57.16

Second, Muktaka (Zizhu), correlated with the Practice of Benefiting (hitacaryā). First, proceeding to seek in accordance with instruction. The country being named Renowned (Nāmaprasiddha) is because he can maintain pure precepts and manifest the fruits in the present world. Being on a river islet is because, if one maintains pure precepts, one is not carried away and drowned by the river of craving in saṃsāra, and also because the river of immeasurable blessings constantly flows into it. The youth Muktaka: because his three karmas have no error and his six sense faculties are free from faults, he attains sovereignty; thus precepts are the master. Because precepts are pure and undefiled, he is called a youth.
