"There is glue (as it were) in pleasure: those who are not given to pleasure, are not soiled by it; those who love pleasures, must wander about in the Samsâra; those who do not, will be liberated. (41)
"If you take two clods of clay, one wet, the other dry, and fling them against the wall, the wet one will stick to it. (42)
"Thus foolish men, who love pleasure, will be fastened (to Karman), but the passionless will not, even as the dry clod of clay (does not stick to the wall)." (43)
When Vigayaghôsha had learned the excellent Law from the houseless Gayaghôsha, he entered the order. (44)
Gayaghôsha and Vigayaghôsha both annihilated their Karman by self-control and penance, and reached the highest perfection. (45)
Thus I say.
