'उवेहमाणो', 'अजू' और 'माराभिसंकी' ये तीनों विशेषण अप्रमत्त एवं जागृत साधक के हैं जो शब्द आदि विषयों के प्रति उपेक्षा करता है, वही सरल आत्मा होता है और वही मृत्यु के प्रति सावधान है।
Elaboration-This paragraph advises a seeker to observe and ponder over the condition of a being tormented by various fears like old-age and death, their causes and consequences.
Here the commentator (Vritti) has raised a question-Gods are said to be non-aging and immortal, therefore they must be free of the stupor of fondness? The answer provided is-"Although gods are called non-aging, they too age. Because before the moment of descent their leshya (the colour-code indicator of purity of soul), power, happiness, aura, complexion, etc., start fading. In a way this is also a process of aging. They also die. They are also afflicted by sorrows like grief and fear. Therefore gods are also under the stupor of fondness or attachment.” (Vritti, leaf 140 )
Aure pane-beings engulfed in the unfathomable ocean of physical and mental miseries and perplexed thereby.
Mai-denotes the middle passion. But here it also includes the first two and last as well. Thus here it should be understood to include all the four passions-anger, conceit, illusion and greed.
Uvehamano, anju and marabhisamki-these three are adjectives used for alert and awakened seeker. Only he who ignores sound and other subjects of sense organs, has unblemished soul and is consciously alert of death.
११०. अप्पमत्तो कामेहिं उवरओ पावकम्मेहिं । वीरे आयगुत्ते जे खेयण्णे । जवजाय - सत्थस खेयण्णे से असत्थस्स खेयण्णे ।
जे असत्थस्स खेयणे से पज्जवजाय -सत्थस्स खेयण्णे ।
११०. जो क्षेत्रज्ञ है वह काम - भोगों के प्रति अप्रमत्त होता है। पापकारी प्रवृत्तियों से उपरत रहता है वह पुरुष वीर और आत्मगुप्त - आत्मा को सुरक्षित रखने वाला है।
