________________ Śūtras 27-29) Path of Emancipation 12 (Aph.) Saṁlekhanā is scraping penance unto death. (XXVI) (Gloss) A layman engaged in the last stage of discipline (ärādhanā) scrapes, that is, emaciates his body by a graded course of penance that precedes his (final) fasting (unto death). (Note) The layman like the monk engages himself at the end of the pratimās in emaciating his passions and his body in preparation for fasting unto death, when the opportunity presents itself. Samlekhanā is a preparation that reaches its height in 'fast unto death', which is not courted under any passion or ill-will against self or anybody else. It is, therefore, not suicide in the usual sense of the term, which is committed under the impulses of attachment or aversion. २७. परिग्रहविसर्जन-प्रव्रज्या-भक्तपानप्रत्याख्यानविषये पर्यालोचनं महा FAITIÈDI 27. parigrahavisarjana-pravrajya-bhaktapānapratyākhyāna-Vişaye parya locanam mahānirjarāhetu. (Aph.) The condition of great falling off (of karman) is the contemplation on the renunciation of (all) possessions, acceptance of monkhood, and abstinence from food and drink. (XXVII) (Note) This contemplation pertains to the householder who cherishes these three ambitions for spiritual elevation. These ambitions are also conducive to a good social life that is bound to lead to the spiritual reform of the householder. २८. इन्द्रियमनोनिग्रहकारकमनुष्ठानं कर्मशरोरतापकत्वात् सम्यकतपः। एतत् कर्मशरीरतापकत्वादेव आत्मनो वैशद्यापादकं भवति । 28. indriyamanonigrahakārakam anuşthānaṁ karmaśariratäpakat vat şqmyaktapaḥ. etat karmaśarīratāpakatvād eva ātmano vaiếadyāpādakam bhavati. (Aph.) The right penance consists in the (spiritual) activity that subdues the senses and the mind, and is so called) because it heats up the karmic body (resulting in its melting away finally). (XXVIII) (Gloss) This (penance) becomes the purifier of soul on account of its heating up the karmic body, resulting finally in its melting (away). २६. अनशन-ऊनोदरिका-वृत्तिसंक्षेप- रसपरित्याग- कायक्लेश-प्रतिसंलीनता at1 एते षट् मोक्षसाधने बहिरंगत्वाद् बाह्यं तपः।। 29. anasana-ūnodarikā.vsttisaṁkşepa-rasaparityāga-kāyakleśa-pratisar linatā bāhyam.
