Bhuva: The feeling of "this is mine" is attachment, which is an obstacle to all essential things. I know this through knowledge-cognition, and I abandon it through rejection-cognition. What kind of being am I? I am established in non-attachment, relying on it. Then, what is my support for contemplation? It says: My support is my Self, the cause of my worship, and I abandon the rest, like the body and its accessories. ||24||
Soma: The feeling of "this is mine" is attachment, which is an obstacle to all things desired by the mind. I know this through knowledge-cognition, and I abandon it through rejection-cognition.

It says: My support is my Self, the cause of my worship, and I abandon the rest, like the body and its accessories. ||24||
Gana: I know attachment, which is an obstacle to essential things, through knowledge-cognition, and I abandon it through rejection-cognition. I am established in non-attachment, relying on it. My support is my Self, the cause of my worship, and I abandon the rest, like the body and its accessories. ||24||
My Self is my support in knowledge, my Self is my support in vision and conduct. My Self is my support in rejection, my Self is my support in restraint and yoga. ||25||
My Self is my support in knowledge, my Self is my support in vision and conduct. My Self is my support in rejection, my Self is my support in restraint and yoga. ||25||
Bhuva: Then, in what matters is the Self the support? It says: The Self constantly goes to those and those wombs. It is clearly my support in the matter of knowledge. My Self is my support in vision, in right conduct, and also in conduct. Similarly, in rejection, which is the form of knowing the devotee, in restraint, which is the form of accepting all renunciation, and in yoga, which is the form of a well-regulated mind, speech, and body, my Self is my support. Because of this: Knowledge, vision, and conduct are things that can be achieved with help, and they are never separate from the Self. Therefore, by taking up the Self, they are obtained. ||25||
