Note 1:
EXPLANATORY NOTE

It has been said in the previous verse that death can strike anytime, in any manner, from any source, and anywhere. What to do now? In this verse, Ācārya says that you scout a place which is beyond death. And, that place is the seat of the liberated souls – the Siddha śilā. Leaving aside the sense of attachment or aversion for external objects, tread the path to liberation (mokṣamārga).
