Verses 179, 180
rope as winding and unwinding of its two ends take place. Similarly, the soul continues to get bound with new karmas and, as a consequence, its whirling around in the world continues. The rope should be loosened at both ends to stop bondage of new karmas, and soul's whirling around in the world.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Only through avipāka nirjarā, attained through austerities (tapa) as attachment (rāga) and aversion (dveşa) are extirpated, bondage of new karmas is stopped.
रागद्वेषकृताभ्यां जन्तोर्बन्धः प्रवृत्त्यवृत्तिभ्याम् । तत्त्वज्ञानकृताभ्यां ताभ्यामेवेक्ष्यते मोक्षः ॥१८०॥
अर्थ - राग और द्वेष के द्वारा की गई प्रवृत्ति और निवृत्ति से जीव के बन्ध होता है तथा तत्त्वज्ञान-पूर्वक की गई उसी प्रवृत्ति और निवृत्ति के द्वारा उसका मोक्ष देखा जाता है।
Association (pravrtti) and dissociation (nivrtti) out of attachment (rāga) and aversion (dvesa) result in soul's bondage (with karmas); association (pravrtti) and dissociation (nivịtti) out of knowledge of the reality result in liberation (moksa).
