விரும்பியவற்றை விரும்பியபடியே அடைய முடியுமாதலால் இப்பூமியில் தவம் முயன்று செய்யப்படும்.

உறுதிமிக்க நோன்பினால் விரும்பியதை விரும்பியவாறு அடைய முடியுமாதலால், அது விரைந்து முயன்று செய்யப்படுவதாகும்

விரும்பிய பயன்களை விரும்பியவாறே அடைய முடியுமாகையால் செய்யத்தக்க தவம் இந்நிலையிலும் (இல்லற வாழ்க்கையிலும்) முயன்று செய்யப்படும்.
