तपोनित्येन दान्तेन मुनिना संयतात्मना | अजित जेतुकामेन भाव्यं सड्लेष्वसज्धिना,जो जितेन्द्रिय है, जिसने मनपर अधिकार प्राप्त कर लिया है तथा जो अजित पदको जीतनेकी इच्छा करता है, नित्य तपस्यामें संलग्न रहनेवाले उस मुनिको आसक्ति-जनक भोगोंसे अलग--अनासक्त रहना चाहिये
Translation
जो जितेंद्रिय, संयतात्मा मुनि नित्य तपात रत आहे आणि ‘अजित’ पद जिंकण्याची इच्छा धरतो, त्याने आसक्ती निर्माण करणाऱ्या भोगांत असूनही अनासक्त राहावे।
