Inated by the wise as strong iron fetters to shackle one's

जलादिसंसर्गवशात्प्रभूत-
..दुर्गन्धधूताऽगरुदिव्यवासना ।
संघर्षणेनव विभाति सम्य-
ग्विधूयमाने सति बाह्यगन्धे ॥ २७३ ॥
 
273. The lovely odour of the Agaru (agalochum) which
is hidden by a powerful stench due to its contact with
water etc., manifests itself as soon as the foreign smell has
been fully removed by rubbing.
 
अन्तः श्रितानन्तदुरन्तवासना-
धूलीविलिप्ता परमात्मवासना ।
प्रज्ञातिसंघर्षणतो विशुद्धा
 
प्रतीयते. चन्दनगन्धवत् स्फुटम् ॥ २७४ ॥
274. Like the fragrance of the sandal-wood, the per-
fume of the Supreme Self, which is covered with the dust
of endless, violent impressions 2 imbedded in the mind,
when purified by the constant friction of Knowledge, is
(again) clearly perceived.
 
[1Sandal-wood-The Agaru of the previous sloka is meant.

2 Impressions-Väsand in Sanskrit means both odour and impression
or desire.]
 
अनात्मवासनाजालैस्तिरोभूतात्मवासना ।
नित्यात्मनिष्ठया तेषां नाशे भाति स्वयं स्फुटम् ॥ २७५ ॥ .
