Having dissolved sexual attachments which are exceedingly difficult to be dissolved, if the person lives in society, the rest of his attachments also disappear. As for instance, if the person, having crossed the ocean, has come out of it, it becomes then, easy for him to cross the rivers like the Ganga. Just as women have been reprehended by those men who are the practisers of celibacy, so also men have been reprehended by those women who are its pursuers But there are such virtuous women as are the enjoyers of extensive glory They are the gods of human world and arc fit to be revered even by the celestial beings. Blessed is he whom the fire of lust which moves on the tender grass of youthfulness, which has been inflamed by the tree of sensuality and which consumes the forest of beings in the three worlds, does not burn The night that passes does not return The nights of the man committing vicious acts pass in vain. Three businessmen, having taken the capital, went out The one carned profit, the other came back homic with the original capital (without carning any profit), the third, having lost there even the original capital, returned Just as this example is in regard to the worldly transaction, so also all of you should understand this in the field of auspicios Karmas (material Karmic particles) The self knows by the self that rcal Dharnia (spiritual value) is self-seeingness. The self does this is such a way that he becomes the altamer of self-caused happiness
(10) Of self-restraint (My) self alone is the river Vaitarani ( the self alone is fraught with viccs), (My) self alone is the Kutasalmali tree for me (the self alone is distressful for himsell), (my) sler alone is the Kamadudha cow (the self alone is the yieldes of desired objects for himsell) and (My) sell alone is the Indra's garden for me (the self alone is the pleasureful dwelling for himself)
