Here 'rescue' stands for cure by medical treatment,' and 'succour' for relief from the disease.5 Some people do not neglect even the sick (and the disabled), but are incapable of giving any medical relief or of curing the disease. You are also not able enough to give medical treatment to them or cure their malady. 2.78 jānittu dukkham patteyam sāyam.
Understand the pleasure and pains as earned by oneself. Bhagyam Stra 78 The suffering by earning wealth or enjoying sensual objects is limited to the person himself. It attaches to the doer, and is not transferable to the persons for whom one exerts. Similarly, the pleasure is limited to the doer himself. Knowing this truth one should not be addicted to earning wealth and relishing sensual objects. 2.79. bhogāmeva aņusoyamti.
Some people think of their sensual objects alone. Bhāsyam Sutra 79 Some people realize that illness arises from relishing the sensual objects and medical treatment and cure ailments are impossible of being done by others and that pleasure and pain are confined to oneself. Even then they think about the ways of acquiring the objects of enjoyment. This is how delusion finds vent in them. 2.80 ihamegesim māņavāņam.
For some people wealth alone is the supreme end. Bhāsyam Sūtra 80 Some people are of the view that wealth (worldly prosperity) alone is the root of the human ends. For instance, according to Chanakya, religion and sensuality have wealth as its source. They earn wealth being instigated by such ideology. 2.81 tiviheņa jāvi se tattha mattā bhava- appă vă bahugā vā.
He amasses wealth in small or large quantity through the triple
effort of himself, others and both. Bhāsyam Sutra 81 Such person succeeds in acquiring wealth and property, small or large, in triple way: the effort of himself, of others or of both, or by the exertion of mind, speech and body. As a result, he becomes a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire
