Jõānasāra
Meaning : Who are not begged after by those who still have desires, with both hands folded ? The whole world is just like a blade of grass to him who has no desires and who is the receptacle of infinite knowledge. (2) [90]
Notes : 3781 means that which has no alat (quantity or measure), that is to say, measureless. Compare :
नैष्कर्येण न तस्यार्थोः न तस्यार्थस्य कर्मभिः। न समाधानजाप्याभ्यां, यस्य निर्वासनं मनः ||
To be completely stripped of desires should be the highest goal. Mark the alliteration of a in 31417 with 5 in 919. Faa means desireous. (2) [90]
छिन्दन्ति ज्ञानदात्रेण स्पृहाविषलतां बुधाः । मुखशा च मूछौं च दैन्यं यच्छति यत्फलम् ॥३॥ ॥९१॥

Meaning : The spiritually intelligent or wise people cut asunder with the scythe of knowledge the poisonous creeper of desire the results of which are the drying of the mouth, swoon and wretchedness. (3) [91]
Notes: True knowledge is the only weapon that can extirpate the desires from their very roots. Teis is a selinger compound meaning "the result of which." (3) [91]
