The third mark — of the inner changes, and their list is given by name.
Six: rapture, vexation, fear, wrath, craving and kārpaṇya — “miserliness, beggarliness”, the outlook of a man who counts himself small and short-changed.
The last deserves a separate word, for in a list of passions it looks alien. Yet precisely kārpaṇya is the root of the rest. He who fancies himself short-changed is the one who craves, and fears, and rages.
The verb na parāmṛśyate means “is not touched, gripped, seized”. Not “does not experience”, but “is not taken by them”.
And the qualifier antaḥ — “within”. Outwardly a man may even flare up; the question is whether it took him from inside.
