Bhāṣyam Sutra 11
Having comprehended this inner self,' the wise should not live attached to the sensum and the greed which is the source of passions. The idea that the right perception of the inner self is possible only, or the human life lends support to the state of wakefulness.
2.12 vayo accei jovvaṇam va
Bhāsyam Sūtra 12
Life and youth are running out. They are running after old age and death. The individual is dying every moment continuously without halt. Youth also is fading away every moment. It is life-span and youth that make the practice of discipline possible. The decrepit body that decays due to old age is not capable of following the discipline. This idea is the pivot of wakefulness.
2.13
jīvie iha je pamattä.
2.14
se hamtā chetta bhettä lumpittä vilumpittā uddavittä uttāsaittā. akadam karissamitti maṇṇamāṇe.
2.15
Age and youth are fading away.
Bhāśyam Sūtra 13-15
Those who are not wakeful in their lives, that is, indulge in senses and greed, the source of passions, are the people who commit injury to life.
(13-15) Those who are non-vigilant in this life indulge in injuring, cutting, piercing, beating, massacring, killing and terrorising, thinking that they will do something extraordinary not yet done by others.
Gratified with the sense and greed, one engages himself in injuring, cutting, striking, destroying, massacring and terrorising.
In this concluding Sūtra the mental proclivity for earning wealth and power is shown. "I shall achieve what has never been achieved by others," with such belief in mind, a person sets about accumulating wealth, power and position. It is a self-actualisation motive, to use a psychological term.8
2.17
2.16 jehim vā saddhim samvasati te va nam egaya niyaga tam puvvim posemti, so vāte niyage pacchā posejjā.
nālam te tava tāṇāe vā, saraṇāe va tumampi tesim nālam tānāe vā, saraṇāe vā.
