Look at the agony of such people. Bhagyam Sūtra 137 A person excited by the thought of sexual desires and the fortune needed for its satisfaction is a person in anguish, that is, distressed and miserable. Observing this state of the anguished person you should know that sexual desire and wealth are the source of misery and suffering. 2.139 aparinnāe kamdati.
The person not abstaining from accumulation of wealth be
wails in the long run. Bhāsyam Sūtra 139 Ignorant of the true nature of desires and the wealth and their consequences, he weeps. He bewails out of unfulfilled ambition when the object is not achieved, and sheds tears out of grief when the object is lost. 2.140 se tam jānaha jamaham bemi.
Think of what I say. Bhāsyam Sūtra 140 You should understand what I say. The Sūtra draws the attention of the disciple towards the remedy of the sexual malady. 2.141 teicchampamạite pavayamāņe.
The learned physician (heretic) proposes the treatment (of sexu
ality). Bhāsyam Sūtra 141 There is a learned heretic who declares the remedy: ''I can cure the sexual desire as well as any physical ailment." In the present context, the cure refers to the treatment of the sexual urge.29 The subjugation of the sexual urges is intended here. Such subjugation requires a definite remedy. The spiritual remedy was indicated in the preceding Sūtras. In the Tantric discipline, the herbal treatment is also available. The injury to vegetation is indispensable is such treatment. This is clearly indicated in the sūtra. 2.142 se hamtā chetta bhettă lumpaitta vilumpaittā uddavaittā.
