गृहमध्यनिखातेन … वयम् ॥१४९॥

Answer 14

गृहमध्यनिखातेन … वयम् ॥१४९॥
FOR THE SENSE OF THIS COUPLET, SEE B&K’S NOTE @ ‘II+III.P.81 - OSTENSIBLY (AND MISTAKENLY) REFERENCING THE PRECEDING COUPLET (148) ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE. THE IDEA IS THIS:
“If the rich (are rich) by virtue of wealth buried in the middle of their houses, then let us be (i.e. consider ourselves) rich with that very same wealth.” IN OTHER WORDS, NEITHER WE NOR THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS ACTUALLY EVER USE THIS BURIED WEALTH, SO WE MIGHT AS WELL CONSIDER OURSELVES RICH NO LESS THAN THEY DO FOR ALL IT MATTERS WHEN STORED UP WEALTH IS NEVER USED BUT ONLY HOARDED.

AS B+K NOTE: अक्षाणि = ‘the senses in general and not just the eyes’ AND निरोधः = ‘restraint’
THE SENSE OF THE COUPLET IS:
“By virtue of the restraint of the mind, the eyes/senses are restrained as well - (just as) when the sun is covered by clouds, its rays will be (would be) covered (as well).”

QUOTABLE:
वाञ्छाविच्छेदनं प्राहुः स्वास्थ्यं शान्ता महर्षयः ।
वाञ्छा निवर्तते नार्थैः पिपासेवाग्निसेवनैः ॥१५५॥
THE SENSE OF THE COUPLET IS:
“Great rishis who are at peace have proclaimed that the uprooting (“CUTTING-OUT”) of desire (वाञ्छाविच्छेदनं = वाञ्छा + विच्छेदनं) is the good-and-proper state. Desire is not extinguished by wealth just as thirst is not extinguished by fire worship.”
\
CONTRAST शान्ताः HERE WITH श्रान्तः ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE @ ‘II+III. P.33.1 - BUT NOTE THAT
श्रान्त mfn. TOO, ALTHOUGH IT NORMALLY MEANS ‘tired, exhausted, fatigued, wearied’ (AS ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE @ ‘II+III. P.33.1) CAN ALSO MEAN, AS HERE, ‘calmed, tranquil’ (equals शान्त śānta-)
\

धर्मार्थं यस्य वित्तेहा तस्यापि न शुभावहा ।
प्रक्षालनाद्धि पङ्कस्य दूरादस्पर्शनं वरम् ॥१५७॥

Answer 22

QUOTABLE:
धर्मार्थं यस्य वित्तेहा तस्यापि न शुभावहा ।
प्रक्षालनाद्धि पङ्कस्य दूरादस्पर्शनं वरम् ॥१५७॥
THE SENSE OF THE COUPLET DEPENDS ON UNDERSTANDING धर्मार्थं AS ‘(the desire to acquire wealth) for noble/lawful/charitable purposes’, SO THE IDEA IS:
“Of whom there is a desire for wealth for dharmic purposes, (this desire is) not a bringer of good/glory for him. For never touching mud is far better than washing it off (afterwards).” SO IT IS BETTER TO STAY AWAY FROM WEALTH ALTOGETHER
