A monk may find "I am being (unwillingly) seduced by a woman) and (I feel that) this enticing rigour is overwhelming me''; only a well-disciplined monk would, by his full conscious reasoning and entire willpower, subjugate his arising passions and thus save himself from sinful indulgence.
ANNOTATION 57. Out of the 22 rigours (parisahás), "woman" and "yearning for being praised" are considered to be the two "Šita parişaha" (i.e. cooling rigour) and the rest twenty rigours are "usna parişaha" (i.e. scorching rigour), (vide, Acaranga Nir yukti, 3/verse 202). I
. In the context of this aphorism, the word "dita sparsa" could be interpreted as "stri-parişaha" (i.e. rigours pertaining to the fair sex or 'the enjoyment of sexual pleasures.") ५८. तवस्सिणो हु तं सेयं, जमेगे विहमाइए। 58. Tavassino hu taṁ seyań, jamege vihamãie. 58. (In the event of being unwillingly seduced by a woman),
for an austere monk death by hanging himself is bene ficial (rather than yielding to her). Such a course
should be adopted by a chaste and pure monk. ५६. तत्थावि तस्स कालपरियाए।
