१२६. गढिए अणुपरियट्टमाणे ।
126. Gadhie anupariyattamāṇe.
126.
A lascivious person is caught into the vicious circle of the objects of desire.

ANNOTATION 126: Comprehension of the endless recurrence of sensuality is the second buttress of emancipation of the mind from lust.
The enjoyment of sex can never appease the desire for it. That is why an amorous person keeps dodging it. The only way to alleviate desire is desirelessness (temperance). One who is conversant with the principle of the endless recurrence of cupidity is awakened to the realization that lust enslaves. And ultimately, he is redeemed of it.
१२७. संधि विदित्ता इह मच्चिएहि ।
127.
Samdhim viditta iha macciehim.
127. Comprehending the joints of mortal human (body), (one should liberate oneself from attachment to desire).
ANNOTATION 127: The third means of banishing sensuality from the mind is the perception of the joints of the body. This means to realize that the body is mortal and just a conglomeration of various joints. The body is believed to have a hundred and eighty joints in all, out of which fourteen are called "great joints". These are: three joints in the right hand shoulder, elbow and wrist, three in the left hand, three on the right side below the trunk- hip joint,knee, ankle, three on the left side below the trunk, one in the neck and sacrolumbar joint. (Cf. Visuddhimagga, part I, 165).
१२८. एस वीरे पसंसिए, जे बद्धे पडिमोयए ।
128. Esa vire pasamsie, je baddhe padimoyae.
