**Aaturpratyakhyanaprakirnakam Durdhyan-44, 45, 46**
**Verse 43:**
"In the ears, the tauy tattam of the cow, what is it that is established? In the ears, of the one who is being bound, by that, the hard iron rods are driven in."
**Commentary:**
"The intense hatred, the pradvēṣa, its meditation is in that. Like the hatred of a camel towards the desert, or like the hatred of a cowherd towards Śrīvīra, who throws iron rods at his ears."
**Gun:**
"The intense hatred, the pradvēṣa, its meditation is in that."
**Verse 44:**
"The harsh, extremely cruel karma, its meditation is in that. Like the hatred of a Chulanī towards Brahmadutta, or like the hatred of a Maṇiratha towards Yugabāhu, or like the hatred of a king who sends a Śrāvikā to a serpent's pot under the pretense of bringing flowers."
**Commentary:**

**Verse 45:**
"The fear, the nature which is like a sharp weapon, hidden within delusion, its meditation is in that. Like the fear of a Somila who has been attacked by a trained elephant."
**Commentary:**
"The fear, the nature which is like a sharp weapon, hidden within delusion, its meditation is in that. Like the fear of a Somila who has been attacked by a trained elephant."
**Gun:**

**Verse 46:**
"The form, its meditation is in that. In some texts, the word 'annarūvam' is also seen. There, the form is observed, as in a mirror, its meditation is in that. And that is of two types: meditation on one's own form and meditation on the form of another. Meditation on one's own form is like the meditation of Sanatkumāra, whose form was praised by the gods. Meditation on the form of another is like the meditation of Caṇḍapradhyota, who observes the forms of Angāravati and others, painted on the leaves of trees."
