Sutras 21-24] Compassion, Charity, Beneficence and the Like 175 २१. तदितरस्तु लौकिकः।
लौकिकः-अपारमार्थिक उपकार इत्यर्थः । 21. taditaras tu laukikah.
laukikaḥ-apāramārthika upakāra ity arthaḥ. (Aph.) What is other than this is mundane. (XXI)
(Gloss) The mundane means the unspiritual beneficence (that does not serve the cause of self-restraint).
(Note) Here ends the discussion of the concept of charity. Now the concepts of happiness and suffering mentioned in connection with the definition of rāga and dveşa are defined. २२. इष्टसंयोगाऽनिष्टनिवृत्तेराह्लावः सुखम् ।
इष्टम् धनमित्रादि ज्ञानदर्शनादि वा, अनिष्टम्-शत्रुदौस्थ्यादि
कर्माणि वा। 22. istasamyoganistanivrtter ahladak sukham.
iştam-dhana-mitrādi jñāna-darśanādi vā, aniștam- śatru-dausthyādi karmāņi vā.
(Aph.) Happiness consists in delight on account of the union with the desired and separation from the undesired. (XXII)
(Gloss) 'The desired' means wealth, friends and the like or knowledge, intuition and the like. "The undesired' means enemy, poverty and the like, or the (acquisition of eight types of) karmans (such as knowledge-obscuring and the rest). २३. तद्विपर्ययो दुःखम् ।
तस्याह्नादस्य विपर्ययो ग्लानिर्दुःखमभिधीयते । 23. tad-viparyayo duhkham.
tasyāhlādasya viparyayo glānir duḥkham abhidhiyate. .. (Aph.) The opposite of that is suffering. (XXIII)
(Gloss) The opposite of happiness, that is, gloom, is called suffering. २४. तच्चात्मविकासावरोधि हेयम् ।
यत्-सुखदुःखमात्मविकासावरोधं कुरुते तद् हेयम् ।
