[58] **"Having seen this too, one should fare without taking anything as 'mine'"** means: having seen — having beheld, weighed, judged, elucidated, and made evident — this danger (ādīnava) in things taken as 'mine' (mamatta); thus, "having seen this too." **"One should fare without taking anything as 'mine'"** means: as to takings as 'mine', there are two takings as 'mine': taking as 'mine' through craving (taṇhā) and taking as 'mine' through views … this is taking as 'mine' through craving … this is taking as 'mine' through views. Having abandoned taking as 'mine' through craving, having relinquished taking as 'mine' through views, not cherishing as 'mine' the eye, not cherishing as 'mine' the ear, not cherishing as 'mine' the nose, not cherishing as 'mine' the tongue, not cherishing as 'mine' the body, not cherishing as 'mine' the mind; not cherishing as 'mine', not grasping, not adhering to, not clinging to forms, sounds, odors, tastes, tangible objects, family, company, dwelling, gain, fame, praise, pleasure, robes, almsfood, lodging, medicinal requisites for the sick, the sense-sphere element (dhātu), the form element, the formless element, sense-sphere existence, form existence, formless existence, percipient existence, non-percipient existence, neither-percipient-nor-non-percipient existence, one-constituent existence, four-constituent existence, five-constituent existence, the past, the future, the present, or things seen, heard, sensed, and cognizable — one should fare, should dwell, should move, should proceed, should maintain oneself, should go on, should keep oneself going. Thus, "having seen this too, one should fare without taking anything as 'mine'."
