“Blinded by desire do not look to their benefit or loss, while the wise men having antimony of contentment look to that."
“ This heart is strongly burning with the flame of desire, which cannot be extinguished without the water of contentment."
“ They, who have drunk the nectar of contentment, which removes the thirst of desire, have attained the means of enjoying the bliss of Nirvâna."
(9) Subhasita ratna sandoha by Amitagati, contains :-- रे जीवत्वं विमुंचक्षणरुचि चपला निन्द्रियार्थोपभोगा नेभिर्दुःखं नीतः किमिह भववनेऽत्यन्त रौद्रे हतात्मन् । । तृष्णां चेत्तेन तेभ्यो विरमति विमतेद्यापि पापात्मकेभ्यः संसारात्यन्त दुःखान्कथमपि न तदा मुग्ध मुक्ति प्रयासि ॥४१०॥
