Bhāśyam Sutra 71 Now, instruction is being given for the path of freedom from the labyrinth of the visible and the invisible worlds. The monk who is tolerant of the affliction of (the twins like) cold and heat is spiritually freed due to his being free from the passions. The passions are four viz., anger, pride, deceit and greed. Of these, the anger is the mentality due to physical attack and like. Pride is the mentality due to self-exaltation. Deceit is the mentality of cheating. Greed is the mentality arising due to hankering and possessiveness. The aspirant desirous of emancipation purges' all these four kinds of passions. The implication is that he calms down or uproots these passions. 3.72 eyam pāsagassa damsaņam uvarayasatthassa
paliyamtakarassa.
