Yuvacharya Mahashraman
(51)वंर मे अप्पा दंतो,
संजमेण तवेण य ।
माहं परेहि दम्मंतो,
बंधणेहि़ वहेहि य।।
varaṁ me appā daṁto
saṁjameṇa taveṇa ya
māhaṁ parehi dammaṁto
baṁdhaṇehi vahehi ya.
It is better that I should try to control my senses and my mind by strict self-restraint and penance. It is not fair that the others should control me by binding and putting me to death.

दुहाण य सुहाण य ।
अप्पा मित्तममित्तं च,
दुप्पट्ठिय सुपट्ठिओ ।।

duhāṇa ya suhāṇa ya
appā mittamamittaṁ ca
duppaṭṭhiya supaṭṭhio.

(53) अप्पा अप्पम्मि रओ,
रायादिसु सयलदोसपरिचतो ।

rāyādisu sayaladosaparicatto
saṁsārataraṇaheduṁ dhammo tti
jiṇehi ṇiddiṭṭhaṁ
Righteousness consists in complete self-absorption and in giving ups all kinds of passions including attachment. It is the only means of transcending the mundane existence. The jinas have said so.

सव्वं वावि धणं भवे ।.
सव्वं पि ते अपज्जत्तं,
नेव ताणाय तं तव ।।

savvaṁ vāvi dhaṇṁ bhave
savvaṁ pi te apajjattaṁ
neva tāṇāya taṁ tava.
If one gets the whole world or he possesses the whole riches even then it cannot quench one’s desires, nor can it liberate one.

चरिया हवेज्जा जा जदिणो ।
तं जाण बंभचेरं,
विमुक्कपरदेहवित्तिस्स।।
jīvo baṁbhā jīvammi ceva
cariyā havejjā jā jadiṇo
taṁ jāṇa baṁbhaceraṁ
vimukkaparadeshavittissa.
The soul is the Brahman. Celibacy is therefore nothing but spiritual conduct of the ascetic concerning the soul, who has snapped out of relationship with alien body.

रत्तिं च दिवा य डहइ कामग्गी ।

कामग्गिणो नत्थि।।

rattiṁ ca divā ya ḍahai kāmaggī

jaṁ na hiṁsai kaṁcaṇa
ahiṁsā samayaṁ ceva
eyāvaṁtaṁ viyāṇiyā.
The essence of all knowledge consists in not committing violence. The doctrine of ahimsa is nothing but the observance of equality, i.e. the realization that just as I do not like misery, others also don’t like it. Knowing this, one should not kill anybody.

तहेव पि जाण जीवाणं ।

जीवेसु होदि सदा।।

taheva pi jāṇa jīvāṇaṁ
eyaṁ ṇaccā appoamio
jīvesu hodi sadā.
Just as you do not like misery, in the same way others don’t like it. Knowing this, you should do unto others what you want others to do unto you.
