SUBJUGATION OF THE WORLD

163. After gaining knowledge, a muni should shake to its
roots his karma body (to cast off kar ma particles). १६४. पंतं लूहं सेवंति वीरा समतदसिणो। 164. Pamtań lühaṁ seva mti virā sa mattadamsiņo. 164. The heroic one practising equanimity2 should take
tasteless and coarse food. १६५. एस ओघंतरे मुणी, तिण्णे मुत्ते विरते, वियाहिते त्ति बेमि । 165. Esa oghantare muni tinne mutte virate ,viyāhite
tti bemi. 165. Such a muni who has crossed the ocean of life and
death, is called successful, liberated, and devoid of passion. I say so.
१६६: दुबसु मुणी अणाणाए। 166. Duvvasu muņi aņāņāe. The Richly Disciplined and the Poorly Disciplined
166. A muni who violates these injunctions becomes poor
(by losing wealth of self-discipline). 1. Cf. foot-note on 2/103. 2. The author of the Vrtti has interpreted sammattada msino
as sa matvudarsi in the first instance and as an alternative as samyaktvadarši. Probably the text before him was "samattadansino. The interpretation 'sa matvadar si seems to be more consistent, because a sa matvadarsi i. e. one who practises equanimity alone can eat unsavoury food with equanimity. The Dasaveyâliyam
(5/1/97) corroborates this contention. "Tittagaṁ va kaduyar va kasāyam, aṁbilaṁ va mahuram
lavanaṁ vă. Eya laddha mamaţtha -pautta, mahu-ghayam va bhumjjeja
samjae.!' The self-disciplined muni should eat food prepared for a householder and offered to him of whatever taste it may be as if he were eating honey and butter.
