## Āturpratyākhyānaprakirṇakam Gā. 57
**56.** The one who is not devoid of consciousness abandons the body, meaning the physical form. When the reading is "na hu tammi," then the meaning is this: If one is not free from external yoga in the past and is not engaged in internal meditation yoga, then he will not abandon the body, meaning the physical form, at the time of death, without being confused.
**56.** Soma asks, "How should such a being be in the path of liberation?" He says, "One who is free from external yoga, which is in the form of external connections, means of travel, tools, and other restrictions, and who is engaged in internal meditation yoga, like "jiṇasāhugunakittaṇa," etc., and who is dependent on the "alllīṇo," should be like that." Just as in that place and time, at that moment, he is not confused, not devoid of consciousness, meaning he is mindful, he abandons the body, meaning the physical form. When the reading is "na hu tammi dese kāle," then the meaning is this: If one is free from external yoga in the past and is engaged in internal meditation yoga, then he will not abandon the body, meaning the physical form, at the time of death, without being confused.
**56.** Guṇa asks, "How should a being be in the path of liberation?" He says, "One who is free from external yoga, which is in the form of external connections, means of travel, tools, and other restrictions, and who is engaged in internal meditation yoga, like "jiṇasādhugunakittaṇa," etc., and who is dependent on the "alllīṇo," should be like that." Just as in that place and time, at that moment, he is not confused, not devoid of consciousness, he abandons the body.

**57.** Bhuk says, "My dear, what will happen to you who are about to abandon your body?" He says, "Having conquered attachment and aversion (singular because of Prakrit grammar) and having broken the chain of eight karmas, 'sankaliam' in the reading, meaning the eight karmas, the fetters of birth and death, meaning birth, old age, and death, the fetters of birth, old age, and death, in which the beings of the world, bound by the mass of karma, wander like a tied goat. Even among them, some who are careless wander and, having broken the garland of virtues, fall into the hellish pit and suffer intense pain.

Having cut such fetters of birth, old age, and death, my dear, you will be liberated from existence."
