Elaboration In this aphorism, by explaining about worthlessness of mundane pleasures and ephemeral nature of life, inspires a seeker, averse to mundane pleasures and involved in practices of ascetic discipline, to be apathetic to acts of sin like carnal pleasures and non-celibacy,
Mundane pleasures are worthless because they never culminate into satiation. That is why people like Bharat Chakravarti, understanding the worthlessness of mundane pleasures, proceeded towards ascetic discipline.
The words uvavaya and chyavan have been used to point at the birth and death of gods. The birth and death of human beings is a well known fact but a misconception prevails that divine life with abundance of mundane pleasures is eternal; gods are immortal. These two words refute that misconception.
Ananna or ananya points at the solitary nature of soul during practice of discipline and in liberation.
One who perceives (attains) the ultimate fundamental in the form of right perception-knowledge-conduct is called anomadamsi. १२१. कोहाइमाणं हणिया य वीरे, लोभस्स पासे णिरयं महंतं।
तम्हा हि वीरे विरए वहाओ, छिंदिज्ज सोयं लहुभूयगामी॥ १२१. हे वीर पुरुष ! क्रोध और मान को नष्ट कर, लोभ को महान् नरक के रूप में देख ! इसलिए हिंसा से विरत होकर विषय-वासना रूप स्रोतों को छिन्न-भिन्न करके लघुभूत होकर विचरण करे। ___121. 0 brave ! Destroy anger and conceit and see greed as the lowest hell. Thereby refrain from violence, shatter the sources (of karma in the form of mundane pleasures) and drift after becoming light (rarified in terms of passions).
विवेचन-लहुभूयगामी” का अर्थ है आत्मा को राग-द्वेष के भार से हल्का बनाकर विचरे। ज्ञातासूत्र में लघुभूत तुम्बी का उदाहरण देकर बताया है कि जैसे-सर्वथा लेपरहित होने पर तुम्बी जल के ऊपर आ जाती है, वैसे ही लघुभूत कर्ममुक्त-आत्मा संसार से ऊपर मोक्ष में पहुँच जाता है। शीतोष्णीय : तृतीय अध्ययन
