enjoyed all matchless human enjoyments-they attain and experience righteousness. They adopt (accept) saintly conduct based on restraint (saniyam-dharma) knowing fully well that the four things (limbs) (named human-grade, scriptural knowledge, faith and intations) are rarely available. Thereafter they attain the indestructible status of the pure and perfect souls by annihilating their karmas with the help of (hard) austerities.
