The **Panchaastikaya** primarily discusses the **punya** (merit) and **papa** (demerit) and their **sthiti** (state) and **anubhag** (experience) as **bandha** (bondage). This is its special characteristic. In this way, the sixth **antaradhikār** (sub-chapter) of the second **mahaadhikār** (major chapter) dealing with the **navapadaartha** (nine substances) is completed with the explanation of **āsrava** (influx) of **punya** and **papa** through six **gāthās** (verses).
Now, the explanation of **sanvara** (restriction) is given.
**Anvayārtha** (meaning): Those who remain on the **samyag** (right) path [**sanvaramārga** (path of restriction)], by restraining the **indriya** (senses), **kaṣāya** (passions), and **saṁjñā** (perceptions) to the extent they do, to that extent the **pāpāsrava** (influx of demerit) is blocked for them.
**Tīkā** (commentary): This explanation of **sanvara** is given because **papa** is **ananta** (infinite).
The **mārga** (path) is actually **sanvara** (restriction), and by its means (cause), the **indriya**, **kaṣāya**, and **saṁjñā** are restrained to the extent or for the time they are restrained, to that extent or for that time the **pāpāsrava** (influx of demerit) is blocked. The **indriya**, **kaṣāya**, and **saṁjñā** are the cause [**nimitta**] of **bhāvapāpāsrava** (influx of demerit in the form of emotions), which is the cause of **dravyapapāsrava** (influx of demerit in the form of matter) as explained earlier (in the 140th verse). Here, their restraint is the cause of **bhāvapāpasamvara** (restriction of demerit in the form of emotions) and **dravyapapāsrava** (restriction of demerit in the form of matter), which should be understood. ||141||
**Saṁ. Tā.** (Summary): This verse, beginning with "**Indriyakaṣāya**", is a **samudāyapātanikā** (verse that destroys a group of things) in the explanation of **sanghara** (restriction) which is achieved by **paramopekshā** (supreme indifference) **saṁyama** (self-control) that is free from all **śubhāśubha** (auspicious and inauspicious) **saṁkalpa** (thoughts) and **vikalpa** (doubts) and is characterized by **śuddhātmasamvitti** (pure self-awareness) which is the result of **nidānabandha** (bondage due to causes) such as **kāṁkṣā** (desire) for **bhoga** (enjoyment) and **dṛṣṭaśruta** (seen and heard) **pujālābha** (honor and gain).
