vāyaṇāe ṇaṃ bhaṃte! jīve kiṃ jaṇayai?
vāyaṇāe ṇaṃ nijjaraṃ jaṇayai, suyassa ya aṇāsāyaṇāe vaṭṭae| suyassa aṇāsāyaṇāe vaṭṭamāṇe titthadhammaṃ avalaṃbai| titthadhammaṃ avalaṃbamāṇe mahānijjare mahāpajjavasāṇe bhavai|

"By teaching (vācanā), Sir, what does the soul produce?"
"By teaching, it produces dissociation of karma (nirjarā), and abides in non-disrespect of the scripture. Abiding in non-disrespect of the scripture, it relies on the tirtha's Dharma. Relying on the tirtha's Dharma, it attains great dissociation [of karma] and a great consummation."
