supreme ascetics rid themselves of all attachment to possessions (parigraha) in the first place. The destruction of internal restraint, i.e., of pure-cognition (śuddhopayoga), is same as the attachment to possessions (parigraha). Both cause the breach of restraint.

The ascetic (muni, śramana) who has not set himself completely free of attachment to possessions (parigraha) cannot have purity of mind and without purity in his dispositions, how can he get rid of all karmas?
Explanatory Note: Even minuscule attachment to possessions (parigraha) must cause breach of internal restraint, i.e., of purecognition (śuddhopayoga). Breach of pure-cognition (śuddho
