Verse 108
धर्मामृतं सतृष्णः श्रवणाभ्यां पिबतु पाययेद्वान्यान् । ज्ञानध्यानपरो वा भवतूपवसन्नतन्द्रालुः ॥१०८ ॥
सामान्यार्थ - उपवास करने वाला व्यक्ति उत्कण्ठित होता हुआ धर्मरूपी अमृत को अपने कानों से स्वयं पीवे अथवा दूसरों को पिलावे और आलस्यरहित होता हुआ ज्ञान और ध्यान में तत्पर होवे।
The fasting householder should drink through his ears, with great enthusiasm, the nectar of dharma (i.e., listen to the Holy Scriptures), or give it to others to drink; conquering sloth, he should remain engaged in the study of the Holy Scriptures, and meditation.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Acārya Amrtacandra's Purusārthasiddhyupāya:
धर्मध्यानशक्तो वासरमतिवाह्य विहितसान्ध्यविधिः । शुचिसंस्तरे त्रियामां गमयेत्स्वाध्यायजितनिद्रः ॥ १५४ ॥ The day should be spent in virtuous contemplation, and the evening in performance of meditation (sāmāyika). Subjugating sleep through self-study, the night should be spent on a clean mat.
