śvetāmbarāḥ kṣamāśīlā niḥsaṅgā jainasādhavaḥ //10//

"Of the soul which has attained the four infinite things[65] and is hidden from the world, and whose eight actions are abolished, absolute liberation is declared by Jina. The Śvetāmbaras are the destroyers of all defilement, they live by alms,[66] they pluck out their hair, they practise patience, they avoid all association, and are called the Jaina Sādhus. The Digambaras pluck out their hair, they carry peacocks' tails in their hands, they drink from their hands, and they eat upright in the giver's house,—these are the second class of the Jaina Ṛṣis.
