Anupuvvie sarkhãe, arambhão tiuttati.. Bhakta-Pratyākhyāna
Those monks who are enlightened and proficient in religion realize that both (the external objects such as body and its daily necessities and the internal impulses and passions) are fit to be abandoned. Passing through the orderly stages of attaining anupūrvi fast, and having duly discerned the benefits accruing from the voluntary abandonment of the body,
these monks, forswear all activities (arambha). ३. कसाए पय गुए किच्चा, अप्पाहारो तितिक्खए। ___ अह भिक्खू गिलाएज्जा, आहारस्सेव अंतियं ॥ 3. Kasae payanue kiccă, appaharo titikkhae.
Aha bhikkhu gilāejjā, āhārasseva astiyas..
3.
Such a monk attenuates (curbs) passions, curtails his diet and patiently endures (the consequences thereof). The progressive reduction of food emaciates his body and brings him almost to death.
ANNOTATION 3. In the present verse, the method of curtailment of passions and that of food respectively called bhava -samiekhana and dravya samlekhana) has been indicated.
1. Arambha: This term signifies here all those activities
such as going out abegging food and other necessities to sustain life, rendering services to fellow-ascetics and studying the scriptures, etc. undertaken to assist the practice of asceticism.
