(31)नो इंदियग्गेज्झ अमुत्तभावा,
अमुत्तभावा वि य होई निच्चो।।
अज्झत्थहेउं निययऽस्स बंधो,
संसारहेउं च वयंति बंधं।।

 Soul is formless, so it cannot be known by senses. Since it is formless so it is eternal. It is certain that all the internal demerits of the self are the cause of bondage and this world too causes it. 

 (32)एगो मे सासओ अप्पा, 
नाण - दंसण - संजुओ। 
सेसा मे बाहिरा भावा, 
सव्वे संजोगलक्खणा।।

 I am alone. My soul is enernal, cherished by knowledge and faith. All other phases of my existence to 4 which I am attached are external occurrences that are transitory. 

 (33)रागो य दोसो वि य कम्मबीयं, 
कम्मं च मोहप्पभवं वयंति। 
कम्मं च जाईमरणस्स मूलं, 
दुक्खं च जाईमरणं वयंति।।

    ca   jāīmaraa  vayati. 

 Attachment and aversion are the root cause of karma. Karma generates from delusion and becomes the cause of birth and death. Birth and death have been regarded as miser 

 (34)जम्मं मरणेण समं, 
संपज्जइ जव्वणं जरासहियं। 
लच्छी विणाससहिया, 
इय दव्वं भंगुरं मुणइ।। 

 jammaṁ maraea sama

Birth is attended by death, youth by decay and fortune by misfortune. Thus everything in this world is momentary. 

 (35)जस्सेवमप्पा उ हवेज्ज निच्छिओ, 
चएज्ज देहं न उधम्मसासणं। 
तं तारिसं नो पयलेंति इंदिया, 
उवेंतवाया व सुदंसणं गिरिं।।

caejja deha
 na u dhammasāsaa
ta
 tārisa no payaleti  indyiā
uve
tavāyā va sudasaa giri. 

 An asectic whose soul is determined “one should abandon the body but not the religious order". Such an ascetic cannot be diverted by the senses in the same way as a storm cannot shake the  Sudarshan mountain. 

  (36)जो पुव्वरत्तावररत्तकाले, 
संपिक्खई अप्पगमप्पएणं। 
किं मे कडं? किं च मे किच्चसेसं? 
किं सक्कणिज्जं न समायरामि?

 me kaa? ki ca me miccasesa?
ki
 sakkaijja na samāyarāmi? 

 The ascetic who does self-introspection at mid-night what I did? What has remain to be done? Which is the work I can do? but not performing at present?

 (37)जा जा वच्ची रयणी,  
 न   सा  पडिनियत्तई । 
 धम्मं च कुणमाणस्स, 
 सफला  जंति  राइओ ।।
 

 jā      jā       vaccai    rayaṇī

ā   painiyattaī

ā     jati    rāio.   

 The nights that have departed will never return. The man practising religion have made their rights successful. 

 (38)चत्तरि परमंगणि,  
दुल्लहाणीह जंतुणो । 
माणुसत्तं सुई सध्दा,  
 संजमम्मि य वीरियं ।।

In this world to the people inhabiting it in the following four essential merits are scare-human life, listening of scriptures, faith and to put efforts in self-restraint. 

  (39) जहा  कुसग्गे  उदगं,  
 समुद्देण   समं   मिणे । 
 एवं माणुस्सगा कामा,  
 देवकामाण    अंतिए ।। 

jahā  kusagge udaga
samudde
a sama mie
eva
 māussagā kāmā
devak
āmāa atie. 

 Lust and merriments of men in comparison to the lust and  merriments of gods are the same as one compares  a drop of dew on the blade of a grass to that of an ocean. 

 (40)सल्लं कामा विसं कामा,  
कामा आसीविसोवमा । 
कामे पत्थेमाणा,  
अकामा जंति दोग्गइं।। 

 sallaṁ kāmā visa kāmā
k
āmā āsīvisovamā
k
āme        patthemāā
a
kāmā  jati doggai. 

 Sensual pleasures are but thorns, poison and like venomous surpent. Even the desire of sensual pleasure makes one a degraded being though one does not indulge them.
