The desires that have been abandoned by means of self-examination should not be indulged in again. This is a support to the nature of thoughtful contemplation. 2.132 se maimam pariņņāya, māya hu lālam paccāsi.
The intelligent monk should comprehend the nature of de
sires and abandon them; he should not lick his own saliva. Bhāśyam Sutra 132 The intelligent aspirant has got rid of the desires by the practice of the twofold comprehension. Comprehension means discrimination. It is twofold: comprehension qua knowledge of the resultants of desires, and comprehension qua abandonment of the desires. In this Sūtra, the meditative thought is impressed upon the disciple: “You should not lick back your own saliva. The desires vomitted should not be licked back." 2.133 mā tesu tiricchamappāņmāvātae.

So long as there is attachment to his body, a person clings to those apertures. The body may be at any place, but the mind runs to those apertures again and again. In reference to such state of the mind, the Lord has given the instruction: One should not throw25. one self into those apertures. 2.134 kāramkase khalu ayam purise, bahumāi, kadeņa mudhe puno tam
karei lobham. The person is full of lust for desires, he deceives many in various ways, and deluded by his deeds he repeatedly indulges in
greed (for the desires). Bhāsyam Sūtra 134 The desires are twofold: wishful desires and sexual urge. The lustful person26 takes resort to various deceitful devices to satisfy his desires. He is deceitful in multiple ways. He is greedy of various objects. To the query: why is one so greedy, the Sūtra gives the doctrine of the origin of persistent habits. A habit or instinct is produced in the person according to his deeds. That instinct or habit persistently follows him, that is, finds expression in him again and again, the implication is: the person indulges
