THE TRUTH
Bhagavän Mahavira has referred to the withering away of the subtle kar må-body. It is of secondary importance whether the gross body is emaciated or not.
फसाय-विवेग-पदं ३४. विगिच कोहं अविकंपमाणे, इमं णिरुखाउयं संपेहाए। Kasāya -vivega-padai 34. Vigimca kohaṁ avikainpa māne, imam niruddhāuyań
sampehāe. 34. Realising that man's life span is limited, remain un
shaken (by passions) and eschew (the passion of) anger.
ANNOTATION 34: In the present Sutra, the truth that --
"Kämāt krodho' bhijāyate"-(Gītā, 2/62) i. e.
"Sensual pleasures engender anger" has been propounded.
Loss of pleasant objects and association of unpleasant ones are the main causes of the generation of anger.
३५. दुक्खं च जाण अदुवागमेस्सं। 35. Dukkham ca jāna aduvăgamessań. 35 Know (the process of) the present as well as the future
miseries.
ANNOTATION 35. Anguish is caused by anger. Anger not only begets anger but also sows and fosters its seeds in the form of saṁskaras (i, e. impressions) which are the source of miseries in the future. The realisation of this fact helps an ascetic to forsake anger.
३६. पुढो फासाई फासे। 36. Puậho phâsāiń ca phase. 36. An irate person suffers from various kinds of miser
ies and maladies.
