४४. एस पुरिसे दविए वीरे, आयाणिज्जे वियाहिए।
जे धुणाइ समुस्सयं, वसित्ता बंभचेरंसि ॥ 44. Esa purise davie vire, āyānijje viyāhie,
Je dhunāi samus sayaḥ, vašittā bambhacerarsi. 44. He (who abandons amassing flesh and blood) is desig
nated as one who is free from attachment and aversion, heroic and model (of sterling character), for others. Observing continence, he withers away his
(gross) body as well as kar ma-body, ४५. णेत्तेहि पलिछिन्नेहि, आयाणसोय-गढिए बाले।
अव्वोच्छिन्नबंधणे, अणभिक्कंतसंजोए,
तमंसि अविजाणओ आणाए लंभो णत्थि ति बेमि। 45. Nettehim palichimehiń, āyānasoya -gadhie bāle.
Avvocchinabamdhane, arrabhikkamtasamjoe, Tamañsi avijānao anae lambho natthi tti bemi. While practising subjugation of the senses, a sādhaka. who is easily (assailed by delusion), who gets bogged down in sensuality and who cannot cut off the familyties and monetary fetters (on being overwhelmed by likes and dislikes), getting lost in the darkness of attachment), loses sight (of the evil consequences of self-indulgence). Such a sādhaka cannot avail himself of the benefit of the Teachings. -- I say so.
45.
ANNOTATION 45. Knowledge (i. e. ānā or ajña) can be interpreted in two ways:
(a) Scriptural Knowledge.
(b) Didactic Knowledge, 1. The word 'Brah macarya' (continence) envisages three
meanings: (a) Acăra Asceticism. (b) Chastity i.e. abstinence from sexual acitivity
of any sort. (c) Staying within the monastic order. Here, however, it has been used in the sense of asceticism. Chastity is, as a matter of fact, a part and parcel of asceticism.
