रागम्हि य दोसम्हि य कसायकम्मेसु चेव जे भावा । हिंदु परिणमंतो रागादी बंधदे चेदा ॥ ४६ ॥
rāgamhi ya dosamhi ya kasāyakammesu ceva je bhāvā. tehim du parinamamto rāgādī bamdhade ceda..46
(Jaha phalihamaņi visuddho) Just as jewel is pure and colorless, (rāgamādīhim sayam ṇa pariṇamadi) and does never becomes tainted with red etc. (du so aṇṇehim rattādīhi davvehim ramgijjadi) but appears to assume red tints from other red objects.
(Evam ṇāṇī suddho) Similarly an enlightened sage is pure by itself (rāgamādīhim sayam na pariņamadi) and does not become transformed into attachment etc., (du so annehim rāgādīhi dosehim rāgijjadi) but appears to assume attachment etc. because of infection by alien objects.
(Ṇāṇī ṇa vi rāga-dosa-moham kasāyabhāvam vā sayam appano kuvvadi) An enlightened sage does not assimilate in itself-attachment, aversion, delusion or passions; (teņa so tesi bhāvāṇam kārago ṇa) that is why it does not become the producer (karta) of these dispositions.
(Ragamhi ya dosamhi ya kasāya-kammesu ceva je bhāvā tehim du parinamamto) [The unenlightened soul] determines its dispositions affected by the [rise and fruition of] attachment, aversion, passions and karma; (rāgādī puṇo vi baṁdhādi) [consequently] repeatedly undergoes bondage of attachment and the like.
(Ragamhi ya dosamhi ya kasāya-kammesu ceva je bhāvā tehim du parinamamto) [the rise and fruition of] attachment, aversion, passions and (dravya) karma produce dispositions of attachment etc. (cedā rāgādī bamdhade) and these dispositions produce the bondage [creating a vicious circle].
Annotations:
In these verses, the author emphasizes that the main obstacle in the path of self-realization is rāga which means affection, attachment, desire etc. He concludes that eradication of affection from conduct leads to self-realization.
Earlier, we had seen that there can be no bondage in the absence of bhāva karma. Desire, affection etc. create vicious
