The translator’s English as printed (K. T. Telang). The original-language text is not held; names are romanised as the translator printed them.
1 Revolves in the midst of,=lives upon, is fed by, Nîlakaṇṭha.
2 I.e. the organs of action, I presume.
8 The more attachments one has, the more one is tied down to worldly life, and the more comprehensive such life becomes.
4 Avarice is coveting another’s wealth when one has one’s own; desire is the wish for that which one has not.
5 Nîlakaṇṭha reads ‘ vikitra,’ which he renders to mean diversified, as being made up of the three qualities, ignorance there being the same thing as Prakṛiti, which is probably a better sense altogether than that obtainable from Arguna Misra’s reading.
6 Which moves by attachment to external pleasures, &c., Nîlakaṇṭha. See p. 300 supra.
7 L.e. all the world developed from Prakriti—a common phrase.
8 This is Nîlakaṇṭha’s forced meaning. But the text here is doubtful. Perhaps the sense is ‘in which production and dissolution are going on unchecked.’
9 Seep. 344 note. For the last word, the variant here is sthapayet, make steady or stop.
1 "Revolves in the midst of" means "lives upon, is fed by," according to Nîlakaṇṭha.
2 I.e. the organs of action, I presume.
8 The more attachments a person has, the more firmly they are bound to worldly life, and the more all-encompassing that life becomes.
4 Avarice is craving someone else's wealth when you already have your own; desire is the longing for what you do not have.
5 Nîlakaṇṭha reads 'vikitra,' which he takes to mean diversified, in the sense of being composed of the three qualities, ignorance here being equivalent to Prakṛiti — a reading that is probably better on the whole than the sense obtainable from Arjuna Misra's reading.
6 Which moves by attachment to external pleasures, &c., Nîlakaṇṭha. See p. 300 supra.
7 That is, the whole world evolved from Prakriti—a common phrase.
8 This is Nīlakaṇṭha's forced meaning. But the text here is doubtful. Perhaps the sense is 'in which production and dissolution are going on unchecked.'
9 See p. 344 note. For the last word, the variant here is sthapayet, make steady or stop.
