sarvasmād viratiḥ pāpād duhkhasyānto nirucyate |26,19|
18 He who delights not in what is tangible, who is at peace, who casts off every passion; he who is like unto this puts an end to suffering.
19. From the source (ignorance) springs the commission (of sins); from the commission springs the binding (to their consequences); from the binding springs that which is not to be removed (transmigration); from that which is not to be removed springs going and coming; from going and coming springs suffering another death; from having to suffer another death springs another birth, and old age, disease, death, sorrow, misery, affliction, unhappiness, disagreeabilities are created; and in this manner does one bring on oneself a great amount of suffering?
20. There being no source (ignorance), there is no commission; there being no commission (of sins), there is no binding to (their consequences); there being no binding, there is not that which is not to be removed; there not being that which is not to be removed, there is no going and coming; there being no going and coming, there is no suffering another death; there beingx suffering another death, there is not another birth, and old age, disease, death, sorrow, misery, affliction, unhappiness, disagreeabilities are stopped; and in this way one puts an end to a great amount of suffering.
