^324:1 Nissariyam = nihsaritam. I follow in the text the interpretation of the commentators. But I think that instead of mannamana we must read, as in the preceding verse, mannamanam; and translate: believing himself rich in control (vasimam) though he be still wanting in strength (nissariyam).

^324:2 Samahim.

^325:1 Susadhuyukta.

^325:2 Sammam tayam thirato na'bhigakkhe. I translate according to the commentators, as I am unable to understand the words in the text.

^327:1 Gotra, explained by mauna.

^327:2 Sankiggiya = sankyeta.

^327:3 Vibhagyavada. The saptabhanginaya or seven modes of assertion are intended by the expression in the text. See Bhandarkar, Report, 1883-84, p. 95.

^327:4 See above, <page 304>, note . The first and fourth kinds of speech are here intended.

^328:1 Samahi = samadhi.

FIFTEENTH LECTURE,

CALLED

THE YAMAKAS .

He whose soul is purified by meditating on those reflections is compared to a ship in water; like a ship reaching the shore he gets beyond misery. (5)

A wise man gets beyond it who knows the sins of this world; sinful acts are got rid of by him who does not undertake any new acts. (6)

He who does not undertake new acts does not acquire Karman, and he verily understands (Karman); understanding it he becomes a Great Hero , who is not born (again) and does not die. (7)

A Great Hero, who has no Karman, does not die.--As the wind extinguishes a light, (so he puts down) the lovely women in this world. (8)

Those men whom women do not seduce, value Moksha most; those men are free from bondage and do not desire life. (9)

Turning from worldly life, they reach the goal by pious acts; by their pious acts they are directed (towards Liberation), and they show the way to others. (10)

The preaching of the Law (has different effect) on different creatures; he who is rich in control, is. treated with honour , but does not care for it; he exerts himself, subdues his senses, is firm, and abstains from sexual intercourse. (i1)

(He should not yield to temptations as a pig which) is decoyed by wild rice, being proof against sins, and free from faults. Being free from faults he always
