Alochana Path verse 3
Verse 3 of Alochana Path (Alochana Paath)
इक बे ते चउ इंद्री वा, मनरहित-सहित जे जीवा। तिनकी नहिं करुणा धारी, निरदय ह्वै घात विचारी॥
Meaning (arth)
- This line speaks about beings who have the five senses with a mind that is not mindful. Such beings are described as lacking compassion, heartless, and cruel in their thoughts and actions.
- It highlights the contrast between sensitive life and the absence of karuṇā (compassion) in conduct and inner intention.
Important note
- The wording can vary slightly between Digambar and Shwetambar recensions, but the core message — a critique of cruelty and a call for compassion — remains the same.
