65 Notes : The desireless monk is placed by the author on the highest pedestal here in this stanza. The sovereign monarch even, wafaa even, is nowhere in comparision with him. (7) [95].
परस्पृहा महादुःखं निःस्पृहत्वं महासुखम् । एतदुक्तं समासेन लक्षणं मुखदुःखयोः ॥८॥ ॥९६।। parasprhã mabāduḥkham
niḥspịhatvam mahāsukham, etaduktam samāsena
lakṣaṇam sukhaduḥkhayoḥ 11811 119611 Meaning : To desire from the others is a great unhappiness; desirelessness is a great happiness. This is the characteristic of happiness and misery narrated in brief. (8) [96]
Notes : Desire, Foat and desirelessness, FIETS 479, are themselves stated to be woe and weal respectively. The stanza reproduces what has been said in the भक्तपरिज्ञाप्रकीर्णक where we find this line "fazazel aas gazhale. " (8) [96]
