________________ BOOK 2, LECTURE 6. 417 “(Having reached) this perfection in the Law of the Nirgranthas and standing firm in it, one should live without deceit? The awakened sage who is endowed with all virtues thereby obtained very great fame.” (42) A Vedic Priest. Those who always feed two thousand holy 3 mendicants, acquire great merit and become gods. This is the teaching of the Vêda.' (43) Årdraka. "He who always feeds two thousand holy cats 4 (i.e. Brâhmanas), will have to endure great pains in hell, being surrounded by hungry (beasts). (44) “He who despises the Law that enjoins compassion, and praises the Law that permits slaughter, and who feeds but a single unprincipled man, even if he be a king, will go to darkness", and not to the gods.” (45) A Vêdântin 'Both of us follow (very much the same) Law; we stood firm in it, and shall do so in the time to come; (we believe that) virtue consists in good conduct, and that knowledge is necessary for liberation); and with regard to the Circle of Births there is no difference between us. (46) 1 Samadhi. 2 Anihê. 3 Snataka, cf. Manu XI, 1. • Kulala ya=kulâta, explained mârgâra. Another explanation is: who live (âlaya) in houses. 6 Nisam, literally, night. 6 Silânka calls this opponent an Êkadandin, and ascribes to him the views of the Sankhya philosophy. But it is evident from the sequel that he is a Védântin, as the commentators admit in their comment on the next verse. [45] SC. LTO
