45 selected pleasant sounds and advised to quickly avoid feelings of \i attachment, infatuation, obsession, greed, fondness, captivation, and Si contentment, as well as the desire of recalling and pondering on hearing 5
them. In the same way repulsive sounds appear abrasive, bitter, harsh, intolerable and heart-rending. On hearing them if an aspirant expresses aversion it pushes his life into the abyss of inner covetousness. That is the reason the author has listed some selected unpleasant sounds and advised to quickly avoid feelings of anger, rejection, slandering, irritation, piercing, breaking, reprimanding, killing, aversion, hatred etc. on hearing them.
The sum and substance of this is that a monk should train his mind y in the said attitude so as not to be beguiled the moment sweet and
pleasant sound enters his ears and not to loose his temper on hearing harsh and repulsive sounds; only than a non-covetous monk can settle
himself in equanimity and become discipliner and conqueror of senses. 44 (2) Attitude of Chakshurindriya Samvar--When a monk, who
has completely abandoned covetousness (Parigraha), indulges in routine activity, a variety of forms appear before his eyes. Many of these are living things and many non-living. When an interesting and attractive thing appears and looking at that beautiful form or face, if feelings of attachment and fondness are invoked in the mind of the monk he gets trapped in the web of inner Parigraha. That is the reason the author
has, in light of this attitude of Chakshurindriya Samvar (blocking of the 4 inflow of karmas through indulgence of the sense organ of seeing), listed
some selected pleasant forms and advised to quickly avoid feelings of attachment, infatuation, obsession, greed, fondness, captivation, and contentment, as well as the desire of recalling and pondering on seeing them. In the same way when repulsive forms appear, if he instantly gets angry on seeing them it pushes him into the grip of inner covetousness and he is overpowered by aversion. That is the reason the author has,
listed some selected unpleasant forms and advised to quickly control his 4 feelings on seeing them.
(3) Attitude of Ghranendriya Samvar-When a monk, who has completely abandoned covetousness (Parigraha), indulges in routine
activity, a variety of smells enter his nose. Many of these are from a ki variety of tasty foodstuff and many from other fragrant materials. When श्रु.२, पंचम अध्ययन : परिग्रहत्याग संवर
