Translation
Having created attachment in all objects such as the body, the mind binds a person like an animal tethered to a post by a rope. Later this selfsame mind creates strong distaste – like towards poison – towards the world of objects and releases the person from bondage.
Annotation
‘Body etc’ includes sense objects, relatives etc (Jagadguru). The word ‘paśu’ is significantly used. It is derived from the root paśa, in the sense of binding. All beings are bound and hence called paśu. The word ‘guṇa’ has two meanings – a rope and a guṇa such as sattva etc. These guṇa–s are known to bind a person.
