2.127 samdhim vidittā iha macciehim.
One should get rid of addiction to desires by disarming the
joining point in the mortals. Bhāśyam Sūtra 127 In the scripture, the word 'sandhi' (Joining point) is used in various senses. It is found in six places in the present scripture: [1] The noble self-disciplined ascetic (2.106) endowed with noble

Praise-worthy indeed is the hero who delivers beings from the
bondage of desires. Bhasyam Sūtra 127 The release from desires is possible by valiant exertion. Therefore, in this path of discipline, only the person who has the courage of exertion in selfgoet 451 IMS-Fahhof, 2004 C
