अध्याय-९
Those which are endured so as not to swerve from the path and for the sake of dissociation (nirjarā) of karmas are the afflictions (parīsaha).
As stoppage is the subject under consideration, the path is qualified by stoppage – the path of stoppage (samvara). The afflictions (parīsaha) are to be endured so as not to swerve from the path of stoppage (samvara) of karmas and for the dissociation (nirjarā) of karmas. Those who endure hunger ( ksudhā), thirst (pipāsā), etc., do not swerve from the path taught by Lord Jina, and block the influx (āsrava) of karmas by practising the path aright. They also experience the fruits of maturing karmas, destroy these progressively and attain liberation. The afflictions (pariṣaha) are described in the next sūtra.
