अथासत्सङ्गदोषाः ।
असद्भिः सह सङ्गस्तु न कर्तव्यः कदाचन ।
यस्मात्सर्वार्थहानिः स्यादधःपातश्च जायते ॥
athāsat-saṅga-doṣāḥ |
asadbhiḥ saha saṅgas tu na kartavyaḥ kadācana |
yasmāt sarvārtha-hāniḥ syād adhaḥpātaś ca jāyate ||
(Hari-bhakti-vilāsa: 10.294)
“Now, the faults of asat-saṅga [are described]: Saṅga with the asat, as a result of which the loss of all objects shall occur and downfall ensues, is not to be done at any time.”
Commentary
evaṁ sat-saṅga-sevanam upapādya tasyaiva dārḍhyāyāsat-saṅga-varjanaṁ likhati—asadbhir iti | sarveṣām aihikānām āmuṣmikāṇāñ ca arthānāṁ sādhanānāṁ sādhyānāñ ca hāniḥ kṣayaḥ syāt, na ca tāvad eva, kintu adhaḥpātaḥ narakādi-bhogaś ca jāyate |
(Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā)
“Thus having shown saṅga and service to the sat [in the prior section of the text], for the sake of [producing] firmness of that in particular, the author describes abandonment of asat-saṅga: asadbhiḥ … [i.e., he composes this verse]. ‘Loss’ (hāniḥ), that is, dissolution, of all objects of this world and of the next world, that is, of all means (sādhanas) and goals (sādhyas), shall occur [as a result of saṅga to the asat], and not only that specifically, but ‘downfall’ (adhaḥpātaḥ), that is, suffering in Naraka and so forth, also ensues.”
