Sbg 14.8 etassa

English Translation of Abhinavgupta's Sanskrit Commentary By Dr. S. Sankaranarayan 14.6-8 Tatra etc. upto Bharata. The Sattva is dirtless. [Source of craving-attachment] : that from which the attachment of craving springs up. Negligence : wasting the human birth which is difficult to get, but got by means of hundreds of merits accumulated for a very long period, and which is the sole means for attaining emancipation. That has been also said-

'Not even a single moment of life is gained by  (spending] all the gems.  [Hence],  he, who wastes it, is a man of negligence and is the lowest of men'.

Laziness : i.e., in doing good deeds. Sleep : being poor totally i.e. a contemptible course.
