## Chapter 1: Inattentiveness - 21, 22, 23
**21 - Panthanam Jhanē (Departure Meditation)**
The two anusvāras are both metaphorical. Therefore, departure is the act of going with an inauspicious mind. Or, it is a great and difficult path. It is like the path of Mahendra Singh searching for Sanatkumara, or like the path of Brahmadatta or Vardhana. ||21||
**Commentary by Soma:** Panthanam Jhanē - A great and difficult path, meditation on it. It is like the path of Mahendra Singh searching for Sanatkumara, or like the path of Brahmadatta or Vardhana. Or, it is the act of going with the mind on that path. The two anusvāras are both metaphorical. ||21||
**Commentary by Gan:** The two anusvāras are both metaphorical. Therefore, departure is the act of going with an inauspicious mind. Or, it is a great path, meditation on it. ||21||
**22 - Nirdezhanē (Sleep Meditation)**
The anusvāra is metaphorical. Sleep is a very fast and ugly movement. Meditation on it is the meditation of one who is dependent on sleep. For example:
1. One who eats buffalo meat
2. One who desires sweets
3. One who pulls out elephant tusks
4. One who breaks the head of a good person like a potter who breaks a clay pot
5. One who breaks the branches of a banyan tree like a good person.
These are examples of sleep and heedlessness. ||22||
**Commentary by Soma:** Nidam Jhanē - Meditation on sleep is the meditation of one who is dependent on sleep. It is like: 1. One who eats buffalo meat, 2. One who desires sweets, 3. One who pulls out elephant tusks, 4. One who breaks the head of a good person like a potter who breaks a clay pot, 5. One who breaks the branches of a banyan tree like a good person. ||22||
**Commentary by Gun:** Sleep is a very fast and ugly movement. ||22||
**23 - Niyanam Jhanē (Cause Meditation)**
The anusvāra is metaphorical. The cause is the desire for heavenly rewards and other powers. Meditation on it is the meditation on that cause.
"The man of Rauggiithi, with many desires, is a demon who is a great enemy. He desires wealth in a house of the poor, and he desires new causes."
This is the desire for wealth and other powers in the future. It is like the desire of Draupadi, who was born from the union of Nandishena and Gangadatta. ||23||
**Commentary by Soma:** Niyanam Jhanē - The cause is the desire for heavenly rewards and other powers. It is the form of nine new causes in the future. It is like the desire of Draupadi, who was born from the union of Nandishena and Gangadatta. ||23||
**Commentary by Gun:** The cause is the desire for heavenly rewards and other powers. ||23||
