AYARO
३. तओ से मारस्स अंतो, जओ से मारस्स अंतो, तओ से दूरे। 3. Tao se mărassa aṁto, jao se mārassa amto, tao se
dure. One who succumbs to desire is within the reach of mara (i. e, Death), and because he is within the reach of Death, he is further removed from (the Immortal (i.e. Nirvana).
ANNOTATION 3. Being impelled by the desire for happiness one indulges in sensual pleasures. This results in many physical and mental complications. Consequently he goes farther and farther away from happiness. Thus the very purpose is defeated.

5.
He (i, e. the wise man) looks upon life as a mere dew drop which quivers upon the tip of the kuša grass
1. The alternate translation of this aphorism can be done.
as follows:
He (who renounces the external means of sensual pleasures, but does not forsake sensuality) is neither near to (asceticism in reality) nor far from (it in appearance).
