Therefore the meaning is: even when there is doubt about having fallen from prosperity. 'Vihṛtam' means especially brought together, united from here and there. 'Because sins are intertwined, that which is intertwined is destructive; / because wealth is not intertwined, intertwining is not destructive \[of sin\]. / For a similar thing can destroy only its like. / Therefore, because wealth whose destruction has arrived is stronger, / \[recitation\] bolstered by desire cannot bring about the destruction of sin. / What is intertwined would cause destruction, for there is indeed no desire for the loss of wealth' / —thus in the Svādhyāyatattva. - [Previous: 11\_58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.dvaita.sarvamula.karmanirnaya~en-mt.11_58) - [Next: 11\_60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.dvaita.sarvamula.karmanirnaya~en-mt.11_60) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.dvaita.sarvamula.karmanirnaya~en-mt.11_59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.dvaita.sarvamula.karmanirnaya~en-mt.11_59) · Pramāṇa
