CHAPTER V
Animate-feelings (sanjná). इह जाहि बाहियावि य जीवा पाबंति दारुणं दुक्खं । सेवंतावि य उभये ताओ चत्तारि सरणाओ ॥ १३४॥ इन याभिर्वाधिता अपि च ज वाः प्राप्नुवन्ति दारुणं दुःखम् । सेवमाना अपिच उभयस्मिन् ताशतस्त्रः संज्ञा ।। १३४॥
134. (Desires), troubled by which (mundane) souls experience severe pain in this world, and (which) even when enjoyed, (cause trouble) in both (the worlds) are four / animate-feelings (Sanjná).
Commentary. 1. Food (Áhára), 2. Fear (Bhaya), 3. Coition (Maithuna), and 4. Attachment (Parigraha), are called the four animate-feelings. They characterize all mundane souls. They are destroyed by following the Right Path. Even one-sensed souls are affected by the above feelings. Recent scientific discoveries have demonstrated this fact in case of plants.
आहारदसणेण य तस्सुबजोगेण ओमकोठाए । सादिदरुतीरणाए हवदि ह आहारलण्णा हु॥ १३५॥ आहारदशनेन च तस्योपयोगेन अवमकोष्ठेन । सानेतरोदीरणया भवति हि अाहारसंज्ञा हि ॥ १३५ ॥
135. The animate feeling for food is aroused by (external causes such as) sight of (delicious) food, attention to it (through rememberance, or on account of hearing stories relating to food), (and) an empty stomach ; (as also) by the premature operation (udírná) of Pain-feeling (Asátá-vedaniya) karma, (an internal cause).
अइभीमदंसणेण य तस्सुबजोगेण ओमसत्तीए । भयकम्मुदीरणाए भयसरणा जायदे चदुहिं ॥ १३६ ॥ अतिभीमदर्शनेन च तस्योपयोगेन अवमसत्त्वेन । भयकर्मोदीरणया भयसंज्ञा जायते चतुर्भिः ॥ १३६ ॥
