Mmgl Annex Iii (30-1) 3. He Explained It Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

All these Buddhas' writings' and teachings' speak about one principle of twelve things. They appear to be interrelated with reason and action. To come out of them they control like this. Since they continue to appear as depending upon each other, Buddha explained the position clearly to the people.

[The twelve things are: - (1) Pedhamai (Ignorance) , (2) Seigai (action) , (3) Unnarvu (feeling) , (4) Aruvuru (life in body) . (5) Vaayil (five senses) , (6) Oorru (body) , (7) Nugarvu (sight) , (8) Vetkkai (desire) , (9) Patru (attachment) , (10) Pavam (sin) , (11) Thotram (appearance) , (12) Vinaipayan (fruit of action) ]

4. Accustomed to feel
If once this kind of appearance is removed, they reappear again. There is no action free from any reason. Normally action is bound by reason. But actions are of two kinds one to act with reason and another to act without reason. They repeat as fruits of actions.

5. Calm group
There are four divisions here and these four divisions react on three occasions.

Ist division: Ignorance, action, these two
IInd division: Feeling, life in body, five senses, touch, sight, these five
IIIrd division: Desire, attachment, sin, these three
IV division: Appearance, fruit of action, these two

Three unity factors are: (1) Action mixed with feeling, (2) Sight mixed with desire and (3) birth mixed with appearance.

6. Appearance and time
When investigated the appearance of birth fall under three types—formless, form and lust. To suit the appearance there exist three types of periods, past, present and future.

7. When seen it is strong
By the fruits of desire, attachment, and ignorance—these three offences, birth and action—these two actions, and the rest seven, they do not stay long, they are useless, and they give worries. When these things are avoided, one can attain spiritual knowledge and can reach the imperishable heavenly abode.

8. Place, peace and case
Along with worry, worry-free, worried appearance, and the way to abstain from worry— these four kinds of nature, and also with five types- form, pain, motive, pretension and science, the resultant effect is true case, or false case, or based on truth case, or based on truth no case, or based on false case, or based on false no case—these six type of cases occur.

9. Goodness - question and answer
There are found kinds of justice or goodness—universal, motivated, doubtful, and natural. There is no product without touching one of these things. To say, or discuss, or question or argue that there is no attachment for wealth, nor any aim in action nor any reason for action, nor anything else of this kind—like this functions the calmness..

10. Self is the first
With no creation, nor destruction by evil, nor one after another ending in destruction, nor from the start involve oneself, nor attached to an attitude as me and mine, nor whatever others can do but done by oneself, action or fruits of action, exposed to birth and death—for all these things the calmness will go as first-self.

11. Variety of calmness
Ignorance, action, feeling, life in body, five senses, touch, sight, desire, attachment, birth, appearance, fruits of action—those who know the merits of these twelve qualities, they must be knowing the path to the heaven. Those who fail to know them, they know the way to the hell.

12. Ignorance
What is ignorance? Whatever things told till now, if those do not understand, but only believe what they see in their vision, without knowing the truth, they are like those who believe in false notions stating, "Hare has got only three legs, " or those who simply listen to others without verifying the facts—this is nothing but ignorance.

13. The world and the life
There are three types of world, upper, lower and middle. There are endless living creatures in these three worlds. They are of six types, human beings, Devas. Brahma, hell beings, varieties of animals, and ghosts.

14. Action
Good action and bad action are the two kinds of actions, which influence the six different living beings and the results of their actions make them to take birth consistent with their deeds. They enjoy or suffer according to their actions.

15. Bad actions
What is bad action? Murder, theft, and lust- these three bad actions will appear even in a normal sound body. Falsehood, backbiting, hot words, useless words—these four bad actions come from speech. To covet others things, to hate others, to blame others—these three come from the heart. Like this, on these ten bad habits, wise men never keep in their minds. In case they keep in their minds, they will appear in the next birth as animals, ghosts or hell-men and will suffer sorrows and pains.

16. Good actions
What is good action? Avoiding the above said ten bad actions, one should do virtuous deeds and should keep one's head erect in giving alms and charities. Such persons will be born as Devas, human beings, and Brahma to enjoy the fruits of their good deeds.
