विनोष, शाम्यति नो गदो यथा, विनाशनं शाम्यति नो क्षुधा यथा ।। विनाम्बुपानेन तृषाव्यथा यथा, . . विना व्रतं कर्मरुगास्रवस्तथा ॥६०॥
Mecning :- Just as a disease cannot be cured without medicine, just as the anguish of hunger cannot be removed without dinner, just as thirst cannot be quenched without water, so also the disease of the Karmic Influx cannot be remedied without the observance of the vows. In other words, just as medicine is necessary for the destruction of a disease, just as dinner is necessary to quiet down hunger, and just as water is essential for quenching the thirst, so also abstention from sinful activities is indispensable for removing the Karmas.
