Similarly karma whether
for the purpose of chaining a man good or bad equally binds the jiva
COMMENTARY
The distinction between good karma and bad karma is meaningless since the effect in both is identically the same
तम्हा दु कुसीलेहि य राय मा काहि मा व ससग्ग ।
साहीणो हि विणासो कुसीलससग्गरायेण ॥१४७॥ Tahmadu kusilahıya rayam makahı mava samsaggam Sahinohı vinaso kusila samsaggarayena
(147) तस्मात्तु कुशीलै राग मा कुरु मा वा ससर्गम् ।।
स्वाधीनो हि विनाश कशीलससर्गरागेण ॥१४७॥ 147 Therefore do not have attachment for or association with undesirable karmas whether good or bad, by such attachment for or association with undesirable karmas the destruction will be inevitable
COMMENTARY Both the karmas are to be avoided as they lead to the same undesirable result The author emphasises the same point through an analogy
जह णाम कोवि पुरिसो कुच्छियसील जण वियाणित्ता।
वज्जेदि तेण समय ससग्ग रायकरण च ॥१४८॥ Jahanama kovi puriso kuchchiya silam janam viyanitta Vajjedi tena samayam samsaggam rayakaranam cha (148)
यथा नाम कश्चित्पुरुष कत्सितशील जन विज्ञाय । वर्जयति तेन समक ससर्ग रागकरण च ॥१४८॥ एमेव कम्मपयडी सीलसहाव च कुच्छिद णादु ।
वज्जति परिहरति य त ससग्ग सहावरदा ॥१४९॥ Emeva Kamma payadı sılasahavam cha kuchchidam nadum Vajyanti pariharanti ya tam samsaggam sahavarada (149)
एवमेव कर्मप्रकृतिशीलस्वभाव च कुत्सित ज्ञात्वा ।
वर्जयन्ति परिहरन्ति च तत्ससर्ग स्वभावरता ॥१४९॥ 148 and 149 As a person knowing certain people to be of
