Bhāsyam Sutra 35 Those who are disenchanted with sensual enjoyments are vigilant in all respects. They succeed in crossing to the other shore. In accordance with the principle, 'what is being done is indeed done', those who are in the process of disenchantment are designated as disenchanted. The other shore means the discipline. Accordingly those who are practising the discipline are designated as those who have crossed over to the shore. 2.36 lobham alobheņa dugamchamāne, laddhe kāme nābhigāhai.

He overcomes the wheel of actions and brings to stop the wheel of drives and actions and become the knower and perceiver of truth, and starts attenuating his worldly involvement as the doer of deeds. 2.38 padilahāe ņāvakamkhati. After proper investigation he does not desire for anything. Bhāoyam Sutra 38 Some people again renounces the world while entangled in worldly activities and desires.
