pralāpā lingināmapi 11211 1119411 Meaning : Are the incoherent speeches of the pseudo-monks, which are distorted and scatter the dust in the form of wrong statements made on account of their being possessed by a devil in the form of possession, not heard ? (1) (194)
Notes : faiši means a monk in name only as he attaches great importance to external signs indicative of his being a monk of a particular sect or section.
Let go ordinary people, but the monks, who are not the ideal monks but pseudo-monks get possessed by the lust of possession in the form of sectarian signs etc. and make, when they are so possessed, mischievous and wrong statements, going against the scriptural injunctions. Here the author throws a fling at the so called fanatic monks. Compare :
तपःश्रुतपरीवारां, शमसाम्राज्यसम्पदम् ।
