Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
जीर्णताजिकेपि स्पष्टमुक्तमेवं जीर्णताजिककर्तृभिः प्रामाणिकैरुक्तत्वात्केशवदैवज्ञहरिभट्टगणेशदैवज्ञकृतं सैकतासंस्काररहितं सहमसाधनं न रमणीयम् ॥ अस्मद्गुरूणामेव मते युक्तिसहमालोचयामः ॥ किञ्च सैकतासंस्काररहिते कृतेपि सहमे फले विसंवाद इत्यादि सुज्ञैर्विलोक्यमिति ॥
The Jirna Tajika also says this clearly. Its authors are trusted, and they said it. So the method of finding a sahama (special point for one life topic) made by Keshava Daivajna, Hari Bhatta and Ganesha Daivajna is not pleasing. That method leaves out the step of adding one sign. We look at the matter with reasons, in the view of our own teachers alone. Also, a sahama made without that step gives results that disagree, and so on. Let the wise see this.
Simple meaning: Finding sahamas without adding one sign: Balabhadra rejects it, since the Jirna Tajika states the added sign.
अथ च सैकतासंस्काररहितं सहमसाधनं केशवदैवज्ञगणेशदैवज्ञतोऽतिप्राचीनेन हरिभट्टेनैव कृतमित्यवगम्यते यतस्तस्मात् प्राचीनैर्वामनादिभिः सैकतासंस्कार उक्तोस्ति अत एव ज्ञायते गणेशदैवज्ञकेशवदैवज्ञादिभिराधुनिकैर्हरिभट्टमतेनैव सैकतासंस्काररहितं सहमसाधनं कृतमस्ति ॥ तत्र हरिभट्टस्य सहमसाधनज्ञानलेशोपि नास्ति ॥
Hari Bhatta dropped the added sign first, and later writers copied him. Balabhadra says Hari Bhatta did not know how to find sahamas.
यतस्तेन ताजिकसारे ॥ पुण्यं स्याद्दिवसेर्कतो हिमरुचिः शोध्यः क्षपायां रविश्चंद्राल्लग्नसमन्वितमित्यादिना सकलसहमशिरोमणेः पुण्यसहमस्य साधनं समरसिंहवाक्याज्ञानाद्यथा अन्यथैवोक्तम् ॥ तथैव सैकतासंस्कारोपि नोक्तमित्यलमतिक्लिष्टेन समरसिंहवाक्यविचारविस्तरेण विरम्यते॥
Punya point in Hari Bhatta's Tajikasara: Balabhadra says it is stated wrongly, from not knowing Samarasimha. He ends the argument here.
स्वगुरोर्मतविद्वेषी अलं च मतखंडने॥
Balabhadra's resolve: whoever argues against his teacher's view, no one can stop his effort.
