Meaning Noble activity, if strengthened by constant reminiscences of the respectful attitude towards the meritorious and such other things does not allow the ideal attitude to disappear but on the contrary also awakens other noble sentiments. (5) [69]
Jñānasārā
Notes: Any good activity such as the remembrance of a respectful attitude shown in the past towards the deserving not only elevates the person who does it but it does more than this, meaning thereby that it produces holy sentiments which were previously non-existent in him. (5) [69]

Meaning The religious activity which is done, when the condition of partial suppression and partial destruction is prevalent, stimulates the growth of the good attitude of that person who has even taken a fall. (6) [70]
Notes: One, who has partially subdued and partially destroyed the wicked karmas can again put himself on the right path if he has lost it on account of some sort of remissness to which usually one is prone to so long as he has not come quite near to his goal. (6) [70]
