After citing the gatha, he thus comments : अत्र पामरस्य पट्टांशुकोत्तरीयाभरणानौचित्याद् औचित्यविरुद्धमिदम् ।
99. Bhoja introduces this gatha, in the context of वैशेषिक गुण. Vaisesika Gunas or
Dosa-gunas - which are cases of Doșas turning out to be Guņas under certain circumstances. ये तु दोषा अपि आश्रयविशेषाद्युपाधेर्गुणत्वमाश्रीयन्ते ते वैशेषिकाः । यथोच्यते -
Vinaya (modesty) is a Guna of women, and Avinaya (lack of Vinaya) is a Doșa. But in the case of public women it is Avinaya that is a Guna, just as smoke which is otherwise a Dosa is Guņa when it emanates from ignited (fragrant) sandal wood.

After citing the gathain his SK Bhoja thus comments : अत्र मण्ड्रक-मर्कटसर्पसिंहेष्वप्रसिद्धप्रयोगत्वाद् गूढस्यापि हरिशब्दस्य स्वयं व्याख्यातत्वाद् गुणत्वम् । - सरस्वती, पृ. ९३.
