SAMAYASĀRA
को नाम भणेद् बुद्धः परद्रव्यं ममेदं भवति द्रव्यम् ।
आत्मानमात्मनः परिग्रहं तु नियतं विनानन् ।।२०७॥ 207. How can the wise man who realises that the Self alone is the property of the Self, really maintain these alien objects, such as his body, as genuinely his own property ?
COMMENTARY Even an ignoramus cannot make the mistake of identifying his self with the external objects. Thus it is quite obvious that a wise man can never make such a mistake. He will always be able to discern the difference between his Self and non-Self.
मज्झं परिग्गहो जइ तदो अहमजीवदं तु गच्छेज्ज ।
णादेव अहं जम्हा तम्हा ण परिग्गहो मज्झ ।।२०८॥ majjham pariggaho jai tado ahamajīvadom tu gacchejja ņādeva aham jamha tamhā ņa pariggaho majjha (208)
मम परिग्रहो यदि ततोऽहमजीवतां तु गच्छेयं ।
ज्ञातैवाहं यस्मात्तस्मान्न परिग्रहो मम ॥२०८॥ 208. External things owned by me, if they are absolutely of my nature, then I must become non-living (like them). Because I am a Knowing Self, therefore the objects possessed by me are not of my nature.
छिज्जदु वा भिज्जदु वा णिज्जदु वा अहव जादु विप्पलयं ।
जम्हा तम्हा गच्छदु तहावि ण परिग्गहो मज्झ ॥२०६।। chijjadu vā bhijjadu vă nijjadu vā ahava jādu vippalayam jamhā tamhā gacchadu tahāvi na pariggaho majjha (209)
छिद्यतां वा भिद्यतां वा नीयतां वा अथवा यातु विप्रलयम् ।
यस्मातस्माद् गच्छतु तथापि न परिग्रहो मम ॥२०९॥ 209. It may be cut, it may be split, it may be dragged or it may be destroyed, whatever manner of deformity it undergoes even then it (the body or any other external object) does not cancern me as it is not really mine.
