    Gātha 269

     

    The ascetics are like the army of Lord Jina, the destroyer of karma-enemies. The apostles (gaṇadhara) are the preceptors of the ascetics. Remembering always their pious feet, the worshipful ācāryas, themselves possessing many propitious qualities, have crafted this composition that expounds the nature of the soul [note 1].
