एक प्रकार से सम्पूर्ण दशवैकालिकसूत्र का यह उपसंहार वाक्य है कि अपने संयम की रक्षा करने वाला सब दुःखों से मुक्त हो जाता है। यही धर्माचरण का अन्तिम फल है।
ELABORATION:
(16) As soul is immortal and indestructible, this statement seems to be contradictory. However, as this text is about the ascetic way the statement should be viewed from that angle only. The ascetic.way is the path of discipline. For an ascetic discipline is life or soul. Thus, for him protecting the soul means protecting discipline.
This last verse is the one sentence theme of this book-One who protects his discipline is liberated from all sorrows. This is the ultimate fruit of right conduct or religious conduct.
