Bhagyam Sutra 120
Having renounced the world and subjugating the secretory centres, that is, the objects of the senses, viz., sound and the like, the great monk, having restrained attachment and hatred, becomes free from action. In other words, he becomes engrossed in meditation or becomes free from the knowledge-covering karma and is able to know and intuit the secretory centre.
5.121 padilehāe nävakamkhati, iha ägarim gatim pariņņāya.
Comprehending by means of investigating the cycle of birth and death that revolves due to attachment to the sensual objects, the self-engrossed person does not hanker after it. Bhagyam Sutra 121
The sensual objects owing to the ambitions of the person become the causes of his passion of attachment and hatred. In the absence of the ambitions, those objects become merely knowable things. They do not produce any evil disposition. One should comprehend that the worldly coming and going, that is, the cycle of birth and death takes place only in a person overpowered by attachment and hatred. A person renouncing the world with such comprehension does not hanker after those secretory centres, that is, he is not tempted by those currents. 10.
5.122 accei jāi-maraṇassa vattamaggam vakkhāya-rae.
A monk, engaged in the study of the lore and its meaning, transcends the cyclic path of birth and death. Bhagyam Sūtra 122
Lore' stands for the scripture both as text and meaning. A monk, engaged in the scripture, crosses the cyclic path of life and death.
(The state of soul which has crossed the cyclic path is now described).
5.123 savve sarā niyattamti.. All sound recoil thence. 5.124 takkā jattha na vijjai.
