________________ Verse 145 बाह्येषु दशसु वस्तुषु ममत्वमुत्सृज्य निर्ममत्वरतः। स्वस्थः सन्तोषपरः परिचितपरिग्रहाद्विरतः ॥१४५ ॥ सामान्यार्थ - दश प्रकार के बाह्य परिग्रहों में ममताभाव को छोड़कर, निर्ममत्व भाव में लीन होता हुआ जो (श्रावक) आत्मस्वरूप में स्थित और संतोष में तत्पर रहता है वह सब ओर से चित्त में स्थित परिग्रह से विरत (परिग्रहविरत) होता है। The householder who casts off attachment (or infatuation) to the ten kinds of external possessions and with a deep sense of renunciation remains engrossed and contented in the true nature of his soul, is called the parigrahavirata śrāvaka (ninth stage). EXPLANATORY NOTE As infatuation caused by attachment to possessions (parigraha), internal and external, gets vanquished, and as the mind becomes steady through constant practice, one becomes capable of meditating on the pure soul. Ten kinds of external possessions and fourteen kinds of internal possessions are said to be the causes of infatuation. The external possessions are (1) land, (2) houses, (3) gold, (4) silver, (5) cattle, (6) grain, (7) maid-servants, (8) male-servants, (9) clothes, and (10) utensils. The fourteen internal possessions are (1) wrong belief, (2) malesex passion, (3) female-sex passion, (4) neuter-sex passion, (5) joking, (6) zest, (7) boredom, (8) grief, (9) fear, (10) disgust, (11) anger, (12) pride, (13) deceitfulness, and (14) greed. These possessions cause the loss of equilibrium of the mind. ........................ 233
