Chapter 4.3b - 膧sana (posture)
According to 驰辞驳补蝉奴迟谤补 of 笔补迟补帽箩补濒颈 腻蝉补苍补 is to take posture which is steady and not discomforting[1] . Haribhadras奴ri states that the 产补濒腻 诲峁涐梗峁璱 beholder, very obviously, does not crave for excessive worldly gains[2] . Even though he earns to fulfill his and his family鈥檚 primary worldly needs, he is not longing for obtainment of endless materialistic pleasures[3] . He is naturally devoid of such longings. Therefore, as Haribhadras奴ri says, the subject in question鈥檚 acts of taking postures turn steady as well as act are not discomforting[4] .
The Understanding:
Due to the powerful understanding the beholder of 产补濒腻 诲峁涐梗峁璱 has forsaken selfexperienced faulty mental-distresses[5] and attained complete involvement of mind in spiritual practices. Therefore, spiritual practices viz. going temple, bowing down etc.[6] are done by him without being hasty[7] . He likes to perform them at a proper pace[8] .
