pleasures like sound; to lay emphasis on these four the word vir has been repeated four times."
Mauam-silence. This word is interpreted two ways. One-the attitude of a muni (ascetic) which is discipline, and two-the basis of ascetic life which is knowledge.
Dhune kammasariragam-Carding of karmic body points at shedding of karmas through practices like meditation. No purpose is served by carding or vibrating the physical body unless the karmic body created by attachment and aversion is weakened. In the Agams and their commentaries directions are mainly given for efforts at disintegrating the karmic body. At some places, in context of austerities, stress is given on carding the physical body but in context of meditation it is always about carding the karmic body. The physical body is just the instrument of spiritual practice. Of course, any fondness for this body, even as an instrument of spiritual practices, should be avoided. It should not be pampered with rich and tasty food. This has been stressed by stating-"A brave and equanimous seeker quietly eats stale (leftover), dry and tasteless food." This is an indication of reducing the physical body through discipline of food and austerities.
In many versions 'sammattadamsino' is found as an alternative text for 'samattadamsino'. Commentator (Tika) Sheelankacharya has given 'samyaktvadarshi' and 'samatvadarshi' as transliterations respectively. As the context here is equanimity for drab food 'samatvadarshi' appears to be more appropriate.
