he has attained the highest state

he's like a whirling wheel

effecting Body City

though never stuck* in it

.

* Attached. The root >lip suggests both psychological attachment and stickiness,

more like a sticky note than Krazy Glue.

~vwv. ... is behaving like the revolution of a wheel (which continues to rotate even after the impelling force is no longer acting).

~sv. Rama, he who treads the superior path, though he dwells in this body which functions as the potter's wheel does by past momentum, is untainted by the actions that might be performed.

~m.6 The body-hairs are the creepers and sprouts of the city. Skin is the garland winding (around the city). The city is full of pillars of thighs supported by the ankles and feet.

~vlm.6. The hairs on the body are as the moss and grass on the walls, and the porous skin resembles the netted covering of the palace; the thighs and legs are as the columns of the edifice, and the feet with the ancles||should be ankles?|| and toes, are as pedestals of the pillars.

~m.7 This body-city is beautiful with intersections and joints between the arteries and veins (under the skin).

~vlm.7. The lines marked under the soles of the feet, are as inscriptions marked on the foundation stone, and upon those at the base of the pedestals of the pillars; and the outer skin which covers the flesh, marrow, veins and arteries, and the joints of the body, is as the beautiful plaster of the building, hiding the mortar and bricks inside.

~m.20 When a jnani rides this and moves around the world, it is indeed a chariot giving infinite pleasures and liberation.

~sv.21 Since it is through the body that the wise man derives the different sense-experiences and gains the friendship and affection of others, to him it is a source of gain.

~m.21 From this one has the facility for feeling form, smell, touch, taste and hear. These are available to one always without respite. And so a jnani is benefited.

~AS. The AB commentary explains avaTa-ATopa as the Kama - one who takes pride in the avaTa - vagina! Also, the mind itself is compared to a wild horse. He does not drive it rashly into the holes of desires. The second line has a more exotic meaning. He does not give away his daughter called intelligence for a dowry of a poisonous tree - or perhaps its fruit known as avarice. In other words, he does not exchange his intelligence for greed!

~m.24. A 'jnāni' does not throw the wild horse of mind into the abyss of intelligence to the poisonous tree of avarice and greed.

~vlm.24. He is not addicted to licentiousness like a high mettled steed; nor parts with the auspicious daughter of his prudence, from his avarice after some poisonous plant.

~vlm.32. As the air contained in a pot, is not felt by the touch like the pot itself, so is the living soul, which resides in the city of the body.

~sv.31-39 The embodied being comes lightly into contact with the body while it lasts but is untouched by it once it is gone, even as air touches a pot which exists, but not one that does not exist.

In other words, he partakes of enjoyment at will - but with a pure mind; so he stays pure afterwards!

of doing him any injury. (The baneful effects of worldliness,

do not affect the wise).

~sv.40 Just as the most deadly poison which was drunk by lord Siva did not harm him but enhanced his charm, the varied actions and enjoyments of an enlightened person do not bind him to the cycle of birth and death.

~AS. The mind, which is overcome by desires of sense objects (viSaya-vidrutam ) and hence abandons blissful pleasure of the soul (saumyam svAtma-sukham tyajat ) should be controlled (vazam nayet ) by thinking (vicAreNa) as an elephant is controlled by the driver's hook.

*VA. mind, purified so, later becomes honorable in its infiniteness, like grain in heat of summer become full with nectar.

~AS. One who is disciplined by beating, but later has been given respect and freedom feels honor indefinitely. Crops which are tormented with heat feel even a little rain (kuseka: api) like elixir. The AB commentary interprets it as a justification for the harsh treatment of the mind against a possible argument that a harshly controlled mind may not like anything - even the happiness of the soul! It seems to indeed justify harsh treatment by claiming that the moment you stop, you feel infinite pleasure. This reminds me of a science fiction story which described a planet which practiced the use of torture and pain as a sure way to peace and happiness!!! They would not accept any foreign people, until they agreed to undergo severe torture and until they came to believe in the necessity and benefits of the resulting fortitude. They felt that the happiness that comes after the pain stops is far more valuable than the one which comes easily. Or we may remember the usual saying : no pain, no gain!

~m.55 A perfect being too desires others who are ordinary. An ocean that can fill a world too does not stop receiving waters from other rivers.

~vlm.55. The mind that is naturally greedy, wishes for more with all its fulness; as the sea with the sufficiency of its water to overflood the earth, receives the rain waters and the outpourings of innumerable rivers in its insatiate womb. (The greedy mind like the insatiate sea, is never full.

~sv.51..56 Only the mind that has been well disciplined really experiences happiness.

*VA. common man, desiring to become satisfied with other objects of the world is like ocean wishing to be satisfied by grasping water.

~AS. This is continuing to develop the theme that trying to satisfy the mind by feeding what it needs is not going to lead to satisfaction, but starving would lead to satisfaction with even a little. One who has everything (pUrNastu) still desires something else; as an ocean big enough to fill the whole world still keeps on receiving more water. Happiness for the ignorant comes from always trying to acquire more than one has - the desire for the so-called growth and progress!

*VA. restrained mind can later enjoy fully, - what has been obtained with difficulty, causes much joy.

~AS. A mind that is restricted feels even a little enjoyment obtained later (yA pazcAd bhogamaNDanA, tAm alabdhavistArAm) as a lot because of the difficulty in obtaining it.
The next verse makes this clearer. A king who was imprisoned and released is happy to even get a little - even a blade of grass; but one who has not been attacked or imprisoned is not satisfied by the whole kingdom.

~m.58 Somehow one should overwhelm the senses whether by twisting one hand by the other, pounding teeth against teeth and thus setting one limb against another.

~vlm.58. With the writhing of your hands and gnashing of your teeth, and twisting of your limbs and body; you must chastise your reprobate members and mind. (So is Plato said to have chastised his angry self).

~sv.58-59-60-61 Hence, the wise man grinds his teeth and strives to conquer his mind and senses: such conquest is far greater than conquest of external foes.

but, for the knowing, it is a treasure-house of boundless delight.

He does not drive it rashly into the holes of desires. The second line has a more exotic meaning. He does not give away his daughter called intelligence for a dowry of a poisonous tree - or perhaps its fruit known as avarice. In other words, he does not exchange his intelligence for greed!

*m.25 A jnani does not look at the foreign territory of ignorance. He uproots the enemy of fear of this world.

*vlm.25. The ignorant can see the cities of others, but not observe the gaps and breaks of their own. It is better to root out the fears of our worldly enemies (passions) from the heart, than lire under their subjection.

*sv.24..30 The intelligence that governs the wise man's body is not drawn out by the excitement which the ignorant call pleasure, but it rests within in a state of contemplation.

*m.28 A 'jnani' resides in delight and happiness in his palace called 'dhyana', setting his face against all that looks happy with its phenomenal attractiveness.

*VA. always seeing what is unseen to men, facing only happiness, called dhyana, (wise one) stays inside the city (of his body).

*VA. he stays with two ladies by his sides - truthfulness and unity, like moon with two stars, being always in the same cool mind disposition.

*AS. I agree with the first line. The last word should means ones (the two) with happy minds - samAhlAdita-cetasI. The phrase vizAkhe dve is a little problematic. There is a star named vizAkhA, but I don't know two such! But the verse is probably making an enhanced image by imagining two copies of one star!

#vizAkhA -f.- (also du. or pl.) the 14th (later 16th) lunar mansion or asterism (containing four or originally two stars under the regency of a dual divinity, indra इन्द्र and agni अग्नि) • it recalls the Pleiades, which are said to be seven, although only six stars are visible at the present time.)

*vlm.40. The worldly enjoyments of the wise, do not tend to vitiate

their nature; as the poisonous draught of Siva, was not capable

of doing him any injury. (The baneful effects of worldliness,

do not affect the wise).

*sv.40 Just as the most deadly poison which was drunk by lord Siva did not harm him but enhanced his charm, the varied actions and enjoyments of an enlightened person do not bind him to the cycle of birth and death.

The AB commentary interprets it as a justification for the harsh treatment of the mind against a possible argument that a harshly controlled mind may not like anything - even the happiness of the soul! It seems to indeed justify harsh treatment by claiming that the moment you stop, you feel infinite pleasure. This reminds me of a science fiction story which described a planet which practiced the use of torture and pain as a sure way to peace and happiness!!! They would not accept any foreign people, until they agreed to undergo severe torture and until they came to believe in the necessity and benefits of the resulting fortitude. They felt that the happiness that comes after the pain stops is far more valuable than the one which comes easily. Or we may remember the usual saying : no pain, no gain!
*vlm.53. The well governed mind, being once let loose, recurs like a spoiled boy to its former habits; as the tree withered in summer heat, grows luxuriant at a slight rain-fall.

*m.54. For one that is not in distress, any honor will not mean a reward. To a river that is full, rain waters cannot add much.

*vlm.54. That which is full out of its time, does not become fuller in its season; as the river which is ever full, receives no addition in the rains over its fulness. (The full never becomes fuller).

*sv. Only the mind that has been well disciplined really experiences happiness.

*m.55 A perfect being too desires others who are ordinary. An ocean that can fill a world too does not stop receiving waters from other rivers.

*vlm.55. The mind that is naturally greedy, wishes for more with all its fulness; as the sea with the sufficiency of its water to overflood the earth, receives the rain waters and the outpourings of innumerable rivers in its insatiate womb. (The greedy mind like the insatiate sea, is never full.

*sv. Only the mind that has been well disciplined really experiences happiness.

*VA. common man, desiring to become satisfied with other objects of the world is like ocean wishing to be satisfied by grasping water.

*AS. This is continuing to develop the theme that trying to satisfy the mind by feeding what it needs is not going to lead to satisfaction, but starving would lead to satisfaction with even a little. One who has everything (pUrNastu) still desires something else; as an ocean big enough to fill the whole world still keeps on receiving more water. Happiness for the ignorant comes from always trying to acquire more than one has - the desire for the so-called growth and progress!

*m.56 A mind that is restrained greatly will keep musing in a big way about pleasures and the difficulty in getting them.

*vlm.56. The mind that is restrained in its desires, is gladdened at its little gains; and these being increased are reckoned as blessings by the stinted mind.

*sv. Only the mind that has been well disciplined really experiences happiness.

*VA. restrained mind can later enjoy fully, - what has been obtained with difficulty, causes much joy.

*AS. A mind that is restricted feels even a little enjoyment obtained later (yA pazcAd bhogamaNDanA, tAm alabdhavistArAm) as a lot because of the difficulty in obtaining it.


The next verse makes this clearer. A king who was imprisoned and released is happy to even get a little - even a blade of grass; but one who has not been attacked or imprisoned is not satisfied by the whole kingdom.

stickiness,

more like a sticky note than Krazy Glue.

rotate even after the impelling force is no longer acting).

*vlm.p.1. Vasishtha continued:—The man liberated in this life and settled
in the Supreme state of joy is not tarnished by reigning over the realm of
his body and turning about like a wheel.

*sv. Rama, he who treads the superior path, though he dwells in this body
which functions as the potter's wheel does by past momentum, is untainted
by the actions that might be performed.

*vlm.27. Men often bathe their outer bodies in holy streams, without
looking to the purification of their inward souls; and they shave their
persons at the confluence of rivers with the sea, in hopes of obtaining
their object. (Bathing in the sauger) (Sagora

sangama stána), is said to confer every object of desire).

*sv.24..30 The intelligence that governs the wise man's body is not drawn
out by the excitement which the ignorant call pleasure, but it rests within
in a state of contemplation.

Bathing at the confluence of spiritual and worldly rivers with his
perceptions directed both externally and internally, a jnani washes away
gradually all the desires and wishes.

*m.28 A 'jnani' resides in delight and happiness in his palace called
'dhyana', setting his face against all that looks happy with its phenomenal
attractiveness.

*vlm.28. All sensual people are averse to the unseen happiness of the next
world; and dwell on the pleasure of their own imagination in the inward
recesses of their minds.

*VA. always seeing what is unseen to men, facing only happiness, called
dhyana, (wise one) stays inside the city (of his body).

*AS. Turned away from pleasing visions (sukha*.*prekSA*.*parAGmukhaH)
desired by all people with eyes, he always stays in the inner sanctum
called meditation (dhyAnanAmni).

*sv.24..30 The intelligence that governs the wise man's body is not drawn
out by the excitement which the ignorant call pleasure, but it rests within
in a state of contemplation.

*m.29 For one who knows the self the city of body is full of happiness. It
yields pleasures and liberation. The city of body will be like Indra's
Capital 'Amaravati' for him.

*vlm.29. This city of the body is pleasant to one, acquainted with his
spiritual nature; because he deems it as the paradise of Indra, which is
filled with pleasurable fruits, as well as of those of immortality (or
future life and bliss).

*vwv.2403/29 This city is indeed producing happiness always for those who have
known the Self. This is also the giver of (both) enjoyment and liberation,
and is like the abode of the gods, Amarâvatî, to Indra, the Lord of the
gods.

*m.30. Why can't the city*.*which holds everything and whose loss will be

*vlm.30. All things depend on the existence of the city of the body, yet
nothing is lost by its loss since the mind is the seat of everything. These
bodily cities which fill the earth, cannot be unpleasant to any body.

*m.31. If the city of body is lost, the loss for a 'jnani' will be little.
What is lost for the space in a pot, if the pot is broken.?

*vlm.31. The wise man loses nothing by loss of the citadel of his body; as
the vacuity in a vessel is never lost, by the breaking of the vessel. (*Sa:
*the death of the body, does not destroy the vacuous soul).

pot is broken, there is not question of the air touching it. Similar is the
case with the embodied soul. The city of body will have no effect on it.

*vlm.32. As the air contained in a pot, is not felt by the touch like the
pot itself, so is the living soul, which resides in the city of the body.

*sv.31*.*39 The embodied being comes lightly into contact with the body
while it lasts but is untouched by it once it is gone, even as air touches
a pot which exists, but not one that does not exist.

enjoys the pleasures devised in the Universe. However he (jnani) attains
the Supreme.

worldly enjoyments, until at last it comes to partake of the felicity of
liberation, which is the main object it has in view.

mounts on a locomotive carriage for the place of its destination, and
passes in its unimpeded course to distant journeys.

pleasures in a sportive manner and ascends on to the flying machine of the
heart*.*lotus and wanders around.

*VA. sometimes, desirous of amusement, he (wise) mounts a chariot (of his
heart), and goes unbound (in his) mind enjoying pure pleasing (enjoyments)

dispassion and detachment shown by travellers when they come across new
places and villages on their way.

with and separation from the occurrences of life.

*AS. One who is disciplined by beating, but later has been given respect
and freedom feels honor indefinitely. Crops which are tormented with heat
feel even a little rain (kuseka: api) like elixir.

*AS. The AB commentary interprets it as a justification for the harsh
treatment of the mind against a possible argument that a harshly controlled
mind may not like anything *.* even the happiness of the soul! It seems to
indeed justify harsh treatment by claiming that the moment you stop, you
feel infinite pleasure. This reminds me of a science fiction story which
described a planet which practiced the use of torture and pain as a sure
way to peace and happiness!!! They would not accept any foreign people,
until they agreed to undergo severe torture and until they came to believe
in the necessity and benefits of the resulting fortitude. They felt that
the happiness that comes after the pain stops is far more valuable than the
one which comes easily. Or we may remember the usual saying : no pain, no
gain!
*vlm.53. The well governed mind, being once let loose, recurs like a
spoiled boy to its former habits; as the tree withered in summer heat,
grows luxuriant at a slight rain*.*fall.

earth, receives the rain waters and the outpourings of innumerable rivers
in its insatiate womb. (The greedy mind like the insatiate sea, is never
full.

*sv. Only the mind that has been well disciplined really experiences

*VA. common man, desiring to become satisfied with other objects of the
world is like ocean wishing to be satisfied by grasping water.

*AS. This is continuing to develop the theme that trying to satisfy the
mind by feeding what it needs is not going to lead to satisfaction, but
starving would lead to satisfaction with even a little. One who has
everything (pUrNastu) still desires something else; as an ocean big enough
to fill the whole world still keeps on receiving more water. Happiness for
the ignorant comes from always trying to acquire more than one has *.* the
desire for the so*.*called growth and progress!

*m.58 Somehow one should overwhelm the senses whether by twisting one hand
by the other, pounding teeth against teeth and thus setting one limb
against another.

*vlm.58. With the writhing of your hands and gnashing of your teeth, and
twisting of your limbs and body; you must chastise your reprobate members
and mind. (So is Plato said to have chastised his angry self).

*sv.58*.*59*.*60*.*61 Hence, the wise man grinds his teeth and strives to
conquer his mind and senses: such conquest is far greater than conquest of
external foes.

conquer the senses.

* Attached. The root >lip suggests both psychological attachment and stickiness,

more like a sticky note than Krazy Glue.

*vwv. ... is behaving like the revolution of a wheel (which continues to rotate even after the impelling force is no longer acting).

*vlm.p.1. Vasishtha continued:—The man liberated in this life and settled in the Supreme state of joy is not tarnished by reigning over the realm of his body and turning about like a wheel.

*sv. Rama, he who treads the superior path, though he dwells in this body which functions as the potter's wheel does by past momentum, is untainted by the actions that might be performed.

*vlm.p.2 The body of a wise man is like a princedom to him, calculated for his benefit and of no disadvantage. It is comparable to the dwelling of a holy hermit for the consummation of his efforts and liberation.

*vwv. For the knower of That (Reality), .. m. .. of truth, .. *vlm. The body of the wise man .. *sv. ..who treads the superior path ..

*m.43. Jnanis look at the worldly action and activity with the same dispassion and detachment shown by travellers when they come across new places and villages on their way.

*m.51 He brings under control a mind running towards sensuous objects, in preference to delight in self, through the instrument of inquiry into self like a mahout who brings his elephant under control with his elephant . goad.

*vlm.51. The unwiseman||unwise man|| becomes wise by relinquishing all the pleasures of his body, and subduing the emotions of his mind by his reason; as the rider subdues the ungovernable elephant by the goad (ankusa) in his hand.

*sv. Only the mind that has been well disciplined really experiences happiness.

*AS. The mind, which is overcome by desires of sense objects (viSaya.vidrutam ) and hence abandons blissful pleasure of the soul (saumyam svAtma.sukham tyajat ) should be controlled (vazam nayet ) by thinking (vicAreNa) as an elephant is controlled by the driver's hook.

*AS. One who is disciplined by beating, but later has been given respect and freedom feels honor indefinitely. Crops which are tormented with heat feel even a little rain (kuseka: api) like elixir.

*AS. The AB commentary interprets it as a justification for the harsh treatment of the mind against a possible argument that a harshly controlled mind may not like anything . even the happiness of the soul! It seems to indeed justify harsh treatment by claiming that the moment you stop, you feel infinite pleasure. This reminds me of a science fiction story which described a planet which practiced the use of torture and pain as a sure way to peace and happiness!!! They would not accept any foreign people, until they agreed to undergo severe torture and until they came to believe in the necessity and benefits of the resulting fortitude. They felt that the happiness that comes after the pain stops is far more valuable than the one which comes easily. Or we may remember the usual saying : no pain, no gain!
*vlm.53. The well governed mind, being once let loose, recurs like a spoiled boy to its former habits; as the tree withered in summer heat, grows luxuriant at a slight rain.fall.

*sv. Only the mind that has been well disciplined really experiences happiness.

*VA. common man, desiring to become satisfied with other objects of the world is like ocean wishing to be satisfied by grasping water.

*AS. This is continuing to develop the theme that trying to satisfy the mind by feeding what it needs is not going to lead to satisfaction, but starving would lead to satisfaction with even a little. One who has everything (pUrNastu) still desires something else; as an ocean big enough to fill the whole world still keeps on receiving more water. Happiness for the ignorant comes from always trying to acquire more than one has . the desire for the so.called growth and progress!

*m.58 Somehow one should overwhelm the senses whether by twisting one hand by the other, pounding teeth against teeth and thus setting one limb against another.

*vlm.58. With the writhing of your hands and gnashing of your teeth, and twisting of your limbs and body; you must chastise your reprobate members and mind. (So is Plato said to have chastised his angry self).

*sv.58.59.60.61 Hence, the wise man grinds his teeth and strives to conquer his mind and senses: such conquest is far greater than conquest of external foes.

*m.59. Wise people who want to conquer worldly ambitions should first conquer the senses.

*vlm.59. The brave and wise man, who intends to overcome his enemies; must first of all strive to subdue the internal enemies of his own heart and mind, and the members of his body. (Subdue yourself, ere you subdue others),

*vwv. ... is behaving like the revolution of a wheel (which continues to rotate even after the impelling force is no longer acting).

*vlm.p.1. Vasishtha continued:—The man liberated in this life and settled in the Supreme state of joy is not tarnished by reigning over the realm of his body and turning about like a wheel.

*sv. Rama, he who treads the superior path, though he dwells in this body which functions as the potter's wheel does by past momentum, is untainted by the actions that might be performed.

*vlm.21. The possession of the body, is of no disadvantage to the wise man; who can obtain by it, all the objects of his bearing and seeing, of his touch and smelling, and his friends and prosperity.

*sv.21 Since it is through the body that the wise man derives the different sense.experiences and gains the friendship and affection of others, to him it is a source of gain.

*m.21 From this one has the facility for feeling form, smell, touch, taste and hear. These are available to one always without respite. And so a jnani is benefited.

*AS. The AB commentary explains avaTa_ATopa as the Kama . one who takes pride in the avaTa . vagina! Also, the mind itself is compared to a wild horse. He does not drive it rashly into the holes of desires. The second line has a more exotic meaning. He does not give away his daughter called intelligence for a dowry of a poisonous tree . or perhaps its fruit known as avarice. In other words, he does not exchange his intelligence for greed!

*m.24. A 'jnāni' does not throw the wild horse of mind into the abyss of intelligence to the poisonous tree of avarice and greed.

*AS. The foreign nation of ignorance does not penetrate his defenses . does not see holes in his defenses; i.e. ignorance does not penetrate him! the second line is OK, except I would suggest: he cuts out the roots of the fears of the enemy called samsara. the world.

*m.25 A jnani does not look at the foreign territory of ignorance. He uproots the enemy of fear of this world.

*vlm.25. The ignorant can see the cities of others, but not observe the gaps and breaks of their own. It is better to root out the fears of our worldly enemies (passions) from the heart, than lire under their subjection.

*sv.24..30 The intelligence that governs the wise man's body is not drawn out by the excitement which the ignorant call pleasure, but it rests within in a state of contemplation.
