## Aaturpratyakhyanaprakiirnakam
The ocean is not filled by fourteen rivers. Just as fire cannot be satisfied by grass and wood, nor the salt ocean by thousands of rivers, so also the soul cannot be satisfied by sensual pleasures.
**80.** Aatur. Ga. 52. "What is the meaning of the statement that even a little desire leads to sin?"
Even for the sake of food, fish enter the seventh earth. Food obtained with a disturbed mind is not suitable, even if desired by the mind.
**81.** Aahaaranimittam - because of food. Kir - this is a definite statement, as it is said in the scriptures. Maccha - fish. Gachchanti - go, enter. Sattami - seventh. Pudhvi - earth, the realm of existence. Sacchitto - with a disturbed mind, unsuitable for killing living beings. Aahaaro - food. Na kappati - is not suitable. Manasaavi - even by the mind, by mental activity. Patthedu - to request, to ask.
Because of food, fish, rice, and other things definitely enter the seventh earth, therefore, even if desired by the mind, food obtained with a disturbed mind is not suitable.
**82.** Aatur. Ga. 53. "Since food obtained with a disturbed mind is not suitable, therefore, one should strive for pure conduct."
First, having performed the previous karma, being free from desire, having strived with intellect and understanding, then, having purified the passions, be ready to accept death.
**83.** Puvva - previous, first. Kadaparimmo - performed karma, the practice of austerities. Anidaano - without desire for worldly or otherworldly happiness. Eehiduuna - having strived, having made an effort. Madibuuddhi - with intellect and understanding, possessing knowledge of both the seen and the unseen. Paccha - afterwards. Maliyakasaao - purified from passions, possessing forgiveness. Sajjo - ready, devoted, having fulfilled one's duty. Maranam - death, Samadhi, death by self-study. Padicchaahi - accept, practice.
One goes to hell because of wrong conduct, therefore, having made a firm decision based on direct and indirect knowledge, having performed the previous karma, being free from desire, and having purified the passions, one should be ready to accept death.
