**Shri Margadhyayanam**
The words, objects of the senses, and the rules of conduct are called the objects of study. There are some ascetics who are detached and withdrawn from them. That is, they do not have attachment to pleasing objects like words, etc., for the mind, nor aversion to painful objects. Those beings who live in the belly of the world are all living beings - they live for the sake of living. They hate suffering - they do not want suffering. Therefore, understanding those beings as equal to oneself, the ascetic should not cause them suffering, but should manifest his strength and power for their protection and practice restraint. Om Om Om
**Chhaya**
**Anuvaad Pandit** - The wise ascetic, understanding the nature of pride and illusion, and abandoning them, should be devoted to the practice of liberation.
**Pandit. Muni ||34||**
**Atimaanachcha Maayaaschcha Tatparijnaaya Panditah. Sarvametanniraakrutya, Nirvaanam Sandhayenmunih.**
**Tika** - To remove the obstacles to restraint, the sutrakar says - One who transgresses and destroys the code of conduct due to excessive pride is called atimaan. The word 'cha' used here also includes anger. Atimaaya and the word 'cha' include excessive greed. This kshaya is the enemy, the opponent of restraint. Therefore, the wise, discerning muni should abandon these kshayas, which are the cause of the world, and seek liberation. With the presence of kshayas, restraint cannot be fully successful. It is said:
"Saamannamanucharantaassa, Kasaaya Jassa Ukkadaa Honti. Mannaami Ucchupupham Va, Nishphalam Tassa Saamannam. ||1||"
**Chhaya** - The asceticism of one whose kshayas are strong is like the flower of sugarcane, useless.
**Tannishphalatve Cha Na Moksha Sambhav, Tathaacho Ktam**
"Sansaraadapalaayana Prati Bhuvo Raagadayo Me Sthitaastrishna Bandhanabadhyamaanam Akhilam Kim Vetsi Nedam Jagat? | Mrityo! Munja Jaraakarena Parusham Kesheshuu Maa Maa Grahirehi Tyadar Mantrena Bhavatha Kim Naagamiishyami Aham? ||1||"
And so on. Therefore, the abandonment of such kshayas and the contemplation of noble qualities is the best way to seek liberation. ||34||
**Tikaarth** - To remove the defects that create obstacles in restraint, the sutrakar says -
One who transgresses and destroys the code of conduct due to excessive pride is called atimaan. The word 'cha' used here also includes anger. Atimaaya and the word 'cha' include excessive greed. This kshaya is the enemy, the opponent of restraint. Therefore, the wise, discerning muni should abandon these kshayas, which are the cause of the world, and seek liberation. He should be devoted to the path of liberation. With the presence of kshayas, restraint cannot be fully successful. Therefore, it is said:
The asceticism, the life of a shraman, the practice of restraint, of one whose kshayas are strong and persistent, is like the flower of sugarcane, useless. With the failure of asceticism, liberation is not possible. Therefore, it is said - O Death! The attachment, etc., that prevent me from escaping the world are present in me.
