________________
Bhāsyam Sūtra 68
People, overwhelmed by attachment and aversion, are stupefied for the sake of present life and fame, honour and self-glorification (see 1.21). But some people are found negligent on account of intolerance, even after adopting the life of renunciation.
3.69 sahie dukkhamattãe puttho no jhamjhāe.
The tolerant aspirant being touched by suffering should not get agitated.
Bhāsyam Sütra 69
The tolerant monk touched by panges of suffeing, that is, tortured by the afflictions of twins like cold (favourable conditions) and heat (unfavourable conditions) should not get disturbed or agitated in mind, unlike (a tree) tossed by storm. The storm of attachment is raised due to affliction caused by cold (and the like) and the storm of aversion on account of heat (and the like). Avoiding both these types of agitation, one should make himself tenacious in equanimity.
3.70
pāsimam davie loyaloya-pavamcão muccai.-tti bemi.
The competent monk of right vision is liberated from the apparent maze of the world and the non-world. Thus do I say.

Bhāṣyam Sutra 70
The
person who has developed the insight to tolerating the afflictions of (twins like) cold and heat is a man of insight21 and worthy of respect due to his being unmoved by attachment and aversion. He is capable of being freed from the labyrinth of this world and the world hereafter.22 Here 'world' means the visible world and 'non-world' means the invisible world or the apparent world. The 'labyrinth stands for the snare of bondage. The person worthy of respect is freed from the entanglement of the visible worldly relations and the invisible karmic bondage.
