Fourth Lesson contains details about Gaurava Dhut or abandoning the pride of achievements, taste and comforts. Fifth Lesson contains details about Upasarg Dhut or tolerating various favourable and unfavourable afflictions. In this chapter many common words have been used to convey new meanings. For example veyavi or Vedavid, was conventionally interpreted as an expert of Vedas. A popular and established term of that era, Vedavid, in this chapter, carries the meaning of sagacious and aware of the pain of others. In the same way many other terms, such as sthitatma and drishtiman can be seen conveying new meanings.
