Niyamsar….12

 Gatha 126: The one  who has equanimity bhava towards all sthavar or trasa jivas , he practices steady samayik, thus it has been told in the doctrine of Kevali.

Commentary: Here the form of supreme Mumukshu stationary in supreme equanimity bhava etc. has been described.

Those Muniraj who are crown of the peak of natural detachment form palace; those Muniraj, due to absence of all moha-raga-dwesha which are cause of corruption, free of thoughts of differentiation, accompanied with supreme bhava of equanimity have the spirit of equanimity towards all the trasa-sthavar jiva body forms. Those supreme Jina  Yogishwara have Samayik Vrita permanently, such veetrag is Siddha himself in the path of omniscient.

Completing the commentary of 126th Gatha Muniraj authors eight shlokas-

Shloka 204. The heart ( consciousness manifestation) of supreme Jina Muni which is absolutely devoid of harm towards trasa jivas and killing of sthavar jivas continuously, which is pure and has attained last stage; to it I offer salutations for getting free from karmas, I worship it and rightly aspire for it.

Shloka 205. Some people are steady in the Adwait path and some other people are stationary in Dwait path. However we tread on the path which is free (where there is no vikalpa) of Dwait or Adwait.

Shloka 206. Some Jivas desire Adwait and some others desire Dwait; I bow to the soul free of Dwait or Adwait.

Shloka 207. Myself- soul desirous of happiness – again and again aspire for own indestructible soul free of birth/death by the soul, remaining within the soul.

Shloka 208. Be done with all the vikalpa-statements causing rebirth, be done. The indivisible blissful form (soul) is non subject of all the mass of nayas. Hence this (indescribable) soul is neither Dwait form nor Adwait form ( it is beyond vikalpas of Dwait or Adwait). I always venerate  that one for destroying the fear of rebirths immediately.

Shloka 209. In the world the happiness-unhappiness in four Gati and 84 lakh yonis are experienced due to punya and pap karmas. If considered from aspect of Nishchaya naya, then Shubha or Ashubha manifestations are non existent within the soul; since within the lok, this single form soul ( always remaining in the same form ) does not have acquaintance with the rebirths. Therefore I always offer obeisance to own shuddha soul free of Shubha-ashubha, raga-dwesha etc.  form qualities of rebirth i.e.  vibhava  bhavas.

Shloka 210. With the revelation of natural mass of brightness, eliminator of very intense moha form mass of darkness and conqueror of flag of punya pap form army of blemishes, such always shuddha, miraculous consciousness form soul substance is ever victorious.

Shloka 211. This flawless soul substance is victorious- which has brought an end to the world, which is stationary within the lotus hearts of Ganadhars of great Muni conclave, which has eliminated the cause for rebirths, which has appeared shuddha in singular manner and which is accessible to the Samyak Drishtis in spite of being immersed within own grandeur.

Gatha 127: The one whose soul only is close by in sanyam, niyam, tapa, for him the Samayik is steady. Thus has been told in the doctrine of Kevali.

Commentary: In this gatha also it has been told that soul only is venerable.

In the external sanyam of the form of renunciation of pap activities of the future jina who has conquered all the activities of the senses and is free of external delusions; in the internal sanyam free of all activities of senses by gupti of mind-speech-body; in the niyam adopted for limited periods; in the steady conduct within conscious Param Bramha nature of the form of stationary state within own nature; in the five conducts as described in Vyavahara charitra; cause for fifth gati, devoid of all possessions, in the supreme tapa conduct which is means for renouncement of all pap form conducts; attained by means of goodwill of param guru such own karan paramatma is always near by; such param veetrag samyak Drishti, who is disinterested in other dravyas and is master of  veetrag  charitra,  is steady in Samayik Vrita, thus has been told in doctrine of Kevali.

Shloka 212. If the Samyak Drishti jiva with shuddha Drishti believe that in the tapa of param munis, in the niyam, sanyam and right conduct only the soul always remains paramount; then it establishes that for the one who has eliminated all the fear of the world on account of destruction of raga, for such future Tirthankara bhagwan the natural equanimity is directly attained for sure.

Gatha 128: For whom the raga and dwesha ( by not getting generated) do not cause perversions , for him the samayik is steady, this is stated in the doctrine of Kevali.

Commentary : Here it has been told that with the absence of raga and dwesha, one attains perturbation free state.

For the Param Veetrag Sanyami,  who is like fire for burning the pap form forest, for whom the raga-dwesha do not cause corruption, for such jiva desirous of great bliss- for whom only body is possession without utilisation of five senses, for him the Samayik vrita is permanent- thus it is declared in the doctrine of kevali.

Shloka 213. For the one who has destroyed mass of pap form intense darkness by means of flame of knowledge, where the flood of natural supreme bliss form nectar  is close by, for him the raga dwesha are incapable of causing corruption. In that permanent equanimity form soul substance what is there which is suitable to do and not to do? In other words he does not have raga-dwesha form manifestations.

Gatha 129: Those who always renounce Aart and Roudra Dhyans, for them the Samayik is steady , thus has been told in the doctrine of Kevali.

Commentary: This is statement of the form of Samayik Vrita by means of renunciation of Aart and Roudra dhyans.

The jiva , who is stationary with discipline within the form of  permanent, pure own karan samaysar and is  engaged in tasting the shuddha nishchaya param veetrag bliss form nectar, who continuously renounces the Aart and Roudra dhyans which are means for taking birth  in  Tiryanch gati, Narak gati or residing as demons, he really practices the permanent Samayik Vrita as per the Keval Darshan.

Shloka 214. In this way, the Muni who renounces Aart and Roudra named two dhyans, he practices Anu Vrita form Samayik Vrita as per the doctrine of Jina.

Gatha 130: The one who shuns the punya and pap form bhavas continuously, he practices steady  Samayik. Thus it  is told in doctrine of Kevali.

Commentary: This is description of the procedure for renouncement of Shubha and ashubha karmas which are generated by manifestations in Shubha or ashubha form.

Washing of the lotus feet of the param jina yogishwaras who are identified by the renunciation of internal and external possessions, pressing the lotus feet etc. form VaiyyaVritti – these are specific Shubha form manifestations resulting in punya karmas. These and the ashubha karmas which are generated on account of manifestations in the form of violence, untruth, stealing, non  celibacy and possessions- both these types of karmas are birth place for the world form wife’s pleasures. The param naturally detached Muni ,  crown of the peak of natural detachment form palace, who renounces them both  , he practices permanent Samayik vrita as per the doctrine of Kevalis. 

Completing the commentary on 130th gatha muniraj authors three shlokas-

Shloka 215. The Samyak Drishti Jiva renouncing all the punya pap which are roots of the world, attains permanently blissful, natural, shuddha conscious form Jivastikaya. He always traverses in shuddha Jivastikaya and is highly worshipped by all the jivas of the three loks.

Shloka 216. This self realised Gyan is like fire for burning the forest of the form of pap and punya. It is extremely intense and  bright to destroy the darkness of great moha.  It is root for salvation and provider of real bliss. I worship such gyan daily which is capable of destroying the rebirths.

Shloka 217. This jiva under the influence of Shubha-ashubha karmas, being husband of world form wife, lives restlessly desirous of sexual pleasures. At some time this Jiva with the power of Bhavyatva shakti attains the bliss of salvation; subsequently he is never deprived of the pleasures attained in Siddha state. ( He is never interested in  enjoying any other pleasures.)

Gatha 131-132: The one who renounces laughter, rati (like), sorrow, arati (dislike) always, he practices Samayik steadily; thus it is told in doctrine of Kevali.

The one who always renounces aversion, fear and all Veda ( genders), for him the Samayik is steady. Thus it is told in doctrine of Kevali.

Commentary: This is description of the form of Samayik Charitra attained by means of conquering nine no-kashayas.

Three vedas- female, male and neuter genders, laughter, like, dislike, sorrow, fear, aversion are nine no-kashayas which are generated by Mohaniya karma. The supreme ascetic, practitioner of nishchaya jewel trio  who renounces all the corruption caused by them of  the mud form impurity by the power of supreme samadhi,  for him the supreme samayik form vrita is permanent form as declared in the doctrine of kevali .

Shloka 218. Easily accessible to all the jivas blinded by great moha, extremely inaccessible to all the jivas immersed in Samadhi who are continuously immersed in pleasure, producer of chain of happiness-unhappiness by means of world form wife- all such nine no-kashaya form corruption I renounce with great pleasure.

Gatha 133: The one who always contemplates of Dharma Dhyan and Shukla Dhyan, for him the Samayik is steady, thus it is told in doctrine of Kevali.

Commentary: This denotes conclusion of Param-Samadhi Adhikar.

The Param Jina Yogishwara who is desirous of completely pure Keval Gyan and Keval Darshan; by means of nishchaya dharma dhyan and nishchaya Shukla dhyan devoid of all the webs of vikalpas; taking recourse to own soul; continuously contemplates of indivisible, adwait, having characteristics of grand consciousness, immersed in the infinitely blissful ocean form  bhagwan atma; having disinterest in all external rituals; always permanently  internally engaged in benedictory soul continuously;  for him as declared by the doctrine of Jineshwara, always pure, immersed within three guptis, having characteristics of such supreme samadhi , such permanent Samayik Vrita is existent.

Shloka 219. Distant from the path of mind and speech, indivisible, magnificent soul substance devoid of mass of miseries is attained by those Muniraj who are manifested in shuddha jewel trio of the form  of  dharma dhyan and Shukla dhyan, taking recourse to supremely blissful soul substance devoid of punya-pap and is flawless.

10. Param Bhakti Adhikar

Now Bhakti(devotion) Adhikar is narrated-

Gatha 134: The Shravak or Shraman who is devoted towards Samayk darshan, Samyak Gyan and Samyak Charitra, he is devoted towards Nirvana-  thus has been told by Jinas.

Commentary: This is description of form of jewel trio.

Opposite to the intense Mithyatva karma’s nature which are cause for transmigration in the four Gati form world, the prayer of the pure jewel trio form manifestations which are of the nature of right belief, knowledge and conduct of own Paramatma Tattva only is Bhakti (devotion). In other words it means Aradhana (worship). Out of eleven Pratima (vows) of shravak, six belong to Jaghanya (least) Shravak, three middle Pratima belong to Madhyam (intermediate) Shravak and the last two belong to Uttam (best ) Shravak.  All these Shravaks are devoted towards shuddha jewel trio. Great ascetics, who are fearful of the worldly rebirths, having the manifestations of the form of supreme inactivity, also  are devoted towards shuddha jewel trio. As described by Jina Devas for preventing transmigration in the world, the supreme Shravaks and supreme Munirajs perform this Nirvana Bhakti form Salvation wife’s service.

Shloka 220. The Shravak or Sanyami who performs unmatched devotion continuously of this Samyaktva, shuddha gyan and charitra which eliminates the fear of rebirths; such Shravak and Sanyami jiva with a heart free of desires, anger etc. form all the masses of devilish Paps is continuously devotee only – is a devotee.

Gatha 135: The Jiva who knowing the different qualities of the people who have attained Moksha, performs their supreme Bhakti; that jiva is said to have Nirvana Bhakti from aspect of Vyavahara naya.

Commentary: This is description of the form of Siddha Bhakti primarily from aspect of Vyavahara naya.

Those eternal great people who had attained siddha hood by means of samyak prayer of karan paramatma with undifferentiated jewel trio manifestation which is the means for destruction of all the karmas; knowing their keval gyan etc, pure qualities, the near bhavya jiva who performs their supreme devotion which is traditional means for Nirvana , such Mumukshu practices Nirvana Bhakti from aspect of Vyavahara naya.

Completing the commentary on 135th Gatha commentator Muniraj authors six shlokas-

Shloka 221. Those who have shed all the mass of karmas i.e. destroyed them, who are husband of salvation form wife, who have attained eight qualities form majesty and who are abode of benefaction; such Suddhas I always worship.

Shloka 222. In this way the devotion of Siddha Bhagwants is called as Nirvana Bhakti by Jinavars from aspect of Vyavahara naya. From aspect of Nishchaya naya the Nirvana Bhakti is bhakti of jewel trio.

Shloka 223. Acharyas have described Siddha hood as free of all blemishes, abode of keval gyan etc. pure qualities and result of shuddhopayoga.

Shloka 224. Those who reside at the peak of the Lok, who have crossed the ocean of miseries of rebirths, who are mine of pleasure generated with embracing the firm breasts of salvation bride, who have great qualities of wealth of Moksha  generated by the spirit of shuddha atma, such siddhas who are like fire to destroy the pap form forest I daily offer salutations.

Shloka 225. Those who reside at the peak of the three loks, who are majestic with qualities, who have crossed the great ocean of gyeyas (subjects of knowledge), who are like sun for the lotus face of the salvation Lakshmi form wife, who are ocean of independent pleasure, who have attained eight qualities, who   have destroyed rebirths, such indestructible Siddha Bhagwants, who are like fire for burning the pap form forest,  I always take recourse to.

Shloka 226. Those who are eligible for indirect worship by men and groups of Devas, who are always benedictory, who are great and who are famous, such Siddha Bhagwant are like bee for lotus face of great attainment form beautiful salvation bride ( i.e. they continuously experience incomparable bliss of salvation)

Gatha 136: Establishing his own soul in the path of Moksha in samyak way the Jiva performs bhakti of the Nirvana. With this the jiva attains own soul having natural qualities which are independent.

Commentary: This is description of the form of Bhakti of own Paramatma.

Jiva engaged in experiencing the blissful nectar of pure own Paramatma, establishes his own soul in the Samyak way in the flawless Moksha Marga independent of consideration of differentiations and informal jewel trio form. Thus he carries out param bhakti in the lotus feet of salvation bride. Due to this that Bhavya jiva by means of quality of Bhakti attains own soul which is having independent qualities on account of unobscured natural knowledge quality.

Shloka 227. Desirous of salvation, establishing the soul within  this unperturbed highly pure jewel trio soul of the form of incomparable natural gyan-darshan-charitra properly, that soul with devotion towards consciousness acquires extraordinary abode where all the calamities have been removed and which is decorated with bliss. In other words he becomes groom of the salvation bride.

Gatha 137: The Sadhu who engages his soul in the renunciation of raga etc. i.e. applying the soul within the soul he abandons ragas etc.; he has Bhakti of Yoga. Nobody else can have Yoga Bhakti by any other means. The implication is that other  than the Veetragi Sadhu, no other person with raga can have Yoga Bhakti.

Commentary: This is description of the form of Nishchaya Yoga Bhakti.

By means of completely inwards oriented Param Samadhi, with abandonment of all the moha-raga-dwesha etc. form other bhavas; the Sadhu i.e. Bhavya Jiva close to Moksha who establishes own Karan Paramatma with own indivisible adwait supremely blissful nature , that supreme ascetic is having shuddha nishchaya  Yoga Bhakti. How can any other person, happily engaged in external exhibition etc. have Yoga Bhakti?

Same is told elsewhere-

Quote: Specific manifestation of mind by efforts of own soul within Bramha i.e. own soul is Yoga. In other words without any external assistance purely by own efforts, the engagement of mind within own Bhagwan Atma is Yoga.

Shloka 228. The Muniraj who continuously merges the soul within soul; that Muniraj surely is equipped with Nishchaya Yoga Bhakti.

Gatha 138: The Sadhu who applies himself for elimination of all Vikalpas ( engaging soul within soul he eliminates all vikalpas), he is having Yoga Bhakti. How can anyone else have Yoga?

Commentary: Here also the form of Nishchaya Yoga Bhakti is described similar to previous gatha.

By means of Nirvikalpa Samadhi having characteristics of own consciousness dalliance with extremely extraordinary flawless jewel trio form, with absence of all the moha-raga-dwesha etc. form different viklapas, by means of supreme equanimity form bhavas, the Bhavya jiva shortly to attain Moksha, who mates with his own internal karan samaysar form without any residue, he has real Nishchaya Bhakti; no one else has.

Shloka 229. In the absence of differentiations, such incomparable Yoga Bhakti is attained. With that the Yogis accomplish soul attainment form famous salvation.

Gatha 139: Renouncing the opposite beliefs, the one who engages the soul in the Jain  described Tattvas, his own bhava is Yoga.

Commentary: Here it has been told that engagement in soul, by Jina Muni Naths etc. who have  all the qualities , without having wrong belief in tattvas as described by Ganadhar Deva,  is Nishchaya Param Yoga.

Wrong insistence in the opposite substance form as described by preachers of faiths other than Jains only is wrong belief. Renouncing them, the Jains described Tattvas should be known by means of Nishchaya Vyavahara. The servants of lotus feet of Tirthankara Arihant are Jains. Among them the prime are Ganadhar Deva. The Jina Yogishwara who engages his own soul in all the Jivas etc. tattvas as described by those Ganadhar Devas; his own bhava only is Param Yoga. 

Shloka 230. Abandoning the above described false insistence, the Jina Yoginath who applies his own bhava directly in the tattvas, which destroy the rebirths of bhavya jivas, as revealed  by the lotus lips of Ganadhar etc, Jain Muninaths; his own bhava is Yoga.

Gatha 140: Rishabh etc. Jineshwara have attained salvation bliss by means of this supreme Yoga Bhakti. Hence you also adopt this Uttam Yoga Bhakti.

Commentary: This is conclusion of Bhakti Adhikar.

In this Bharat Varsha, from Tirthankara Rishabha Deva son of first king Nabhiraj till the last Tirthankara Mahaveer, all the twenty four tirthankara Param Devas  have been omniscient Veetragi. All these Tiirthankaras great Devadhideva Parameshwara whose fame is spread in all of the Bharat Varsha, have attained salvation by means of supreme Bhakti of shuddha nishchaya yoga which is related to the own soul as described above. In that salvation with the embracement of the firm breasts of salvation bride they have been enriched in all the soul Pradesh with extremely bliss form flood of supreme nectar. Therefore O great bhavya people whose capability has been revealed! You practice this Yoga Bhakti with pure bhava which provides supreme Veetragi bliss.

Completing the commentary on last gatha  of Param Bhakti Adhikar the commentator Muniraj shri Padma Prabha Mal dharideva authors seven shlokas-

Shloka 231. Supreme in qualities, in whom all the mass of punya of three loks have gathered, who is worshipped by the chain of jewels embedded in the crowns of Devendras (i.e. in whose lotus feet the crowns of Devendras bow down) , who are decorated with the dance, song and happiness of shachi etc. famous Indranis together with Shakrendra, who is swamy of greatness and fame , such Son of Nabhiraya Adinath etc. twenty four Tirthankaras I offer obeisance.

Shloka 232. From shri Vrishabh till Shri Veer, all the Jina Pati have attained pleasure of salvation bride by means of Yoga Bhakti as described above.

Shloka 233. For attainment of salvation bliss, I practice Uttam Bhakti of Shuddha Yoga. All jivas fearful of worldly miseries should perform this Uttam Bhakti.

Shloka 234. Acquiring pure pleasant dharma in the company of Guru, my self who has destroyed all the glory of Moha by means of knowledge, now abandoning the mind manifested traditionally with raga-dwesha, remaining stationary in blissful tattva by means of mind subdued with pure dhyan, immerse self  in Paramatma.

Shloka 235. Whose obsession with senses has been satiated and whose mind is extremely keen for attainment of Tattva, for them the glorious  blissful Tattva gets revealed.

Shloka 236. The Yatis who make effort for attainment of happiness generated by means of extremely extraordinary own soul generated spirit, they only attain salvation , not others.

Shloka 237. The Paramatma Tattva who is not engaged in  raga dwesha form duels and is flawless without punya pap form flaws; that one I engage again and again in samyak spirit.  Desirous of salvation and completely desireless of worldly pleasures such Mumukshu myself do not have any business of give and take with the worldly things, they are fruitless for me.
