ENDURANCE OF COLD AND HOT

3.51 samdhim logassa jāņittā.
All beings intend to live. Knowing the intention, one should not be non-vigilant.
Bhāsyam Sūtra 51
Here the Sanskrit equivalent of intention is 'sandhi'. All creatures desire to live and none to die. This is the intention of the entire world, i.e., entire range of living beings. Knowing this, one should not succumb to non-vigilance. This is first and foremost condition of abstinence from violence.
3.52 ayao bahiyā pāsa.
Consider all other beings as thyself.
Bhāṣyam Sutra 52
You should consider the external world, i.e., the world of living creatures, other than yourself like you own self. Just as suffering is not covetable to yourself, even so it is not liked by any other creature. This understanding is the second condition of abstinence from violence.
3.53
