Sutra:
86. ma: engai SvarUpanAsam; nama: engai SvarUpOjjeevanam.
Meaning:
Associating with ahankAram and mamakAram leads to destruction
of one's SvarUpam. Being without them leads to restoration of
SvarUpam.
Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
For the three virOdhis shown before, it is ahankAram (I) and
mamakAram (mine) that are the source. Therefore, the danger
of their presence and the goodness that comes about with
their removal are shown.
Within ma: both ahankAram and mamakAram are present. The pride about one's self is ahankAra and the pride that one has in their possessions is mamakAra. They both lead to the destruction of one's SvarUpa. Not being attached to these leads to the revival of the SvarUpa and therefore nama: is equivalent to SvarUpa ujjIvana.
