vedyasamvedya pada. But this argument will remain inconclusive until Haribhadra shows why the persons upbolding the first four yogaviewpoints are not that much vicious in spite of the fact that they too lack ved yasañyedya pada. To use the traditional Jaina terminology, Haribhadra should bave shown what distinguishes the lower levels of the First gunasthāna from its higber levels.]
क्षुद्रो लाभरतिदीनो मत्सरी भयवान् शठः । अज्ञो भवाभिनन्दो स्यान्निप्फलारम्भसङ्गतः ॥७६॥ kşudro labharatir dino matsarı bhagavan sathah / ajño bhavabhinandi syān nisphalaranıbhasangarah 1/76||
As for a person who welcomes the worldly existence, he is petty, profit-hungry, miserable, jealous, fear-stricked, cunding, ignorant, and one busy doing futile thivgs.
इत्यसत्परिणामानुविद्धो बोधो न सुन्दरः । तत्सङ्गादेव नियमाद् विषसंपृक्तकान्नवत् ॥७७॥ ity asat pariņāmānuviddho bodho na sundara) / tatsangād eva nijamād vişasamp;klakānnavat 117711
Now an understanding that is entangled with the evil traits of character like these is not at all sometbipg admirable and that owing to its association with these evil traits, such an understanding is como parable to food-material with an admixture of poison.
एतद्वन्तोऽत एवेह विपर्यासपरा नराः ।। हिताहितविवेकान्धाः खिधन्ते सांप्रतेक्षिणः ॥७८॥ etadvanto'la eveha viparyāsaparā naraḥ 1 hitahitavivekandhah khidyante sampraleksinah 1178||
For this very reason the men possessed of such an understanding are mostly mistaken as to the nature of things, are incapable of seeing wbat is beneficial to them and what is not, and are subject to worries as a result of fixing their attention exclusively on what is present before their eyes (i.e. as a result of lacking far-sightedness).
जन्ममृत्युजराव्याविरोगशोकायुपतम् । वीक्षमाणा अपि भवं नोद्विजन्तेऽतिमोहतः ॥७९॥ janmansthyujarāvyadhirogasokadyu padrutan / vīkşamāna api bhavam nodvijante'timohataḥ 117911
