The person who perceives anger, that is indulges in it, does also perceive pride. In the same way, there is invariable relation of deceit with pride, greed with deceit, love with greed, hatred with love, delusion with hatred. This is the chain of weapon. The creature experiences transmigration due to this chain. The sequence - birth from womb, death from birth, hell and animal life from death, the mutual relation to be understood according to the propriety. The ultimate result of this transformation is suffering If one wants to know the nature of suffering, one should know the nature of anger too, and so on upto the passion of delusion. So long as the latter are not known, the nature of suffering in its genuineness can not also be known. If the suffering is to be avoided, the anger should be avoided at the outset, and so upto delusion. The avoidance of suffering is not possible without getting rid of the aforesaid factors. Accordingly it has been said : 3.84 se mehāvi abhinivattejjā koham ca, mānam ca, māyam ca, loham
ca, pejjam ca, dosam ca, moham ca, gabbham ca, jammam ca, māram ca, naragam ca, tiriyam ca, dukkham ca. The intelligent monks should avoid anger, pride, deceit, greed, love, hatred, delusion, conception, birth, death, hell, animal
life and suffering. Bhāșyam Sutra 84 The intelligent monk desirous of avoiding suffering, should avoid anger etc. in the following order - he should first of all expello anger, cast off and sever connection with it. The person who has cast off anger, has also severed pride and the like, upto suffering. 3.85 eyam pāsagassa damsaņas uvarayasatthassa paliyamtakarassa.
This is the doctrine of seer who has abandoned weapon of
violence and eliminator of destructive karma. Bhāśyam Sutra 85 See Bhāșyam 3.72 3.86 āyāṇam ņisiddhā sagadabbhi. The person who inhibits the passion destroys his past karma.
