Jñänasāra
Notes : daer, meaning essential knowledge, protects one from infatuation. The book iaait also saves the mind which is once cooled by it from being dried up by the fire of delusion or infatuation. ( 3 ) [263]
अचिन्त्या काऽपि साधूनां ज्ञानसारगरिष्ठता ।। गतिर्ययोर्ध्वमेव स्यादधःपातः कदाऽपि न ॥४॥ ॥२६४।

Meaning : The heaviness obtained by the monks on account of the ( possession of ) substance of knowledge is incomprehensible because thereby the movement will be upward and never downward. (4) [264)
Notes : A person who has got the weight should naturally speaking go down because he has become heavy. But in the case of the heaviness caused by the substantial knowledge, he will move up. It is wonderful. He will never go down. It means to be heavy by the burden of knowledge is self-elevating. It will never be the cause of one's fall. (4) (264)
